Another wonderful wedding to cap off the "unofficial" end to summer 2011. Zach and Alyssa got married over Labor Day weekend, and their reception at Orchard Vali Golf Club in LaFayette was a blast. Their guests love to dance -- keeping the floor filled right up to the end at 11:30pm. The crowd was so enthusiastic, we actually went a few minutes past with an extra encore song.
One of the "perks" of being a DJ is getting to see all sorts of new places around the area. For my latest DJ booking, I took a scenic drive from Syracuse up to Sodus Point, in Wayne County, specifically, to the Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club.
When you've got one of the hottest summers in recent memory, the only way to improve on a day at the beach... is to have a wedding there! Well, OK, it wasn't planned in that exact order, but everyone still had a blast celebrating Rose and Ken's wedding at Lake Delta State Park near Rome on July 23.
Had a great time helping Dawn and Joseph celebrate their wedding at The Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown! I haven't been to Cooperstown since 1996... while I remember driving past The Otesaga then, I've never actually been inside. Beautiful location, right on the lake. This reception was unique in that we had two different set-ups: one for the cocktail hour outside on the veranda, then we had to move indoors for the reception.
Hosting your wedding reception outdoors? An outdoor reception can be lots of fun, but it's impossible to know exactly what kind of weather your wedding day will bring -- especially when you start planning everything a year (or more) in advance. You can't just cancel or postpone everything due to rain. But with some planning, you can prevent bad weather from ruining your big day.
