Wedding: Kenzie and Adam at Springside Inn, Auburn, 7/22/23

Kenzie and Adam had an incredible reception at the Springside Inn. Such great families and friends, all coming together for an unforgettable celebration! Check out the song choices, photos and more in today's blog post.

This was my second wedding at the Springside Inn, located just south of the City of Auburn, not too far from the northern end of Owasco Lake. Obscure trivia: my first wedding there was last year, making the Springside Inn the only venue on my wedding DJ schedules both for 2022 and 2023.

The Springside's ballroom somehow feels both roomy and cozy at the same time. For this wedding, I was on the "stage" at one end of the room. For my previous wedding, the newlyweds had their sweetheart table on the stage, and I was off to the side. Both setups allow me to place the speakers in roughly the same spots, so the sound carries through the entire room without any problems.

Kenzie and Adam's Key Song Choices

  • Wedding party intros: Betty Who / I Love You Always Forever
  • First Dance: Michael Bublé / L.O.V.E.
  • Father / Bride Dance: Paul Simon / Father and Daughter
  • Groom / Mother Dance: James Taylor / How Sweet It Is
  • Opening Dance Floor Song: Stephen Sanchez / Until I Found You
  • Last Dance of the Night: Natalie Cole / This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)

Kenzie and Adam had a live string quartet for their ceremony, which was held offsite. The quartet then came over to the Springside Inn to play during cocktail hour, which took place in the area just outside of the ballroom. When it was time to open the ballroom doors, the string quartet wrapped up and I took over for the rest of the evening.

This was a great crowd, and adding some icing to the cake, Kenzie promptly posted this incredible 5-star review!

Peter was OUTSTANDING. He is one of the most professional people I've ever encountered, period. From the moment my husband and I contacted him until our last dance on our wedding night, Peter was communicative, highly organized, responsive, kind, and thought of details I never would have even considered. Working with him was thoroughly enjoyable. Throughout the entire planning process, Peter honored mine and my husband's wishes with the utmost enthusiasm.
Peter, thank you for setting a beautiful, special, and fun tone for our wedding. You brought the perfect energy to the proceedings and I cannot recommend your services enough!

Kenzie and Adam, thank you so much for that spectacular review! Thank you (as well as Kenzie's mom) for choosing me as your DJ -- I had a great time, and I'm so glad you both did, too. All my best to you both for many years of love and happiness together!

Peter was extraordinarily organized (which was so helpful as a Type-A bride). He kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend him to any couples who are considering a DJ for their wedding.
