Wedding DJ Photos

When it comes to weddings, some say fall is the “new summer.” Can’t argue that point, as October was my busiest month for the 2021 wedding season! Kayla and Bryant’s reception at Turning Stone Resort Casino was the first of three consecutive wedding weekends on my calendar.

Angela and Aaron’s 50s-themed wedding brought me back to the historic Lincklaen House in the charming village of Cazenovia! The weather almost forced some drastic last-minute changes, but some extremely good luck saved the day. Find out what happened and check out the song choices and photos in this blog post.

Are you annoyed when people show up late for a wedding? Well, this time, it was both acceptable and planned — everyone showed up exactly one year late for Karina and Eric’s wedding at the picturesque Hayloft on the Arch in Vernon Center. Check out the full blog post for photos, song choices and more!

After the pandemic forced Kiarra and Chris to postpone their wedding reception for 14 months — and find a new venue in the process — family and friends finally had the chance to celebrate at Camp Brockway, a rustic venue tucked away in its own little section of Pratt’s Falls County Park, just a few miles south of Manlius.

Wedding #2 for the 2021 wedding season is in the books! I’m so glad Katie and Brett finally had their chance to say the vows and celebrate the next big chapter in their lives, even if world events delayed the plans by nearly a year. But the wait was well worth it, as guests enjoyed partying the night away at Traditions at the Links in East Syracuse.

IT’S SO GREAT TO BE BACK! Back to weddings, weddings with dance floors, back to Skaneateles, back to The Sherwood Inn! Can you tell I’m happy?? After just one wedding during the insanely crazy 2020, it was soooo nice to finally kick off my 2021 wedding season. Check out the photos and song choices in this post!

Of all my 2020 wedding DJ bookings, most still haven’t happened yet! When the pandemic forced most couples to delay their 2020 weddings into 2021, Joe and Lauren kept their October date with the Craftsman Inn and Suites in Fayetteville. Thankfully, we were no longer under “lockdown” by this point, but significant restrictions were still in place.

My final wedding of 2019 brought me to a venue that’s not just “new to me” but new to many — The Cannery in Vernon. Molly and Frank put together a very well-appointed ceremony and reception which fit nicely into the weekend between Christmas and New Year’s.

When her mom first contacted me about this event, I learned Ke’haulani (“KK” for short) and Zachary have already married for about a year. But, living in Alaska, it was easier to have the two of them come “back home” to Central New York rather than having all the guests head northwest. So, we did an entire wedding celebration — ceremony included — at one of the Utica area’s most popular venues, Hart’s Hill Inn.

Sarah and Andy’s wedding reception brought me back to a venue I haven’t seen in a few years: Daniele at Valley View in Utica. It’s always nice to see what’s new and different in the city where I got my start as a radio DJ years ago. There was one change in Utica which took me completely by surprise — I’ll explain in today’s blog post. And as usual, some photos from the DJ booth and the happy couple’s selections for the key moments of the night.
