Alexann and Jake - Mavris Event Center November 9th 2013

How long have I been a DJ? I just started Grapevine about the time my friends Mike and Martha had a baby boy and named him Jake. He's all grown up and he found his perfect match in Alexann!
If you have ever been to the Mavris you know it's a great spot for a party and this night was no exception. It started with the wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour on the third floor and then guests moved downstairs for dinner and lots of dancing - It was a blast and it was a big honor to be a part of this celebration.
Thanks to my photographer friends Brandon and Cybil for the photos. Also thanks to Ellie Lowe with The Mavris who helped make everything flow perfectly.

Jennifer and Caleb - N.C.A.A. Hall of Champions November 2nd 2013

Jennifer and Caleb had an intimate (50 person) baseball themed wedding ceremony and reception at the new N.C.A.A. Conference Center on Saturday. Many special touches and surprises made their wedding one that I'm sure will be always remembered. The wedding was officiated by Caleb's youth pastor and friend Andy who later in the night presented the couple with a letter written by Tommy Lasorda congratulating them on their marriage! Another highlight was a recorded long distance toast from Caleb's friend who was unable to attend (this is something Grapevine sets up from time to time). It was a great pleasure working with event manager (and former Grapevine client herself) Kelly Kees.
Jennifer and Caleb, it was a treat to meet and work with you both and I wish you and yours decades of happiness and home-runs!
