Voit - Crow Wedding @ The Club

Hello All: On Saturday December 19Th I found myself back at one of my favorite venue's in Cleveland. The Club @ Key Center is always a great venue for a wedding reception, plus during the month of December they really go above and beyond with some amazing Christmas decorations as well. It was very classy and very festive. The reception was for a truly wonderful couple who I had a great time planning with. Catherine & Andrew tied the knot at The Club as well. Here are some of the major details of this Winter Soiree.

Date: Saturday December 19Th, 2009

Venue: The Club @ Key Center

Ceremony Musician: Brooke Hopkins (piano) of Jerry Bruno Productions

Cake: Phyllis Lester Designs

Photographer: Bishop Photography (Lori)

Santa Claus: Father of the Bride

DJ: ME - Of course, Scott E. Jones of Jerry Bruno Productions

Memorable Moment(s): Why is it that I can never come up with just one moment, this wedding was jammed full of fun. Here's are just a few things that I will always remember: 1. During the first dance Katie was very much into the moment, she was singing along, dancing and being playful with Andrew. It was very fun to watch. 2. The overly aggressive cake smashing that occurred just after the cake cutting. 3. The surprise visit from Santa Claus for the youngsters in attendance at the wedding. 4. The brides' twin-cousins (Ashley & Meghan age 7) sang "Love Story" by Taylor Swift to the bride and groom ( the whole song ). I have never seen anything so cute at a wedding in my entire professional career. It was awesome and the girls received a huge round of applause. 5. The anniversary dance was also super special. The final three couples were all Grandparents of the bride & groom. Celebrating 49, 50 and 65 years respectfully. Simply jaw-dropping, a true inspiration.

Now on to my iPhone photo's. Yeah you love em'.

Whitcomb - Tackabury Wedding.

Hello All: Well - It's my 101st post (Seems sorta monumental)....plus it's a new blog post on a kick ass wedding. This past weekend I had the pleasure of DJ'ing for a very hip couple. Nathaniel and Valarie are trendy, thoughtful, educated well-rounded people with an eye for elegance and an ear for good music. (Must be why they chose me! :) ) I was really looking forward to this wedding for two big reasons. First they decided to have their reception at a new venue for me. (Josephats Arts Hall) and their cocktail and dinner music line up was very cool. Lots of ambient music by artists like Air, Tosco, Quite Village, Herbert and Cockteau Twins. I think their musical taste's fit the space and guest list perfectly. The music created the perfect vibe for the event.

Here are the details on the shin-dig.

Date: Saturday December 5Th, 2009.

Venue: Josephats Arts Hall

Cake: White Flower Cake Shoppe

Caterer: A Spice of Life

Transportation: Lolly The Trolley

Photographer: Genevieve Nisly Photography

DJ: Scott E. Jones (me) - Jerry Bruno Productions

Memorable Moments: The Energy of the room and guests. Everyone was very ready to party and the night went without a hitch. One of their uncles was also a hit as he did cart-wheels down the center of the dance floor. (think Chris Farley, but not)

Memorable Moment(s): Again, there were a couple: The Best Man's speech was super funny. Within he first 10 seconds he had the entire room in tears from laughter: "For The Occasion" sounds funny when you say it as "Fornication". It was flipin hysterical. I have heard this before in a toast, but it never gets old. Thanks Jim! Watching the bride & her father get down to Usher's "Yeah" was pretty awesome too. (see pic below).

Here are my always amazing iPhone quality photos.

Yeah, you love em:
