How do you show the essence of a wedding? Through music and visuals of course! And this is a good one! Rachael & Adam found us randomly on the web and proceeded to book us for their wedding at The Mansion at Ridley Creek about 25 miles outside Philadelphia. We handled the sound for their outdoor ceremony as well as the reception, and ROCKED IT! And as you’ll see in the video, Rachael, Adam, and their family and friends got SOUL!

Check out the visuals courtesy of the super nice husband & wife team at GmElliot Videography!

Congrats again Rachael & Adam!

I had SO MUCH fun playing Ed & Ruth’s barn wedding up in Maine at the Barn on Walnut Hill over Fourth of July weekend!  Great people, beautiful weather, stunning scenery, and LOBSTER LOBSTER LOBSTER!  (lobster every meal… no joke)  I worked with some talented folks from Corbin Gurkin Photography, Maine Season Events, and a really dope videographer by the name of Zach Boyce.

When Zach sent me the link about 2 weeks ago, I played it.  Then I played it again… and again… and again.  I’ve watched this at least 50 times over the past 2 weeks.  Zach captured the essence of the wedding so beautifully.  There is not much more to say other than… THIS IS  AMAZING!   Calling this a wedding video is a travesty.  It’s a friggin MOVIE!

Anyways, check it out.  It’s AWESOME!

And if you want a talented videographer to capture your big day, Zach is your dude!

And I’m not just saying it because I have a short cameo in the video movie.  :)

We’ve been getting a lot of requests from folks who want to see us in action before booking our services.  Totally understandable!  Now we can’t invite prospective clients to a wedding we’re spinning (you wouldn’t want complete strangers hanging out at your wedding, right?)  So we’ll give you the next best thing, a video clip us live in action!

I’m sure you can find plenty of wedding DJ promo clips, but I’ll bet you most of them are highly edited, polished videos with a lot of special effects (ie. slow motion), short scenes with fast cuts and a lot of close ups, and a nicely pre-mixed music track to complete the razzle dazzle.  What does that tell you about their party rocking skills? Absolutely nada.

We believe in marriage, truth, and dancing your socks off! So what we present to you is almost 20 all natural minutes of a wedding we did in Connecticut over the summer.  No video editing.  No sound fibbing.  No special effects (unless you count silly flashing texts).  100% organic & raw, worthy of approval from both your nutritionist and Ol Dirty Bastard. Enjoy!

Right before it got ICE COLD on the east coast (seemed like so long ago… brrr), I drove down and teamed up with DJ Mike to provide the soundtrack for Christine & Mike’s awesome wedding at the Hotel Palomar in Philly.  Wait, did I mention it was awesome?

Christine & Mike wanted a huge party and that’s what they got!  1 set of skyped in grandparents (impressive!), 2 hours of dancing, 3 entertaining toasts, and 110 songs later (that’s just the dancing part), it was a WRAP!  We captured so much good footage that I had to make a 4 minute edition (scroll to the bottom) in addition to the 2 minute time lapse video you see above capturing the essence of a smashing dance party!

AND we had the pleasure of meeting and working with some true wedding professionals:  Chill Weddings (hey christina!) and Our Labor of Love. Whitney (who makes a cameo in the video) and the team from OLOL were super nice and their smilebooth setup was so buttery smooth.  It was a beautiful sight to see in person!

Anyways, CONGRATS AGAIN CHRISTINE & MIKE! It was a blast!

Happy Friday!

Check out this time lapsed goodness I whipped up for my good friends Calvin and Eva. The wifey and I flew to Dallas for their celebration (I pulled triple duty as guest/DJ/emcee) on Halloween weekend and had a blast!  I loved that their wedding was an east meets west extravaganza; from the classically swaggerific first dance to the traditional chinese tea ceremony and the heartwarming bridal family serenade. And oh yeah, folks got BUSY on the dance floor!

Congratulations Calvin & Eva!

p.s.  I make a little cameo towards the end.  TAIGA!
