Central New York Wedding DJ

My latest wedding took me a few miles north of Syracuse, to American Legion Post 787 in Cicero. Leanna and Justin hired me to provide sound for their outdoor ceremony, then music, lighting and emcee duties for the reception, which immediately followed inside the Post’s spacious banquet room. As you’ll see from the photos, the crowd had a great time and the dance floor was filled right through the end of the night! (more…)

Every wedding season, I love that I seem to get a combination of weddings at venues where I’ve been before, and some at venues which are new to me. While I’ve heard of MKJ Farm in Deansboro, I’ve never been there until Rina and Jeffrey’s wedding last weekend. What a picture-perfect place for both a ceremony and a reception! And we couldn’t have asked for better weather — clear, sunny skies and perfect temperatures. (more…)

My second wedding of the 2014 wedding season took me back to the very first venue where I’ve ever disc jockeyed a wedding reception — Dibble’s Inn in Verona.  It was great to come back to Dibble’s to help Kelly and Nicholas celebrate their ceremony and reception.  The weather was perfect and the crowd was awesome!

My 2014 wedding season is underway! Last night was my first reception of the year, at the Stonebridge Golf and Country Club, southeast of Utica. Because Lindsey and John got married a few weeks earlier in Jamaica, this was their reception for their friends and family “back home” here in Central New York. (And it was my first chance to try out a few new “toys” that I added to my setup during the off-season!) (more…)

Bethany and Andy’s wedding reception was among the highlights of the 2013 wedding season for me… not to “play favorites” among my customers, but I’ve known Bethany and her family since she, her brothers and I were all in the same elementary school (Go, Stokes Eagles!), so it was an honor to DJ this reception, and it was great to catch-up with friends and neighbors “from back home,” some of whom I literally haven’t seen since high school.

Even though I’ve been doing weddings for quite some time now, it’s always neat to add new venues to the list of places where I’ve performed. The Emerson Park Pavilion, along the shore of Owasco Lake in Auburn, provided a historic and classy location for Leanna and Peter Underwood’s wedding ceremony and reception. And although the skies looked questionable, we were very lucky that the weather cooperated just long enough for the ceremony to take place outdoors as planned. (more…)

For the second year in a row, the final weekend of September finds me at one of the beautiful facilities operated by Onondaga County Parks. Last year, it was Pratt’s Falls — this year, I had the pleasure of DJ’ing Ashleigh and Sean’s wedding ceremony and reception at Arrowhead Lodge, part of Oneida Shores Park in Brewerton. (more…)

Jessica and Gary’s wedding reception at the beautiful Genesee Grande Ballroom inside the Collegian Hotel and Suites in downtown Syracuse was a blast! The evening was packed full of memories that friends and family — including some who traveled thousands of miles from South America — will enjoy for years to come. (more…)

Before this summer, I hadn’t been to Hamilton in several years — but Allison and Jason’s reception at the Colgate Inn provided me the chance to visit this charming village twice in the same summer (the other time being a June reception at another venue nearby).   (more…)

Josh and Annie tied the knot — literally — at The Red Mill Inn in Baldwinsville. Yes, literally — turns out, there’s an interesting story behind the phrase, “tie the knot.” And it has a bit of a connection to the place where Josh asked Annie for her hand in marriage. (more…)
