Wedding DJ Lincoln, CA - Catta Verdera Wedding

Sacramento Wedding DJ

This past Saturday, I played my first wedding at Catta Verdera in Lincoln. It is quite a stunning venue!

Nicole and Mike Best invited about 100 guests to enjoy their wedding with them, and they enjoyed themselves to the fullest!

Andrea Bucheli was on hand shooting their photos (she's really fun to work with!), and Jeri Murphy masterfully officated their ceremony.

Cocktail hour took place on the patio, overlooking the gorgeous golf course. Dinner was served in their ballroom, and Catta Verdera serves a fabulous 4-course meal!

We toasts, had dessert and danced the night away, and had a blast doing so!

Stephanie & Raegan - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Last night was as action packed as I've seen a wedding be!

Stephanie & Raegan married after being together for 15 years, and they had so many layers to their day, we had to keep a close eye on the timeline to make sure everything was perfect. And, it was!

I worked alongside Jennifer and Rick Tan, our officiates and ceremony musicians, Cinecrown Photo & Video, and the team from Courtyard D Oro in Old Sacramento. We had a really nice ceremony in the courtyard, followed by cocktail hour, which featured cocktails, appetizers and a photobooth.

Guests were invited indoors for a 5 course dinner, and the evening went like this...

I introduced the wedding party and newlyweds to cool intro tunes. They had family members MC their family introductions, we went directly into toasting, I had some fun handling a centerpiece giveaway activity, the newlyweds waltzed to their first dance, we projected a slideshow that I had created for them, dinner continued, we showed a second slideshow from CineCrown, I opened up the dancefloor, and packed it...they cut their cake, we handled the bouquet and garter fun, and a serious surprise was that CineCrown produced a same-day wedding video that I projected, and it took guests' breath away.

It was a full, fun evening!

Arden Hills Country Club Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Just last night, I played for a wild one at Arden Hills Country Club in Sacramento.

Firstly, I knew this wedding was gonna be a barnbuner, as everything about my meeting with Danette (our bride), hinted at. They had my photobooth reserved, amber uplights in the ceremony site and reception ballroom, and my DJ service in both areas.

As I was setting up, I saw Danette arrive and was told she was incredibly sick....:( Apparently, she had a nasty flu, and had been in the hospital the day before getting fluids pumped into her. I tell ya', she was a trooper on wedding day. She had a smile on her face, and you wouldn't have known how terrible she felt.

Their ceremony was short and sweet, and we moved into the Heritage Room for cocktail hour. I have played there many times, and the energy from this group confirmed my knowledge that this was gonna rock!

Our Grand Entrance was loud and well received, dinner was really good (Chicken and Blackened Steak), toasts were emotional and well spoken, and then the party was on!

They danced non-stop for 2+ hours, the photobooth was packed all night long, and Danette survived! Congrats to her and Chris.

The above, 'Action Shot,' was shot by Andrea from Chris Kight Photography.

Sacramento Wedding DJ - Citizen Hotel Wedding

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Just this past Saturday, I played for Heidi and Justin at the stunning Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento.

Their music involvement made this wedding a unique joy for me, as their eclectic tastes made it interesting, fun and their own. Love that.

They were married in the ballroom on the first floor, and Martha from Blooms by Martha beautified that room with decor that was beyond my (lack of) explanation.

Cocktail hour was in Scandal's Lounge, and upstairs in the Metropolitan Terrace, our photobooth and a Sinatra inspired set of dinner music awaited.

We introduced their wedding party to some funky T.I. selections and the energy was on! Dinner ensued, and when the toasts were complete, the dessert bar was attacked by their guests! There were at least ten sweet creations, from French Macarons to pear crisps to canoles and more. I am guilty of sneaking a couple for myself, and they were heaven!

We then danced solid for two hours, and their guests never left the dancefloor. Once the music ended, their guests just hung out, joked, laughed, hugged and just didn't want and end. So, the afterparty was conveniently downstairs!

Allison + Anthony - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

This past Saturday was a great way to start off 2013!

There's nothing better than working with quality vendors, so let's start there...our event planner was the meticulous Kate Miller, our expert photogs were Geoffrey and Lisa from The Goodness and the ceremony and reception were at the stunning, Citizen Hotel.

Now, the couple! Anthony and Allison are a wonderfully classy, cool couple. Not much for the spotlight, they wanted their wedding to minimize the 'center of attention' and make everyone the focus.

They married on the 7th floor Metropolitan Terrace Room, and with uplights, candles strategically placed, the florals meticulously arranged and the lights dimmed, the mood was set for a romantic ceremony.

Guests moved into Scandal's Lounge for cocktail hour, then were invited back to the Metro Terrace for dinner, which Kate Miller designed to be sparkly, stunning and full of class.

As dinner concluded, we witnessed three 'quality' toasts and moved to the Dessert Table, which was an incredibly impressive display of unique cakes and sweets ( I tried one, delish).

The first dance was to Louis Armstrong's, 'A Kiss To Build A Dream On,' and the entertainment highlight was when Anthony and Mom danced. To the guests' surprise, I introduced a bit of Mom/Son trivia! They were the 1999 'Twist' Champions of his last year in High School, so we watched them Twist to Chubby Checker! The crowd loved it!!

We had a great evening from that point forward, full of dancing, partying, cocktails and conversation. The afterparty was at The Grange.

Sleeptrain Holiday Party - Sacramento Corporate DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

I am fortunate to be able to be the Corporate DJ for one of my favorite companies, Sleeptrain Mattress Discounters.

I played at five of their holiday parties this season, and we had a ball! The parties were in Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, Portland and Seattle. I have been a part of hundreds of corporate events over the years, and I can tell you that the comradery amongst their staff is like none other I've witnessed. Each and every time an employee was granted a prize (which are incredibly generous), their peers cheered, hi-fived, slapped, etc. as they approached the winners podium. Such a cool thing to witness....

As dinners come to a close and after the endless prize giveaways and raffles, the dancing begins. Sleeptrain-ers know how to party! They get off!!!!

We had a great time, and I know they are having wonderful holidays.
