What a complete honor to DJ Nicole and Tyler’s wedding!  Nicole is a wedding planner and has heard every DJ in the area and chose me for her important day.

As I arrived to set up for the ceremony, I could hear Tyler & his Groomsmen skeet shooting on the Rose Hill grounds.  I set up next to the picturesque front porch, started the pre-ceremony music and the 150 guests arrived shortly.  After a short ceremony officiated by Tyler’s family’s long time friend and neighbor Reverend Sullivan, the guests made their way into the Manor House for the cocktail hour.

After the cocktail hour the guests made their way to the main ballroom next door for dinner and dancing.  After everyone had found their seats I introduced the wedding party and Nicole & Tyler came in for their first dance.  The wedding party then took their seats and Nicole danced with her Father and Tyler danced with his Sister in memory of his late Mother.  Nicole’s Father welcomed everyone and Reverend Johnny blessed the meal.  The salads and entrees came out and I played a mix of country and rock during dinner.

After dinner we had the cake cutting and toasts followed by the most special moment of the night.  Nicole’s Father sat down with his guitar and sang an original song for them called “Never Let Go”.  So great!!  It was hard to follow that, but I did my best opening the dance floor with “Brick House” and it soon packed with young and old.

We paused briefly for the bouquet and garter tosses, then back to dancing until the end of the night.  Nicole even had a special dance with her girlfriends to “Wanna Be”.  We ended the night with their last dance and a sparkler exit outside.

This was one of my favorite weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!

Thank you again
