Danielle and Joseph - Lodi Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

This picture just doesn't tell the story of one the most Grand weddings I have been a part of. Last Saturday, Joe and Danielle wedded on a family vineyard in Lodi...in the 108 degree weather!

I fortunately shared the vendor workday with the amazing Aimee Wendell of 2chic Events, and Jessica Stout of Stout Photography. It doesn't get any better!

Danielle emailed me a year ago...at 5:00am...the morning after she got engaged. She was on the ball, let me tell ya! This was one big affair, and it was decked out. There was a gorgeous tent structure which housed 300 guests, the shot above was of the fabric-laden structure over the dancefloor, which had 4 chandeliers hanging from above. We used 40 uplights, we projected color and patterns on the large home attached to this property, we spotlit the dessert table, the lounges, the bars and more to highlight them.

They had elegant everything, from food to cocktails to decor to programs, and more. Eye candy everywhere!

We started at 5:00, and had a full dancefloor all the way to midnight, and we were all a hot-sweaty mess!!

Grand Ballroom Sacramento Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

I was really looking forward to playing for Mike and Andrea's wedding this past weekend. We met and booked about a year ago, and they had 'Grand' plans for wedding day. Their ceremony was held in the ballroom under a Chupah, and they had 7 readers pledging their blessings upon the lucky couple!

We had the photobooth rocking all night long, and took the most photos we've ever taken at a wedding!! You should have seen some of the shots, especially late night ones! I uplit the entry and ballroom in amber and as the house lights dimmed, the room just warmed right up.

Rebecca, Barry and Lindsay from Ford Family Photography were the biggest help ever! They were shuttling people upstairs for post ceremony photos, and without them, I couldn't have effectively moved everyone so quickly.

I want to get right to dancing, so looking at the clock, the first dance began with about 3 hours until the scheduled end time. Let me tell ya', they rocked the dancefloor until the very last second!!! It was really a fun group. Andrea Facebook'd me the next morning to thank me for a great time, and that was all I needed to hear.

Sacramento Wedding DJ - Sacramento Wedding Lights

Now that the wedding season is coming to a close, 2011 was an amazing year by the way!!......I can focus on some areas that I feel are worthy of mentioning.

First off is spotlighting your cake. There has been an emphasis on event lighting, uplighting, monogram lighting and more this year, and an area that I think also needs attention is making sure your cake is highlighted appropriately.

Whenever we 'light' a room, we dim the house lights to bring out the color of what we put in place. What then happens is the cake that someone has taken 20 hours designing disappears because the lights come down. The photo above is a perfect example of just that. On the left is how your cake would look before we light it, and on the right is how it should look!

The cake is one of the centerpieces of any wedding, and if you're going to invest as much as $2,000.00 on a masterpiece, it's well worth another $99.00 to bring it to life.
