Lauren and Martin

Every wedding is different. They each seem to have a life of their own. They unfold before us, sometimes just as you expect, and other times unexpected situations pop up. It is the unexpected situations that I love the most as a DJ. At Lauren and Martin's wedding at the Mendenhall Inn an unexpected situation popped up, but it was a good one.

Lauren and Martin were the quintessential bride and groom. They wanted to dance! And so did their friends. From the second the last meal was served, until the end of the night, their close friends were glued to the dance floor.



Now, Lauren and Martin knew what they wanted. First, they wanted a wow effect in the room. So as you can see from the pictures, up lighting in blue, dance floor wash in amber and a monogram to top it off, gave them the wow factor they were going for. The room really looked elegant. But, there were some things that needed to be addressed to get the room to look this way. Thanks to our Project Manager, Michael, we got all of the calculations we needed, lined up with the right fixtures in the right places to get the room looking the right way. All of our clients work with a project manager when they contract with us.



The Mendenhall Inn is a great place to get to married. The staff is so easy to work with and they serve dinner in a way that allows you and your guests the most amount of time for dancing. I love that.



We also were able to work with Marc from Marc Anthony Photography. Marc took some great pictures and was just so much fun to work with. I have worked with him quite a few times and we always have a good time. Thanks for the pictures Marc!




From there, Lauren really wanted to get people to dance. And she was trusting enough to leave most of the programming up to me. And boy did I get creative. Songs such as “Regulators,”
“Good vibrations,” and “Call On Me,” were played. In fact, as the night went on, the R&B of the late 90’s started to be the music of choice for Martin and his group of friends. It was amazing to see the groomsmen dance to “Billie Jean!”So you might ask what was so unexpected about this wedding. Well, it was the bride and groom. Very rarely do I ever see my bride AND groom on the dance floor at the same time for the WHOLE night. Lauren and Martin did just that. They danced to almost every song and that was so great to see!







Thanks for letting me spin for your family and friends Lauren and Martin. I had a great time.
