This wedding was amazingly fun to DJ! I had my fellow DJ Katt with me, and we did the ceremony there on-site at the Rum River Barn, which is a lovely rustic old barn converted into a banquet facility.
Dinner & Dancing were upstairs in the barn loft, and after a slight technical glitch (someone flipped the light switch that powered the outlet our system was plugged into) everyone was dancing the night away!
I really enjoyed DJ’ing this wedding. The father of the bride was in a band many years ago and recorded a special version of his band singing “my girl” for the father daughter dance. It was also a pretty large group of people and once the dancing started the dance floor was full all night long!
The DECC staff was also excellent as usual, with a delicious meal and friendly bar staff that kept my pitcher of water full all night long (I drank 3 pitchers of water over the course of the night!)

Full dance floor all night long!
Matthew and Autumn’s wedding was amazing! They ordered the additional uplighting package so I was able to make the city hall look much better with splashes of light against the walls.
They had lots of family and friends of all ages, and I had them all dancing the night away!
Here is what they had to say about it afterwards:
Autumn’s dad is hard to impress – and he had a blast thanks to the Aaron! He was friendly, outgoing, and got Matt excited about the garter toss – which was something he originally was worried about. He made us feel comfortable and not have to worry about a thing. Guests had fun and we WILL recommend your company to friends 🙂
Anna and Casey were married in the Dominican Republic (Destination wedding, AWESOME!) and then threw a big party at Clyde Iron Works for friends and family. It was a pretty big reception, and was definitely a great crowd. I had fellow DJ Julian Williams with me and we had a great time.
The dance floor was packed all night long, and toward the end of the night we switched it up and went into Karaoke Dance Party mode, where guests would sing karaoke and everyone else would dance while they sang.
Here is the review Anna and Casey left for me on weddingchannel.com
Nicolle & Ryan were actually married 3 months ago, and were originally not going to have a wedding reception, but their friends and family convinced them they needed to. So this was a pretty laid back reception, and once the dancing started, it was the “it” party in town!
This family was so much fun! I had brought along extra uplights to decorate the room with and the room looked amazing. I’m pissed that I forgot to take any pictures!
Once the dancing got started, the crowd really got into it. The crowd kept requesting awesome songs and I pretty much played requests all night to a full house.
Me all dressed up and ready to DJ!
Fall was the season for weddings at Blackwoods, and winter is the season for weddings at Greysolon Plaza! Ian and Lindsays wedding was so much fun! The dance floor was full all night, and several guests came up to me towards the end of the night to tell me that they had never had a DJ be that much fun at a wedding reception.
Another beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at Greysolon Plaza in the Moorish Room. I did the sound for the ceremony, and then reset everything for the reception and dancing.
It was a good crowd, the bride & groom had a pretty big do-not-play list, but I was able to find plenty of good dancing songs to keep everyone dancing and entertained. 🙂
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.
