Flower Farm Wedding - Loomis Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Kat and Alex waited until right before the Christmas Holiday to exchange their vows, in a very intimate setting at the Flower Farm Inn in Loomis.

Their guest list was 28 of their closest friends and family, and they sectioned off the barn with floor-to-ceiling hand sewed curtians, where the candlelit ceremony was to take place on one side, and the dinner reception on the other.

In our planning meeting, they expressed a possible concern that no one may dance, and that things may just end early. (I don't think so!!)

Their ceremony was perfection, I wish I knew who their caterer was, because the cocktail hour was filled with amazing passed Hors D Ouevres. We invited guests to the 'Other Side' for dinner, and they had one long dinner table dressed to the nines! Bread and salad service, a celery bisque was the next course, the entree was a New York Steak with a vegetable medley and red potatoes, the next course was the first dessert course, which was a fruit compote with whipped cream, and the finale was the wedding cake. It was first class, let me tell ya'.

Then came the dancing.....and for just 30 people, we rocked it for two solid hours! At one point, I laughed on the mic that Kat and Alex thought none of their guests would dance, and I was thrilled that they were proven wrong!! It was a great evening...

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.

Old Sugar Mill Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

This past Saturday, Janessa and Evan married at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, CA. It was a classic DIY wedding, with all the personal touches a couple could dream of. Hand written signs on chalkboards, a dresser with family photos on it, a seating chart hand scribed, a menu board...you get the hint! My favorite touch of the evening was the smores buffet! It was awesome!!

They married to a string quartet in the barrell room, and their guests mingled away during cocktail hour until we formally introduced Evan and Janessa as they joined. As we parted the ceiling high curtains to reveal the gallery to guests, there was a collective gasp at the beauty of the room, as there was simply on super long table for everyone to sit and enjoy dinner at. Mama Kim Cooks didn't let us down, dinner was absolutely delish!

Jessica Moores of Stout Photography, or should I say, the incredible Jessica Moores, was in charge of photography, and I'm quite sure that she captured some amazing stuff.....the sunset was to die for!

Dance, dance, dance! Regardless of the number of guests (about 60), they danced, sang and sweated it out for 2.5 hours on the dancefloor! It was a party that they won't be forgetting any time soon.

Great stuff!!

Forest House Lodge Wedding - Auburn Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

What a blast last night! Raychel is a Police Officer, Dallas is a CHP Officer, and together they are perfection.

They were married in the ballroom at FHL with the reception to follow. It didn't start to heat up until the toasts were delivered. You could feel the energy building right then!

Although things were moving along quite rapidly, the natives were getting restless, and wanted to get to dancing....what a shame for me! Between the combination of adult refreshments, a hunger to party and a super funky music list, it was non-stop until the party moved downstairs into the Lounge, which is way cool!

Best of luck to Dallas and Raychel.

Sleeptrain Holiday Party - Sacramento Corporate DJ

Sacramento Corporate DJ

Well, it's not just about wedding, it's also about corporate events!

I am fortunate enough to work for Sleeptrain Mattress Centers each year for their holiday parties, which are amazing. They are an employee owned company, and are amongst the happiest groups I have played for. That could be in part due to the fact that the prizes that are raffled off at these events are off the charts! Ipads, paid days off, trips around the world, etc!

They support some amazing causes, and are a company that is growing and is widely respected.

We are in San Diego today, next week brings Portland and Seattle....can't wait!
