The Knot Best of Weddings 2012

WOHOOOOOOO!   



Every Year a handful of DJ companies from each state are chosen for this honor and I'm thrilled to be one of them!

The reason why this honor means a lot to me is because a  majority of the consideration for this selection is based on reviews of my past couples.  I am so grateful for the time they took to write reviews and for their honest feedback.

The knot is a wedding website that assists thousands of brides and grooms to find the best vendors in the business today.  To be among those included the "Best of Weddings" category is absolutely amazing. We will continue in 2012 and beyond to give you our very best!

Cheers to 2012!!!

Happy Fall!

We hope you enjoyed your summer as much as we did! This summer has been our most busiest and we can't wait to work with more couples! Just because summer has come to an end and the weather is getting chilly, doesn't mean we are stopping :) The fall weather is perfect for weddings because of its beautiful and cozy scenery. We actually have just got back from an outdoor wedding last Saturday in Wisconsin (Congrats Dan + Kendra)! It was a tonnnnnn of fun! The couple had their wedding held at a beautiful and peaceful farm called Windbeam Farm located in Hager City, WI six miles from Red Wing, MN. The heated lamps were brought out in the evening and there was even a bonfire going on! Smores anyone?! This wedding was definitely unique and their family and friends were dancing allllll night long! We also got to work with the talented photographer himself, Spencer Combs, and the "killer caterers", Chow Girls! We will post pictures soon from the wedding :)

On Sept 17th, we got to be a part of Mark and Pauline's wedding at the sofitel hotel located in Bloomington, MN. Mark and Pauline have been a good friend of ours for quite some time, so we definitely were excited to provide the entertainment for their special night :) Congrats you two, and we wish you both many more years of love, peace, health and prosperity.

Adam & Belle

Congrats to the newlyweds Adam & Belle! Their wedding was absolutely filled with love! Their ceremony and reception were held at Mill City located in Minneapolis. Belle looked super stunning walking down that aisle, it was truly a breathtaking moment. After the ceremony was over, family and friends got to mingle around the court yard for cocktail hour. The weather was just perfect and you could tell guests couldn't wait for what was offered next!

The reception room was filled with pink and green decors: the table setup, the wedding cake, the up lighting, the party favors (only green and pink candies!), and many more-- the room definitely had the guests impressed. Did we mention they also had a caricature artist!?

Here are some pictures we took that night!

Your Reception

Imagine seeing you and your honey's name elegantly lit up across the wall at your reception along with the ambiance of your theme colors glowing all around the room. With addition to music that will set just the right mood, your guests will walk in with "oohs" and "ahhs" and will be talking about it allllll night.

Your reception's atmosphere should be something you can fully customize so that it is truly unique and not like any other weddings your friends or family have been to. Whether you want to keep it simple or really knock your guests shoes off (!!!) will all be up to you.

We provide many services from gobo lighting (names on floor, ceiling, wall, anywhere you'd like!), full up lighting (the pretty colors that sets your room), head table up lighting (specifically behind you + bridal party) screen + projector, and........ if you have any other wants, please just let us know. We are very flexible and will work with you to fulfill your needs.

Remember, your reception is a time for celebration. Make your reception one-of-a-kind, lively, and unforgettable.

Insurance


 We understand the importance of maintaining insurance coverage. Many venues won’t even allow a DJ to perform at their location without proof of coverage. And of course, we need to make sure that our customers are assuredly compensated if a situation were to arise. One has never occurred so far, but we like to make sure that our clients know that there is ZERO RISK of loss of finances if you contract us!
So we’re please to announce that we’ve just renewed coverage for another year through RV Nuccio and Associates, a prestigious well-known insurance firm that specializes in coverage for professional mobile entertainers. Rest assured, everyone. You’re safe with us!
Happy Thursday Everybody!
