Blackwoods is really a popular wedding venue this fall! I’ve DJ’ed a bunch of awesome weddings at Blackwoods, and this one was no exception!
The entire wedding party showed up wearing classy masks and the room had a fall/harvest halloween theme. It was really cool, and like usual, the dance floor was PACKED!
I really need to start taking pictures of the weddings I do!
This was such a lovely wedding reception. The Greysolon Plaza Moorish Room was exquisite, dinner was excellent, and everyone had a great time.
Chad & Anna had some special requests and I made sure that I took care of them and everything went smoothly.
I ordered a new American Audio VMS4.1 DJ mixer, and it arrived today! I’m so excited to start using it and improving the quality of the gigs I do.
It’s a 4-channel midilog mixer, which means that when plugged into the computer, I can have 4 separate audio channels coming out, or I can flip a switch on each individual channel and convert it to an analog channel to mix sound from a CD player, iPod, turntable, etc.

2 weddings at Blackwoods in Proctor in the same weekend! This was a large group, and the room was packed during dinner. We had to tear down some tables to make room for the dance floor, and once the dancing started, this crowd went wild!
I played some fun games with the guests, and both Jake and Anna told me afterwards how happy they were to have me DJ their wedding.
Here is what they said on my comment form that Pro Sound sent them afterwards:
Aaron was great and able to quickly adapt to what the situation was. Guests have been telling us what a great reception it was – Aaron gets all the credit! Thank You!
Another great evening at Blackwoods! Sabrina and Grant have such fun families, the entire crowd was a blast to interact with. It wasn’t hard to keep the dance floor packed all night!
I believe this is the farthest I have travelled for a wedding to date, 4-hours away from home! The Barn (Holiday Inn) in Alexandria is a cute barn style venue, and it was pretty classy when I showed up to get set up.
Dinner was excellent, and the entire bridal party looked sharp! Jared & McKenzie both said they had an awesome time and the dance floor was packed all night long. I even did 2 encore songs at the end of the night, and they wanted to keep going for another hour, but the venue staff shut the party down.
Rather than drive back all night, I stayed at a buddies place who lived 30 minutes away, and I drove back in the morning.
