Arden Hills Country Club wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Last night marked the fun wedding of Todd and Kristina. Between them, they have 5 kids, who were all dressed to the nines, well behaved and just itchin' to dance!

They married in the heritage room, had cocktails in the adjacent lounge, and upon their grand entrance, the open bar began, which the guests were very excited about. We took them right into their first dance, had a great Arden Hills dinner, and all-the-while the photobooth was churning out some hilarious stuff!

Toasts were impromptu and quite humorous, and the dancing was non-stop for 2.5 hours.

Everyone exited sweaty, happy, and ready for sleep. Job well done!

River Highlands Ranch Wedding - Smartsville Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Well, this was my first trip out to Smartsville, just outside of Grass Valley. Their was a gem of a venue, called River Hughlands Ranch. It houses a large barn with rooms above, freshly manicured lawns and shrubs outside, a pretty ceremony site, smokers for them BBQ'n types, and much more. It is also a working ranch, grass fed!

Although chilly, we had a great ceremony, a rowdy cocktail hour with dual kegs, and fabulous BBQ dinner with cornbread and all the fixins.

The dancing was more of a mix than usual, consisting of country, classic rock...and of course some hip/hop fav's.

I can't wait to go back!

Old Sugar Mill Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Jon and Jen married this last Friday night at The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, one of my favorite venues.

They were married in the barrel room, and their young son was right in their arms for the entire ceremony!! Guests enjoyed wine and apps while Jon and Jen finished with their photos. Our photobooth had a constant line as well, and funny hats were floating around everywhere!

Asante Catering rocked dinner service, and as we moved into toasting, there were no 'assigned' presenters, so I just opened up the mic and had some impromptu fun.

Their first dance was Train's 'Marry Me.' The rest of the evening was dancing, photoboothing and socializing until the lights came up at eleven.

Old Sugar Mill Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ



Just last night at Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, Brian and April had a classy ceremony, with a funny touch of humor (about how much the ring costed), and cocktail hour followed in the Tasting Room and Gallery.

We had some fun in store for their guests, which I am soooo in favor of. Brian wrote some great wedding party bios and chose songs for each....that they knew nothing about. As we moved toward dinner, Mama Kim Cooks had an amazing buffet waiting, and we asked guests questions about both Brian and April, and the winner got to take their table through the buffet. It was really fun, because the questions were not all that easy!

Toasts were funny, cake was tasty, and the first dance was out of this world. Brian produced a mashup of songs that they choreographed a hilarious dance to, and the guests were in stitches! Dad danced with April, Mom with Brian, and all married couples with the newlyweds. The longest married were 36 years, whose advice to Brian and April were to keep quiet!

The dancefloor filled instantly, and never emptied...at all. We had 'em rockin, and at one point, I brought all photobooth props onto the dancefloor and had everyone wear a hat, and then switch with someone else. I can't wait to see the photos from Jessica Stout of Stout Photo. They promise to amazing, like all of her work.

Lake Natoma Inn Wedding - Folsom Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

My dear friend Michelle married her man, Brent this past Saturday, and I just knew it was going to be a BASH! I setup 22 uplights, both in amber and in purple to match the theme of their details at Lake Natoma.

My DJ assistant Greg actually officiated the ceremony, and it was a riot! Super funny ingredients mixed in with super touching moments! Cocktail hour followed, and the photobooth was packed all night long!

Michelle and Brent took the time to write out some questions and answers about themselves, and their guests had to 'work' for their admittance into the buffet line. It definitely kept the mood fun and light, and is a great way to create conversation at tables.

We made our way to the dancefloor after toasts, and the party began! We danced, sang and shouted until the lights came up, and the afterparty was probably at Powerhouse til 2am!

I wish my friends the best!

Fall weddings make for gorgeous events, especially at Monte Verde Inn in Foresthill, CA. The grounds at this time of year are beyond words.

Dinner was delicious (Prime Rib), the toasts were a riot, the dancing was definitely funky, the photobooth was churning out some funnies, and the newlyweds couldn't have been happier with their day.

Flower Farm Inn Wedding - Loomis Wedding DJ

Jen and Patrick had their wedding Saturday at the Flower Farm in Loomis, CA, a gorgeous setting for an outdoor/indoor event.

Their ceremony was performed by Jen's best friend, Megan, who did a great job for a newly ordained, best friend, 8 months pregnant, bridesmaid officiant!!

Brenda from Asante Catering provided the great eats, and they were just itching to get the dancefloor as we swiftly moved through toasts and dessert.

One of my very fav photogs, Kim Martin was shooting everything, everywhere!

Best Wedding Cakes Sacramento


My wife Char recently launched her own Fine Dessert business, named 'Peace Love & Sugar.' If I didn't truly feel as if her creations were amazing, I wouldn't mention it. Let me tell you, her work is something else. It looks great, but more importantly, it tastes so darn good that I can't say no to her tasty cakes, french macarons, cake push-ups, and whatever else she dreams up.

If you are in need of a wedding or celebration cake, check her out at www.peaceloveandsugar.net, you'll dig it!

Old Sugar Mill Wedding - Sacramento Wedding Dj

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Holbin and Erica married this past Saturday at one of the coolest venues in NorCal, Old Sugar Mill.

I didn't meet them until 3 days before their wedding because they live in Hawaii. She has family ties here locally..and now he does too! What was cool was that their ceremony was in the gallery looking out toward the vineyards, and the windows were rolled up so it was very 'natural.'

We played Hawaiian music throughout dinner and cocktail hour, which was a very pleasant deviation. Their guests had a great time dancing to a huge variety of hits, and the night concluded with a group slow dance as a sendoff.

Our photobooth provided another fun source of entertainment for all.

Mahalo!
