The personal blog of an old-fashioned geek
I always enjoy doing weddings at Superior Shores Resort in Two Harbors MN… more often than not they are for clients whose family & friends are from out of town since the North Shore of Lake Superior is a “destination wedding” location. So I get to meet people from all over… and this January wedding was no exception! We did the ceremony inside due to the snow & cold… and then we danced!
Once again I had the pleasure to DJ a wedding at Superior Shores Resort. Jenna, the banquet manager at Superior Shores is great, and I know that when I’m DJ’ing there that it’s going to be a great time.
Nick & Katie’s wedding was a blast! They had a last-minute change for their officiant, but we rolled with it, and the ceremony was done inside the banquet hall. They had friends and family come from all over the states, and I was taking requests for songs I hadn’t played in a LONG time. I always enjoy when the guests push me into new music & genre’s that I haven’t played in a while, as it keeps me on my toes.
This was an AMAZING wedding! It was a smaller reception, with only 60-70 guests, and they had the ceremony out on the shore of lake superior. I always love doing weddings at Superior Shores Resort, the staff there are awesome, and it is normally a very beautiful venue for a wedding ceremony and reception. I set up the sound system and microphones out by the lakeshore, and everything goes well… 99% of the time.
This time, it was a very windy and chilly october day, but the Bride & Groom are both very outdoorsy and insisted that we still do the ceremony outside by the lakeside. So that’s what we did! I threw a garbage bag over the speaker to protect it from the water that was spraying up from the lake, and the officiant trimmed his message so everyone didn’t have to stay out in the wind and cold for too long. But even with the weather, it was a lovely ceremony, and it was truly a wedding that those guests are never going to forget. Looking back in 30 years time, Joe & Kayla will be able to tell their children “back in our day, we got married and it was windy, and wet, and cold, but we LOVED it!”
After an amazing dinner, we then danced the night away. This family was so much fun, and it was really a blessing for me to be able to be a part of their special day. I told Joe how much I appreciated his service for our country, and even joined everyone upstairs at the resort bar for an after-party drink before heading home.
It was a blustery October day on the shore of Lake Superior, but by golly we still had the ceremony by the crashing waves and in the wind… and it was great! Then we came back inside to warmth, fun, good food, good friends, and DANCING!
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!
