Dj In Erie, Pennsylvania - Wedding reception DJ - www.djhenrygq.com

This week I was in Conneaut Lake Park! I traveled down from Erie, Pa  to the park to rock a wedding, I had tons of fun with this one!
Now these peopel are not your typical 21,22, or 25 yr old couple that get married, they were in their 30s and have been together forever and even had children =]
They decided to finally make it magical by having their ceremony right on the dock of the park and the reception in the hall over looking the lake
So lets start with the ceremony over on the dock, if you want that "wow" factor.. this is the place! why not I mean its over looking the lake? sooo beautiful! so my job here was to set up the sound for that so the pastor can work his magic and join these 2 beautiful people in matrimony. the weather was beautiful! the lake was calm! everything was working in their favor! but wow.. was it extremely hot! sweating form the time i set up till the time I tore down all my sound equipment!

Next up was the reception with equally beautiful views I think many, many people were happy! the staff was accommodating and the food was excellent! I actually had the chance to take some home, since I dont like eating in front of everyone. We went thru all the traditional moments except the garter and bouquet toss, father/daughter dance. But everything else was great! all the friends and family danced the night away. I almost stayed the night was so tired.

Did I tell the bride looked beautiful? yes.. I'm sure her husband is very happy now :)

DJ Henry GQ - www.djhenrygq.com - Erie Wedding DJ

Ok,
So I was the DJ at a wedding this past Saturday for 2 special ladies! yes... 2 females. They got hitched in NY and had their reception on the beach, right off of Beach 1 at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania

But let me first start by saying that I was in a recent accident, I was boating with a friend of mine lost my balance and fell off the boat and hit the cleat(its the metal part that you tie the rope to anchor the boat to the dock) well I tried catching myself and landed on that, split my foot wide open and put 12 stitches in it! OUCH! what a great way to end my 4th of July!! lol. So it was no fun running thru the sand setting everything up! but I still had a job to do and nothing was gonna detour from that!

So the wedding went very well! started off playing some jazz for the cocktail hour, and then lead right into dinner hour with the classics(frank sinatra, dean martin, michael buble) you know.. the greats! I even had one of the brides recommend some great music that served its purpose for dinner music as well! [Booty swing - Parov Stellar] wow! what great music! you have to look it up! I cant wait to get more of this stuff! Anyways.. after that I went into some great blues that a friend suggested that I get and wow that went over so well! so many blues lovers there! it wasnt your typical blues either, it was upbeat and fun, PLUS I did a great job at picking the right ones! now during the blues music, the dad came out with some floating lanterns, and asked everyone to come and light them up and have them sail away! so cool. gonna do this at the end of my reception!!!

On to the rest of the night, after the cake cutting.. I went right into some great disco music! had the dance floor packed, or should I say beach floor(hahaha) and kicked the rest of the night away with some great current music liek Florida, Jennifer Lopez, Usher and Pitbull. just some great wedding dance music!

Now.. they didnt do the traditional stuff like the Father/Daughter Mother/Son dance, and thats fine.. thats their choice. i dont push the issue with any of clients.. they dont want to do a certain formality.. fine. does it take away from the whole experience.. sure. but not my call :)

So they did the cutting of the cake, I was super happy that al least did that! and I think they really enjoyed it! after thinking about it!

I didnt get too many pics because they asked not too, some people dont mind.. and some people do! I will post what i have and hope everyone enjoyed this little blog about my wedding experience!
