The personal blog of an old-fashioned geek
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!
I had mentioned in an earlier post that I DJ’ed the webster high school dance last fall, and that they requested for me personally to DJ their winter ball. Well here we are! I had fellow DJ Tobin with me and we rocked it! The kids had fun dancing, and the coronation of the King/Queen went off very well. I look forward to doing more school dances for Webster High School in the future!
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!
When I was asked to DJ this wedding, I thought the name on the workorder looked familiar. Sure enough, when I called my clients (Brandon & Rachel) it turned out that Brandon was one of my buddies that had moved away. They simply ordered a DJ through Pro Sound & Light show and were surprised to find me DJ’ing their wedding.
This family was so much fun to DJ for, it was a beautiful reception at the Lutsen Ski Resort, and Rachel had a special surprise for Brandon during their first dance. It was a song that she recorded of herself playing guitar and singing, and it was beautiful.
I received a 5-star wedding wire review for this wedding!

This was my first Gay Wedding. I did the sound for the ceremony outside on the hill overlooking the bay and Lake Superior, and then we had the reception upstairs in the chalet. My fellow DJ Carie Burkhart was with me and this was one of the most fun receptions I had.
Unfortunately this wedding was in symbolism only, since gay marriage is not yet legal in MN, but it was still a very special day.
The dance floor was packed, and I received tons of compliments from guests telling me how much fun they had.
Willow River is a small town about 30 minutes south of Duluth. This was a really fun school dance, it was after a football game, and the kids were definitely exhausted by the end of the night. The gym’s dance floor was hopping all night long, and the group dances (cupid shuffle, cha cha slide, etc) were a big hit as always.
I knew this wedding was going to be awesome before I even arrived. In talking to my clients (Jeff & Jenna) beforehand, I knew they were a high-energy couple, and they had a huge plan for their grand march introduction to the reception. One of the friends of the goom dressed up in a basketball jersey, and the bridesmaids and groomsman formed a team huddle/tunnel as I announced them. Jeff & Jenna came into the room passing a basketball between them and the entire room went wild.
The dance floor was packed the whole night, and as I was packing up at the end of the night even the bartender at the DECC commented on how good of a night it was, he hadn’t seen a dance floor stay that packed that late into the night before.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures or video from this reception 🙁
With my fellow DJ Joe Thoennes, we rocked this wedding! The crowd was a blast, the dance floor was packed the whole night, and Joe & Brittany had a great time. The Edgewater staff was also amazing with dinner and everything as well.
Packed Dance Floor!
This wedding was interesting. On my way to the venue, I felt my wheel shaking on my car, and about a mile away from the place, I felt a “pop” and saw several of my lug bolts shear off and go flying into the ditch. Once I pulled into the parking lot and looked at my wheel, it was hanging at an angle, and only attached by 1 bolt left.
Needless to say, I set up for the reception, called and arranged for a friend to pick me up afterwards, and had to have my car towed home the next day!
Regardless of the troubles I had with my car that day, the reception went of without a hitch, and Sarah & Nico were very happy!
My wheel fell off on my way to DJ the wedding reception!
