Tim and Sarah – Valentini’s Vicino Lago – Duluth, Minnesota

July 21, 2013 by Aaron

I was called early Sunday morning by my fellow DJ Sam, he was supposed to be DJ’ing this wedding that afternoon/evening but had a sudden family emergency and asked me if I could cover for him.  Even though I had gotten home around 1:30AM that morning from DJ’ing Chris & Holly’s wedding the night before, I said “Of Course!”.

I went into this wedding without any preparation other than reviewing the information Sam had a couple hours before I was due to start.  Valentini’s Vicino Lago is a great Italian restaurant along the lake walk in Duluth, MN and is normally closed on Sundays except for private events.

I met Tim & Sarah once they arrived at the restaurant and let them know about Sam’s emergency, and not to worry, they were in great hands (I did earn the title “DJ of the Year 2012” after all!).  I also had the benefit of having another fellow DJ, Ian, as one of the goomsmen.

Dinner was delicious, and after Valentini’s staff cleared away several of the tables we had a dance floor!  It was a little tight, but it was packed all night.  Friends of the bride came up towards the end of the night and thanked me profusely for making Sarah’s day so amazing.

Congrats Tim & Sarah!

Chris & Holly – Spirit Mountain, Duluth MN

July 20, 2013 by Aaron

I always like DJ’ing weddings at Spirit Mountain, the staff there is great, and it is just a beautiful venue.  I did the sound/music for Chris & Holly’s ceremony on the hillside overlooking the bay and Lake Superior.  Then we moved inside to the chalet for dinner and dancing all night long.

The people at this reception were amazing, and the dance floor was super packed with well over 100 people.  I knew based on music requests that I took during dinner that I needed to play “Paradise by the Dashboard light” by Meatloaf, and when I did the entire place went nuts!  Just check out the 2nd part of the video I took during the dance.

Bob and Tara – Camp Miller, Sturgeon Lake MN

Bob and Tara had their ceremony and reception and Camp Miller in Sturgeon Lake MN.  I did the sound for the ceremony down by the lake, and then we had dinner and danced the night away in the main building.  There was a light sprinkle/drizzle for the ceremony, but that didn’t stop us!  After dinner everyone danced the night away.  It was a smaller reception, but everyone had a great time.

Shawn & Morgan – Eagle Forest Acres, Blackduck MN

July 5, 2013 by Aaron

Shawn & Morgan’s wedding was a crazy fun night of dinner & dancing in a tent, in a field, in the middle of nowhere.  Even with the heat, and the bugs, and everything else that comes from DJ’ing in a tent, the dance floor was packed all night.  And I had to disappoint a lot of people when 1AM rolled around and it was time to shut down.

I also got a new iPad mini that takes a LOT better video & pictures than my phone ever did!
