This was such a fun wedding for me - I play mostly newer music for weddings which is great. I'm happy to play whatever music makes people dance, but Colby and Lance wanted mostly older music like Motown and 60's, 70's & 80's - I was more than happy to oblige! What surprised me was that the music was enjoyed by the younger guests as well as the older guests. I received very few requests for new music. Colby and Lance were very laid back and easy going (there were just 2 songs on their play-list). They wanted their reception to be simple, elegant and fun (with great food by MBP catering) and that is just what they achieved. I got to work with Caitlin Poe the managing director at the remarkable Indiana Landmark Center who I have known since she was a teenager and with one of my favorite photographers Anne Buskirk. I will add some of her photos when they are ready. In the mean time, here is a little video I shot.
Finally, here is the WeddingWire review I received 2 days after the wedding : )
"Excellent DJ! Would have given him 6 stars if I could! Goes above and
beyond with having information and resources for scheduling key wedding
moments. Great personality with lots of experience. He knew how to keep
the guests dancing until closing. Surprised us with a 7 minute video
capturing some great moments at our reception. Would recommend him for
any wedding."
In September I had the pleasure of providing the music and serving as the emcee for Meganne and Charles Brezina's wedding reception at the always elegant and magnificent Indiana History Center in Indianapolis. Meganne looked absolutely
stunning and Charles looked pretty dapper himself. You could really tell how much they adore each other! They were surrounded by loving
friends and family and I think everyone had an amazing time dancing the
night away! One of the highlights were the individual cakes at each table. Meganne and Charles went to each table a cut the cake - It was a nice personal touch. Another highlight was Meganne's Father who asked for the microphone after I introduced the wedding party so he could personally introduce the new Mr and Mrs! I am so honored to have been a part of this wonderful celebration and
wish Meganne and Charles an incredible future and lifetime of happiness. My thanks to photographer Anne (super-talent) Buskirk for use of the photos.

If you are looking to have a great party, let me recommend having it at the incredible Sky Line Club and invite some Australians! Kelsey met and fell in love with Jarreth while going to school in Australia and many of his friends and family members from the land down under (yes it was played) made the trip to attend and enjoyed themselves fully at this great celebration. I'm sure there were some sore feet Sunday morning because there was non-stop dancing for close to 4 hours! Guests enjoyed the cocktail hour in the Skyline Club's Bistro and then collected their mini pumpkin place card holders that helped them find their seats for dinner.
After dinner, Kelsey and Jarreth cut the cake to the song "I can't help myself (Sugar pie honey bunch)" - Jess Mauboy.
The couple shared their first dance to "Everything" By Michael Buble.
The Father Daughter dance song was "Colour my world" Chicago.
The Mother Son dance song was "How sweet it is" James Taylor.
I found out Aussies do a line dance to Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner although Kelsey may be dancing to the Cupid Shuffle here.
It was a pleasure working with Sky Line Club's event coordinator Kelsey Snyder and for the 3rd time in 2 months, photographer Anne Buskirk. < Check her out! Congratulations Kelsey and Jarreth and thanks for letting me serve as your DJ for your fun & fantastic wedding reception!
