Video Log – Back to Back Weddings

by

I had back to back weddings this past weekend.  Here’s a video featuring both of them.  The first was in the Twin Cities at the Marriott in Brooklyn Park on Friday, and then Saturday’s was at Giant’s Ridge Ski Resort in Biwabik MN.  It was quite the weekend!

Shannon & Wayne’s Wedding – The Lodge at Giants Ridge, Biwabik MN

by

After DJing down in the twin cities the night before, I drove all the way up to Biwabik MN to DJ Shannon & Wayne’s weddding at The Lodge at Giants Ridge.  It was a beautiful drive, with the trees turning their fall colors.

It was raining all day, and they were going to have the ceremony outside, but due to the rain, we relocated the ceremony inside, right where we were going to have dinner.  So with all of the guests seated at their tables, they said their “I do’s” right in front of the head table.   After a wonderful dinner, everyone filled the dance floor and we danced the night away.  This was an incredibly fun family, and I had a blast being a part of their day.

Video from the wedding that I was the Master of Ceremonies and DJ for at the Orchard in Baldwin WI.  This was my first time at the Orchard, and the staff there were great!  I look forward to performing here again in the future.

David & Shelby’s Wedding – The Orchard in Baldwin WI

by

David & Shelby had their wedding reception at The Orchard in Baldwin WI.  This was my first time at The Orchard, but it is an amazing venue and has great staff.  I really enjoyed working with them to make sure that David & Shelby’s reception was a success.

This was a smaller wedding, so it was more intimate and personal, and very special.  I did a love story for them, and it was great sharing that special moment with everyone.  Later on in the night David surprised Shelby by pulling out his guitar and ‘serenading’ her. He let me know this was what he wanted to do so I made sure to have my extra mixer and cables along to get his guitar set up through my speaker system.

Travis & Jenna’s Wedding – Legends Golf Club in Prior Lake MN

by

Wedding #2 of a 2-wedding weekend, I travelled all the way down to Prior Lake, MN to the wonderful Legends Golf Club.  This was an amazing venue and the staff was wonderful.  I had DJ Julian with me and we nearly brought down the house!  At the end of the night, the party just did not want to stop.

I accidentally ended up leaving my tuxedo suit coat at Legends Golf Club and had to go back the next day to retrieve it.  Thankfully when I’m DJ’ing in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area I stay with family so I don’t have to drive back to Duluth late at night.

Jeff & Lindsay’s Wedding at Superior Shores Resort, Two Harbors MN

by

This is wedding #1 of a 2-wedding weekend.  I went up to Superior Shores Resort in Two Harbors MN to DJ Jeff & Lindsay’s wedding.  They had a BEAUTIFUL ceremony out on the shore of lake superior that I ran the sound for.  After the ceremony we had a lovely cocktail hour out on the lawn, followed by an amazing dinner and dancing.  Jeff & Lindsay were such a fun couple, and the guests kept brining me their requests.  We easily had the hottest party in town!
