Sacramento Wedding DJ
With wedding season now in full bloom, I finally got to play at the phenomenal Monte Verde Inn. I sure missed it!
Nick and Gina married indoors amongst 35 of their closest friends and family. Rev. Jeri Murphy officiated, and the festivities began. Our photog, Eye Connoisseur had eyes everywhere!
Great food, great family and friends, dancing, and even a hunorous quiz for both Moms which made us all chuckle provided a spark!
Congratulations Nick and Gina!

Lake Natoma Inn Bat Mitzvah - Sacramento Bar Mitzvah DJ
Sacramento Wedding DJ
We had one heck of a good time this past Saturday at Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom, as we celebrated Hannah's Bat Mitzvah! Over 100 friends and family gathered to witness her become an adult and then party like rock stars!
We had lunch (which lasts about 5 minutes with the younger set!), and I invited everyone present to text message me their song requests for the day! My phone BLEW up!!! We had the photobooth rockin' all day, and I had a menu of games and dancing ready to go.
We limbo'd, we Cha Cha Slided, we wrapped each other in toilet paper, we busted balloons tied to ankles, we danced, we played more games!!
It was an action packed day to say the least, and we left the poor Inn with quite a mess to clean up, sorry!!!

Grand Ballroom Sacramento Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ
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.

Loomis, Ca Wedding DJ - Blue Goose Wedding
Sacramento Wedding DJ
Just last night, I played for Disa and Jason at one of my favorite hidden gems, The Blue Goosenin Loomis. I worked with Brenda from Asante Catering, who always excels in the food dept!
Disa and Jason married in Hawaii 3 months prior, and this was a celebration to share with friends and family. They didn't want the pomp and circumstance that go with most weddings, and only wanted me to verbally introduce their first dance. So after dinner, dessert and one toast, the first dance (Anne Murray - Could I Have This Dance) kicked off what was a kick of a party. There were quite a few kids amongst us, so I kept them as involved as I did the adults, and we had a great time.
Time to prepare for next Friday night!

Monte Verde Inn Open House - Auburn, CA Wedding DJ
Sacramento Wedding DJ
Just yesterday we had a ball at the annual Open House at Monte Verde Inn!
Doug and Kelly, owners, generous enough to invite their preferred vendors to share the stage with all of their booked couples for 2012. MVI cooks up most items on each menu, and everyone gets to sample whatever theymdesire, as they begin the process of choosing food for their wedding. MVI does an amazing job on this day, as they set the bar high for the year to come.
Us vendors quickly introduce ourselves and get to mix with couples we have already booked, and look to meet some potential new clients. I played our 'Nearly Newlyweds' game and cracked up at some of the answers our couples gave us!
The weather was great, the company was great and we couldn't ask for anything more.

Band or DJ? - Sacramento Wedding DJ
Great question, band or DJ? I get asked this quite often, and will be playing and providing DJ services along with a band a couple of time this coming year for wedding couples.
To be honest, there is an energy that a band gives off that a DJ just can't replicate. Live music, if done well, makes for a great party. I have been to events where a band would play a song that I would never dream of playing. My inside voice says, 'Oh, this will never work!' Low and behold, the dancefloor is packed and I must swallow my words. It's just the energy that live music gives off that can pack a dancefloor.
That said, from my experience, there things that a great DJ does that a band doesn't do. Those elements are providing ceremony music with wireless lapel microphones, provide MC services that create special moments and memories well before the dancing begins, light up a room with special event lighting such as uplights, a monogram spotlight (GOBO), be able to change music directions instantly, and much more.
There are merits to both services, but in most cases, a quality DJ tends to provide a more fulfilling experience...in my humble opinion!
