Sharon and Nathan’s Knowlton Mansion Wedding

I am very grateful to get the opportunity to work with so many awesome people – weekend after weekend – just like Sharon and Nathan, the bride and groom from this wedding. Sharon and Nathan were laid back and their primary concern was with making sure that their friends and family had a great time at their wedding reception. At our wrap up meeting just prior to the wedding, we spent a lot of time going over the music for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. We sat together for a while just listening to music and looking for the perfect grand entrance, cake cutting, and parent dance songs. The best part of my job is getting to know my clients and share in their excitement for their big day, and sitting down with them face to face really gives me the chance to do just that.

This wedding was a lot of fun to be a part of as the Wedding DJ, and the energy of the bride, groom and all their guests was contagious. I have worked with some brides and grooms in the past that sometime worry that not many guests will dance, because they are shy or just not big dancers – when I hear that I always smile, because most times these couples underestimate their guests. People do not get all dressed up in their fancy suits or dresses to just sit at their table and listen to music; they came to have a great time and because they love you and want to celebrate your special day with you. I feel it is up to me to make sure I create that fun, relaxed environment to allow people to let loose and party hard. Now of course the bartender always helps us out, we will never deny that, and once the party begins it’s the DJ that makes sure all of the guests are out there, whether they are dancing, singing along, or just clapping their hands off to the side, I know they’re having a good time. In my opinion, once the party is over – and days, weeks, months and even years go by, you may forget what you ate, you may forget what you wore, there is even a good chance you may forget what kind of music we played, but you should always be able to remember the great time you had.

As always I enjoyed working with Tiffany from Tiffany Atlas Wedding Photography, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. She is very talented and was great to work alongside with. Thank you for letting me feature these images for the readers of our blog to see. As always, the staff at Knowlton Mansion and Conroy Catering did an outstanding job. The entire staff there is amazing and I enjoy working with them. And of course, it is pretty easy to have a good party when you are working with a great couple like Sharon and Nathan. Thank you again for having us be a part of your wedding day, it was my pleasure to be your Wedding DJ!
