Even though I've done a few weddings at Turning Stone Casino before, this was my first at the resort's Shenandoah Clubhouse, which is an entirely separate building from the main casino complex. The elegant building overlooking the golf course was a perfect backdrop for Natalie and Benjamin's big day!
My 2023 wedding season is underway! After the relatively mild winter we had, I don't think anyone was expecting waves of lake effect snow on Rachael and Jeffrey's mid-March wedding day. But if there's one place to watch the snow, it's from the huge windows of the Grand Ballroom on the 10th floor of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown!
My 2022 wedding season wrapped up with a return to a familiar venue, the Sherwood Inn, located in Skaneateles, across the street from the lake that bears the same name as the village. Although I've performed a handful of wedding receptions at the Sherwood Inn, this was my first couple who also held their ceremony on the property. Details inside this blog post!
Megan and Brycen couldn't have picked a nicer day to get married at such an amazing venue: it was my first time ever performing at Springside Inn, located along the western shore of Owasco Lake in Auburn. Inside this blog post, I've got photos, song selections and how I had to "MacGuyver" my way through part of the day.
Daniluk Farm and Stables is -- as the name implies -- primarily a farm that also provides stabling and other equestrian services. It's usually not a wedding venue, but when it's the owners who are getting married, exceptions can be made! Check out today's blog post for photos, song choices and more from Kim and Ben's wedding on the farm!
Another unforgettable celebration is in the books! Denise and Tom hired me to be their wedding DJ at The Eis House in Mexico, about 40 minutes north of Syracuse. This was a two-setup wedding, with an outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor reception. Check out the song selections and what made this wedding unique in today's blog post!
Springside Farm in Pompey was the perfect venue for Sherri and Brian's intimate wedding reception. You might know this farm along Route 91 for family fun in the fall and Christmas trees in the winter. But during the summer, the barn serves as a spacious rustic venue surrounded by fields of green.
Collecting RSVPs and creating a seating chart can be one of the most stressful, time-consuming parts of planning your wedding. Some couples wonder, "should we even bother? Why not let guests pick their own seats?" Read on -- there are actually several reasons why a seating chart is well worth the time and effort.
My first wedding DJ committment for 2022 was also my first ever at the Sinclair of Skaneateles. Although the wedding didn't cooperate with Sarah and Ryan's plans to get married outside, we all pivoted smoothly to "plan B" indoors and had a wonderful evening! Check out the blog post for photos, song choices and more.
One of the biggest events at F-M High School is the annual Dance Marathon to raise money for Camp Good Days and Special Times. As a parent of two (and soon to be three) kids in the F-M school district, it was an honor to be asked and a pleasure to donate my time to spin the tunes for the 2022 event! The thrill was even bigger when the final dollar total was announced...
