The energy that night at the Mandarin Oriental was already off the charts as Alia and Daniel were escorted into the ballroom by a Zafe band. So, when they wowed us with a choreographed first dance to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel,” it was sensational!

Later in the evening, everyone had a blast watching a belly dancer perform while the Zafe band played. After that, they were more than ready to celebrate! The crowd exploded onto the dance floor for a crazy dance party, rocking out all night to music by Journey, The Commodores, The Four Seasons, Ke$ha, Usher, House of Pain, Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Justin Timberlake, Outkast, Rob Base, DJ Kook, Miley Cyrus, and some cool Bhangra music!

To cap everything off, Alia and Daniel had a glittering sparkler send-off surrounded by their friends and family. It was a spectacular night! Thank goodness they had the best videographer in town, Blue Sky Films, and photographer Leigh Taylor to document their event.
