Elise and Ryan's wedding day will probably stick out in my memories of the 2016 wedding season for breaking two records: longest distance traveled and hottest wedding day of the year. Now, I realize those might sound like complaints, but to the contrary! It was beautiful day for a drive to Hancock, where one can […]
One of the best things about the Syracuse area is that there's a vibrant city life, but you don't have to drive too far to get "out to the country." And when it comes to getting married in a country setting with a beautiful view for miles around, it's tough to beat the Skyline Lodge […]
What a busy wedding season! Although I usually try to give myself one weekend off per month, I somehow managed to let myself book all four weekends in August... so that explains why I'm a little behind on my blogging. In any event, the first weekend in August brought me back to a familiar venue, […]
Kate and Brendan are an amazing couple and put together a wonderful wedding at one of Syracuse's newest venues, SKY Armory. Although I've heard plenty of buzz about the venue since it opened, this was my first opportunity to visit SKY Armory in person, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I'm pleased to say […]
With over 300 people, Brandi and Dan's wedding at a private residence (her parents') in Madison was one of the largest weddings I've played. A giant party tent had room for over 20 guest tables, a large dance floor, three bars (saving guests from long walks or long lines), a photobooth and more. When it […]
In the few years since I've moved from Syracuse to Fayetteville, I've had Green Lakes State Park practically in my backyard, but never realized its potential as a wedding venue... until now! It's all thanks to Mackenzie and Jeremy, who held their ceremony and reception at the park's Old Administration Building. If you've been to […]
What's old is new again. Finally, that saying rings true for the former Hotel Syracuse. Now the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, it has new life after $70 million in renovations. This past weekend, more than a thousand attended "Forever Hotel Syracuse: A Historic Gala." The fundraiser for the Onondaga Historical Association provided a first look at […]
You can tell wedding season is getting busy when I start to fall behind on my blogging! In what seems like just the blink of an eye, it's already been nearly two weeks since Stephanie and Joshua tied the knot at The Beeches in Rome. Although I've played receptions at The Beeches in the past, […]
After a few weddings followed by some time traveling with family, it was exciting to resume the 2016 wedding season with Clare and James at the Cross Lake Inn and Marina in Cato. We couldn't have asked for better weather for a reception that featured the bride, groom and the entire wedding party arriving by […]
My latest wedding takes me to a venue where I've been an event guest a time or two, but not yet a DJ -- the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center. Sarah and Bernard are an amazing couple who put on a spectacular party for their family and friends! Check out the blog post […]
