This is the new pipe and drape set I have. Perfect for a backdrop of a Sweetheart Table.

It rained all day for set up. About 30 minutes before the scheduled ceremony, it stopped and we were dying 200 chairs! (We had a back up set just in case)
It was an absolute pleasure working with the new Mr & Mrs Wilson over the last several months.

When it comes to hiring a DJ for your wedding... experience matters!
With Nearly 30 years in the wedding business, I've got that covered.

Just because you can afford to spend a small fortune, doesn't mean you have to and I've struggled to balance what I'm worth, with treating couples fairly and keeping up with the industry whose prices rise faster than I can keep up with.

I don't have special packages... I bring what I need to give my best to you... I don't charge extra if you want lights ... I don't charge extra if you need extra speakers... etc. There might be a travel charge depending on how far you would like me to travel.

The basic package... is the same as my Premium package because I won't do a better job if you pay me more. I give my all to every event.

*A one-on-one meeting before your event to make sure the reception is personalized to your tastes
*Over 65,000 songs to handle requests from your guests with more added each week
*Appropriate, Tasteful, and Edited Music
*Modern Equipment with a clean, classy look to my workstation with a clean, classy look to my work station
*Fun Crowd Interactions to keep your guests involved as needed
*Coordination between photographers, videographers, caterers, etc.
*Modern Dance Floor Lighting display
*Up to 6 hours of Music
*MC work (Announcing of the Wedding party, Calling Tables for dinner..etc)
*Wireless Microphones for speeches, blessings etc.
*Ceremonial Dances

If your ceremony is onsite, these services are provided at no additional cost.
*Microphone for the officiant. High-quality microphone(s) pick up audio for the entire ceremony.
*Quality sound so all guests can hear the ceremony.
*Music before the ceremony begins (if you want), processional, and recessional music.
*Additional Microphones for readings, songs, etc. mid-ceremony if needed
*Ability to go to remote locations onsite without power

All for only $1500.

The venue was the Abraham Lincoln Lodge in Webster. Yes, it rained some. Yes, we had to do a lot of last minute chair wiping and moving of some tables. The bride and groom were absolutely lovely though and I'm so honored to have been a part of the day!
