Ken’s Surprise

October 30, 2009

Michelle and Ken met in Chemistry class in high school and “chemistry” they had. Friday night they were married at the Kings Island Resort and Conference Centre where they also celebrated with a great reception. 

I plan on talking more about this reception in a future blog when I get some pictures from our friends at Images By Daniel Michael. What I want to highlight in this blog is Ken’s Surprise.

A few months before the wedding Michelle called me to ask about some things. During our conversation I learned they had just found out Ken’s brother, who was to be the best man, was being deployed to Iraq before the  wedding.  Fast forward to Friday night.  Just after the toasts I paused looked at the crowd and said “You know what, there is one more toast and it comes all the way from Iraq.”  My DJ hit play and this is what Ken, Michelle and their guests heard.

   

I don’t think I have experianced a more emotional moment at a wedding reception before in my life. Michelle should be commended as she was a big part of setting this up with his brother. This is just one example of the lengths we will go to for our clients and how a simple idea can have such a big impact on the wedding day.

Here is what Michelle had to say about our services.

Hi Brandon  -

I know you are probably sick of me saying this (lol) but I really cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day the best ever!  We have heard nothing but amazing compliments about our fabulous DJs.  We had a ton of people tell us it was the best wedding reception they’d ever been too!  They loved the custom intros, the shoely-wed game, and the overall flow of the night.  We even got a few “hey those guys are hot!”  The music was great, the lights were amazing, and you guys just plain rock!   

I am also beyond appreciative that you helped pull off that speech with his brother.  It was definitely a show-stopper and poor Kenny still gets teary although he did finally listen to the entire thing.  It was definitely an emotional day all around and you made the day unforgettable.

Thank you!  I hope we can stay in touch!

Corey and Lauren – Pretty In Pink

August 19, 2009

Congrats to Corey and Lauren! I had the pleasure of working for them at the Glendale Lyceum this month. On top of providing our entertainment services we also provided lighting from our sister company Light Your Day. The results of the lighting impressed even the venue manager who has seen the room decorated many different ways.

The most satisfying thing for me with this event was the second chance to work with such a great family. I just did Lauren’s brother Rob’s wedding this past winter. We did some special things for this wedding to make it stand out from Rob and Laura’s.  We did custom recordings of the father daughter and mother son dances. We did a total of 8 uplights a cake light and 2 monograms. This was one special night. Enjoy the video.

Cincinnati Art Museum

July 19, 2009

Last night I was at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Due to space restrictions it is important to have a compact/elegant looking set-up here. I think we accomplished that very well.

Here are a couple of pictures. In the first one you see our setup in black near the bottom of the steps. In the second one you see our remote speaker providing wireless sound to the courtyard during cocktail hour.

Now take a look at some other DJ websites. How would those big flashy setups look in this venue? Fun, memorable, creative and still classy www.heymrdj.net

New Website On The Way

July 2, 2009

Hey! Mr DJ Entertainment has a new website on the way. I’ve been working on it almost daily and hope to have it up and live next week. I’m excited about rolling it out. I think it better reflects us and how we have evolved in the past few years than the older website does.

Not to fear the older website will still remain but will be hosted at www.heymrdjentertainment.com

Here is a *sneak preview* picture from the new website. This one and others on the site were done by Pottinger Photography.

We are also using several pictures from Images by Daniel Michael.

I want to thank both of these companies for providing us with shots for the new website. If any other Cincinnati Wedding Photographers have FUN shots from Hey! Mr. DJ weddings feel free to send them over I’ll give you full credit.

Andrew and Lindsay’s Friday

June 19, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I got to spend my Friday entertaining at Andrew and Lindsay’s wedding ceremony and reception. The event was held at the Manor House. We planned this on short notice because Andrew who is in the Army reserves was given notice he was being deployed. Imagine getting married and then leaving your new spouse. We all owe them a debt of graditude for their sacrafice. Andrew I wish you the best. Maybe we can do a welcome home party in the future.

The video of the event is below. You will not hear any hip hop or rap as that was their request. We managed to squeeze in some newer rock for them and their friends to enjoy a few times toward the end of the night. As a side note Andrew and Lindsay had their first date going to their High School’s Sadie Hawkins dance.  As it turns out, I DJ’d that dance. Learning that was a pretty cool moment for me.
