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.

Saturday's wedding reception was extra special for me as I was honored to be asked to provide the wedding reception music and entertainment for the Daughter of my photographer friend Rich Walton. The night was split into two rooms at The Mill Top in Noblesville - The cocktail hour, photobooth and dance area was in one room, and dinner in another. Both rooms were stunningly beautiful. Banquet manager Susan Liang did a fantastic job directing the nights events. It's always great to work with Brandon and Cybil New with B&C Studios who provided videography service. Troy Hill provided the (very popular) photo booth and photography and was assisted by Mark Dutkevitch. I look forward to seeing their shots of the night The evening moved quickly starting with the cocktail hour. I could tell by the noise level that this was going to be a partying crowd - and was it ever! Jenn and Shane arrived to mingle with the guests and then cut the cake before everyone moved over to the second room for the wedding party introductions and dinner. Catering was provided by MBP Catering - The food was all delicious but most memorable for me was the mashed potato bar! After dessert there were several heartfelt and very funny toasts and then Jenn and Shane were ready to dance!
The couple's first dance was to Ray LaMontane's - You are the best thing. Jenn then shared a dance with her Father to Stevie Wonder's - Isn't she lovely.
Shane danced with his Mom to Michael Buble's - You make me feel so young. Jenn and Shane wanted to spotlight all the married couples, so we did an anniversary dance to Can't help falling in love by Elvis. That was followed by one of the bartenders providing a very entertaining Fire show!
The next two and half hours was non stop dancing and celebrating - It just went by so quickly!
Jenn and Shane, thanks for letting me be a part of your special day. Here is some video I hope you enjoy. Oh, the lady you see smiling deliriously looks that way because she found the fan I put on the dance floor : )
