Ben & Katie’s Wedding – Dellwood Hills Country Club

by

Black Friday!  While most of America was up early shopping for deals, I was traveling down to Dellwood MN, a nice suburb on the north side of the Twin Cities to DJ Ben & Katie’s wedding.  The Dellwood Hills Country Club is a very nice venue, and I enjoyed working with the staff there to make the event a success.  We did the ceremony, and afterwards there was a receiving line/cocktail hour in an adjacent room while the staff reset the main room for “dinner”.  There wasn’t really dinner, rather an extended cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres.  But after an hour or so we kicked off the dance floor and partied it up.

I had met with Ben & Katie in person the week before to go over the details for their big day, and this was a very fun couple.  They are blessed with great friends and family, and I was honored to play a role in making sure their day turned out the way they wanted it to, with lots of energy and excitement, and everyone having a blast.

Jessica & James’ Wedding – St. Cloud Country Club

by

This was a very fun wedding, I did the sound for the ceremony on-site and then MC’ed the reception.  It was a smaller wedding, but everyone had a great time.  During the dance one of the Uncles came up to sing an AC/DC song.  I played a bunch of games with everyone and had several of their family members come up and tell me that they had never been to a wedding with an MC, or a DJ that was so interactive and fun.  Jessica & James have amazing family and friends and I had a great time being a part of their wedding day.

Tony & Sara’s Wedding at BayView Event Center, Excelsior MN

by

This is my first time at BayView Event Center, and it is an awesome venue, the staff were wonderful and the ceremony down by the docks was beautiful.  Tony & Sara were married on the shore of Lake Minnetonka, and then we had an excellent dinner and this crowd really liked to dance.  Instead of doing a typical garter toss, they opted to do a garter auction, and I was the auctioneer.  We had a bit of fun with that as the sorority sisters and fraternity brothers got into a bidding war against each other for the garter.

I played pretty much non-stop guest requests all night and the crowd was loving it.  The energy on the dance floor carried through until the very end when the lights came on and we had to stop.

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.
