Crocker Art Museum Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

I suppose with any profession, there are certain events that stand out. Well, to be completely truthful, this for me was one of those! I was hired by Drew and Margo about 12 months prior to their wedding last Saturday, and was itchin' to go about 2 months ago for a variety of reasons, which I will explain below.

This was my first wedding at The Crocker in downtown Sacramento, and I was eager to play there, as it's a premiere venue in the area. Even the 106 degree heat didn't deter me from wanting to give it my best.

Aimee from 2Chic was the planner, and I have to give credit where it's due. She and her team not only planned with the couple along the way, helping them with color schemes, linens, dessert choices, wine pairings and more, but their execution on wedding day was superb. It was the perfect wedding.

Stefania from Atmosphere Lights lit it up with an array of colors which matched their theme perfectly, and patterned the ceiling in a pattern and color that was so eye-catching, guests were constantly pointing upwards to it. It set the mood for elegance to say the least.

Jessica from Stout Photography (see photo above) was shooting, and I simply can't wait to see her final work from the night. She and her assistant were setting up shots/lights/etc and I know it's going to be amazing!

Drew and Margo were married in the ballroom, which is dark, rich and moody! Cocktail hour took place outdoors in the courtyard where Magpie Catering served up some tasty apps that guests were in love with.

Our photobooth was shooting all evening long, with constant activity around it.

I introduced the wedding party and newlyweds to custom introductions, as written by the newlyweds themselves. Dinner followed, toasting took place, desserts, then....partying!

We had a party for the ages, I mean, they danced, they sweat, they yelled, they laughed...all the way until the last dance....where even Aimee and her team...and the Crocker team joined on the dancefloor!!

This was perfection....

Granite Bay Country Club Wedding - Granite Bay Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ Last Saturday evening, I played for Jake and Shelly (friends of mine) at the Granite Bay Country Club. There is always a bit bit of added pressure when working for your friends, so I arrived as ready as possible. Jake and Shelly aren't necessarily 'spotlight' people, but they really shined on this evening! They had a really nice ceremony, they had 185 eager, well-dressed guests with great energy, and a venue that excels in service and beauty. Jessica from Stout Photography took some amazing photos (I checked out her camera!). Their Grand Introduction was unique in that Jake's family, of Assyrian ascent, danced around them as an act of celebration. They settled in for some fine dining, and as we approached toasting, there were plenty of people ready to speak. I really enjoyed the personal stories shared during toasts, especially from their Dads. We made it to the dancefloor, and I say it over and over, but we just rocked it all night long, until 12:30am! They never let up, ever. Such an awesome evening! Visit us at www.sjsdiscjockey.com

Monte Verde Inn Weddings - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

I love back-to-back Monte Verde Inn weddings!!

Although the weather challenged us a bit, we overcame it and had two outstanding events in Foresthill, CA. It began Saturday with Robert and Kelly, who had great decor, great plans and about 125 guests who, when we went in the ballroom for dancing, just tore it up for 2.5 hours!

Kelly and Doug (the owners of the Inn), served a fantastic dinner, and I wish I had a photo of the cake, but it matched Kelly's wedding dress perfectly!!!

It was a really special night!


Onto Sunday now!

Kevin and Suzanne Borja had close friends and family surround them for what was a very touching ceremony, followed by cocktail hour and yet another high quality meal!

They had some amazing toasts by their family members and wedding party, and it was a complete destination wedding, as most of the guests were from either New York....or Spain!

This six hour affair also featured about 2.5 hours of danceparty, where I got to mix up American hits along with Latin hits. They really had a great time until we called it quits at 10:00pm.

Congrats to them all...

Kevin and Sarah - Monte Verde Inn Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ I just got home from a really fun evening wedding at Monte Verde Inn in Foresthill, CA. I wish I had photos of their details to share, as the flowers were stunning, the tablescapes amazing and the bride gorgeous. I am sure Jessica from Stout Photography will be posting soon, she is so phenomenal! Their first dance was 'The way you look tonight' by Steve Tyrell, and once the formal dances concluded we invited all married couples to join in for an Anniversary dance. Our longest married couple was 40 years! Great example! We danced and partiedmfor almost three hours, and did a Grand Exit on front of the Inn to say goodbye to the newlyweds!

Old Sugar Mill Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ I can never play at Old Sugar Mill too often!! Saturday night was some raging party for Matt and Kelli. They married in the barrel room, and when Kelli entered, jaws dropped, tears flew and emotions were vivid. She looked stunning, and Matt was quite emotional. Rev. Ben presided over a very nice ceremony, and once pronounced husband and wide, they cruised back out to Sugarlands', "Stuck Like Glue." I placed 16 amber uplights in the gallery, turned the sconces off and dimmed the house lights, and it looked stunning! Jackson Catering offered a high quality buffet featuring corn fed beef with all the fixins'. It was really delicious and their staff was outstanding. Toasting and cake cutting led us into dancing, and I know I always seem to say this, but we rocked the danceparty solid until 11:30. They were a crowd that I wish could come to every wedding I play at! Visit us at www.sjsdiscjockey.com

Foresthill Wedding DJ - Forest House Wedding

Sacramento Wedding DJ Maddie and Dan married Friday night at the Forest House Lodge. They were the first couple in all of my years who chose not to do a first dance! They are a bit shy and not 'Spotlight' people. So, as we progressed through a really tasty family style dinner, toasts that were thoughtful and funny, and a cake cutting ceremony that was as sweet as the cake itself, I opened the dancefloor in our less than traditional fashion. Although Dan and Maddie didn't dance at all on this evening, their guests partied with me until we moved the party into the bar! The newlyweds made sure to swing over and compliment my job well done, and expressed the joy in seeing their guests dance the night away! Everyone sung their lungs out to 'Don't stop believin' and the lights came up! Visit us at www.sjsdiscjockey.com

Sun City Roseville Wedding - Roseville Wedding Dj

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Saturday night was the danceparty of the year!!!! I am not lyin'.

Timber Creek Lodge in Roseville was glowing in purple, courtesy of our LED uplights in the ballroom. Our Group-Style photobooth had a crowd around it all night long, and from what I heard, there was very little liquor left at the hosted bars!

Fahm and Xahmeng were married in the outdoor courtyard in perfect early evening weather, every guest seat was filled, and I must say that she looked stunning.

Guests moved indoors for cocktail hour and as I eventually introduced the wedding party and newlyweds into the reception, they all wore their sunglasses and danced their way to the stage. Dinner followed, and as they were visiting their guests tableside, their guests were cheering them at every turn, all unrehearsed! I just knew that we were gonna rock the house later!!

We made it to the dancefloor, proceeded through our formal dances, and opened it up to 'The Cupid Shuffle.' Sun City has an unusally large dancefloor, and we had 75% of their guests on the floor shuffling away. Joking aside, I had a packed floor all night long, literally. This is exactly what I live for, it was amazing.

Fahm and Xahmeng couldn't have been happier as they wrapped up the evening to "From This Moment."
