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!
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 🙂
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.
I believe this is the farthest I have travelled for a wedding to date, 4-hours away from home! The Barn (Holiday Inn) in Alexandria is a cute barn style venue, and it was pretty classy when I showed up to get set up.
Dinner was excellent, and the entire bridal party looked sharp! Jared & McKenzie both said they had an awesome time and the dance floor was packed all night long. I even did 2 encore songs at the end of the night, and they wanted to keep going for another hour, but the venue staff shut the party down.
Rather than drive back all night, I stayed at a buddies place who lived 30 minutes away, and I drove back in the morning.
Wow! Steve & Jade’s wedding was awesome! Inside a huge tent in their family’s yard, there were over 600 people there!
The dancing and party went all night long, and everyone had a great time.
600 people dancing in a tent!
I received a stellar review on www.theknot.com for my performance at this wedding.

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!
