Good Food, Great People!
Last weekend was absolutely nuts! I had 3 events in 4 days and I'm finally rested and ready to go this weekend. On Friday DJ Brew and I enertained for a post holiday party for Aramark Employees at the University of Rochester.
My brother in law is the Food Services Director there and we used his contact to land the gig. He is an amazing chef and the food at the event was some of the best fare we were priveledged to in a while and we are at quite a few very nice venues on a weekly basis. Chicken Parm, and Grilled Steak and Garlic Smashed Potatoes were fantastic.
The event was a lot of fun and we met some really great people. The highlight of the evening was watching some of the guests teaching their manager Rita how to do the Soulja Boy dance. I'm still laughing at that one.
Saturday had me at Belhust Castle for a wedding ceremony and reception and Jason in Dundee for a young man's 16th birthday party. The wedding was for Bethany and James and they were a fun couple to work with. The crowd was country and rock and roll but we had them out their dancing to all sorts of fun stuff. The ceremony was beautiful and they had well over 150 candles througout the Meritage room during the event. We ran our main dancefloor speakers and ligts wirelessly which was a leap of faith and they worked flawlessly and saved me over an hour of running cables and having to hide them.
Monday had me at the Fargo Tavern in Aurora NY entertaining the staff of the Aurora Inn for their post holiday party. Lauren, and Heather are two of my favorite people in the wedding business and I always enjoy working with them for weddings at the Aurora Inn. The event was a blast! I was to play from 7-11pm and when we went to wrap up we still had a packed dance floor. I ended up playing until Midnight and finally had to kick them out. lol Old meets new Skewl hip hop dominated the last hour with the last song of the night being Biz Markee-You Got What I Need. Awesome time!
This week has Jason and I at Lauries Secret Garden in Palmyra NY for another post holiday party for Information Packaging Inc. out of Macedon. This will be our first time with this group and we look forward to entertaining them and having a grea time.
After this weekend things calm down for a few weeks, or so it looks. I will be trainging some new assistants and dj's for this year and we have a Valentines Weekend event at Bristol Harbour whcih is being advertised on the radio and print currently.
