Hi Jai!

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful pictures and the surprising picture video - which all captured the magic of Sarah and Jeremy's wedding. Our friends and family agree they are by far the best wedding pictures anyone has ever seen. Your artisty and creativity shine through. You are truly a master in your field. The one word that comes to mind when looking at the pictures is "Hollywood!"

KEN ARLEN GIVES KUDOS TO JAI GIRARD

Jai Girard Photography was recently mentioned on Ken Arlen's Website.
Take a look at the article below
...............................................................................................................................

KAO's Blue Plate Special



When one of Chicago’s premier catering companies holds a party of its own for the city’s top event planners, it's no surprise that the entertainment is the Ken Arlen Orchestra.
Held June 4th at the Ivy Room, this exclusive event was Blue Plate Catering’s way of thanking Chicago’s event planning community. Impressing these professionals was the order of the evening, and the special guests were treated to an exclusive preview of Blue Plate’s new menu items, a peacock-feather décor by Botanicals, and special lighting design by Sound Investment. The gorgeous seating cards and menus were by Elizabeth Grace, and photographer Jai Girard documented the evening. But above all, it was the irresistible music of the Ken Arlen Orchestra that got the crowd on their feet and really made the event take off.
From the excitement of the Sirens, Ken Arlen’s exclusive rock violin show, to KAO’s outstanding vocalists Michael Avery, Leslie Hunt, Marquecia Jordan and Dave Van Der Laan, the Ken Arlen Orchestra had this group of experienced hospitality pros crowding the dance floor late into the night.
