It was a pleasure to be a part of Jon and Jenny’s wedding day. From the moment I met them, I was excited they made the decision to have me as their DJ / MC. Our personalities just seemed to click from the start. The wedding and reception took place at one of the Central Coast’s prime wedding venues, The Dana-Powers House. It houses spectacular gardens of roses and an array of other vibrantly colored flowers. The ceremony happened on the lawn adjacent to the beautiful and historic Victorian home. The couple and guests were surrounded by the lush green grass and gardens. Jon’s father played the piano while the mothers, bridesmaids and bride made their way to the gazebo to begin the ceremony. During the ceremony two of Jon’s groomsmen sang while playing their guitars. This was one of the most impressive ceremonies I have been a part of; there was such musical talent and everything just seemed to flow to perfection. Once the ceremony was over the guests were invited to the back patio area for cocktails and appetizers. When I met with Jon and Jenny a few weeks prior to their wedding day, they mentioned that the guests attending would be coming from all over the state and country. It was going to be a big family reunion, and they weren’t very confident that a lot of dancing would take place; we were all in for a pleasant surprise. After the dinner and toasts, I invited the bride and groom to the dance floor for their first dance. The guests followed close behind to take part in the festivities. They circled around them during their first dance with hands in the air and were so excited to celebrate with them on this momentous occasion. I played back a part of their vows in unison with the music during their first dance. They had no idea that I had recorded the ceremony for them and had inserted it into the song. They were shocked, surprised and appreciated how I had added to making their first dance even more unforgettable. This was my first time doing this, and the reaction I received was positive, to say the least. I would like to say that this entire group was amazing. These guys and gals danced the night away. Everyone was singing along, jumping around and going crazy up until the last dance. This wedding and reception was one to remember. Thank you Jon and Jenny for choosing me to be a part of your day.
Jon & Jenny’s review from WeddingWire:
Chris was spectacular! His attention to our desires/needs was impeccable and we were so happy with the music selection during our reception! The guests had an absolute blast! He also did a few extra things for us as a surprise that really “wrapped the wedding together” nicely. He is a wonderful person who truly cares about the wedding he is working with. Not a doubt in my mind that we would recommend Chris for any wedding/occasion that music services are needed.
