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.

Grand Island Mansion Wedding - Sacramento Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Saturday was a blast! Paula and Phil married at Grand Island Mansion, and we partied!

They had a sweet ceremony in the downstairs ballroom, and were center stage for all to photograph! Speaking of photos, Phil's brother Brian Gross and his assistant, Tiffany Green were on hand capturing every special moment.

Dinner was upstairs, and after about an hour, they were invited back downstairs for toasting, dessert, and the party. We had cool tunes chosen for the Grand Intros, had some sweet toasts, and the cupcakes were amazing!

Their guests were energized and ready to dance. Song of the night was 'Gangnum Style!'

Wine and Roses Wedding - Lodi Wedding DJ

Sacramento Wedding DJ

Serena and Tim are literally the perfect pair. They have known each other for nearly their whole lives, and it was just a matter of time...and life....that brought them together romantically.

Last weekend, I played at their wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi, CA and it was fabulous!

Their ceremony was outdoors, as was their cocktail hour. Waiting in the ballroom was a stunning room full of gold linens, amazing tall centerpieces, our amber uplighting and our fun photobooth.

Jessica from Stout Photography was rockin' the photos (as always!), and Matt from Matthew David Cinema was capturing every cinematic moment.

What was really quite funny was that after the Grand Introduction, Tim and Serena danced to their first dance as husband and wife, and after about one minute of Brad Paisley's, 'Then,' they busted out into 'Baby Got Back.' The guests went absolutely wild. That set the stage for what was an energy filled night with my trademark full dancefloor!!

We all had a great time.

Citizen Hotel Wedding - Sacramento Wedding Dj

Sacramento Wedding DJ


Katie and David married last weekend at the Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento, and it went great!

Guests entered the ballroom at 5:00pm, and we proceeded to MC the Grand Introductions which led us right into their first dance, which was sung LIVE by their close friend. He sang Adam Sandler's, 'I want to grow old with you.' Both of their Dad's welcomed guests, and a fantastic dinner was served.

As you can see by the photo above, Katie and David asked for our Couture Lighting Package, which allowed us to place a lit pattern on the dancefloor, light the entire canopy, uplight the perimeter and spotlight important facets of the room. I loved how it looked, and they were 'Wow'd' by it!! Professional photos to follow by the incomparable Jessica from Stout Photography!!

We had a full dancefloor all night long, and my lasting memory is going to be that we played 'Ghangnum Style' not once, but twice for them. It was rockin!!!
