Country Weddings – Country boys and girls gettin down on the farm

WOW! What a great weekend for country weddings. On Saturday, May 10th, Alika and Kim Williams were married. This wasn’t an ordinary wedding for us. It was super special because it was family. Alika is one of our team members who takes care of our guests with our photo booth. The entire dream team was in attendance yesterday. Aaron was the DJ, Mike took care of the photo booth, and Mark shot some great video. Our very good friend Keith Alan from Keith Alan Productions was also there and married Kim & Alika as their Justice of Peace. It was a fantastic day.

Their wedding took place at the beautiful Wood Acre Farms in Terryville, CT. The country setting was so warm and inviting and the staff was absolutely wonderful to work with. Guests were treated to some really great cuisine that was as flavorful as it was plentiful. The ceremony took place at the gazebo next door to a beautiful New England landscape. Kim’s ride to the wedding in a late 19th century horse and carriage was a sight to see.

It was a wonderful day as friends and family gathered at the farm. Congratulations to Kim & Alika on their wedding!

When I first met Doug & Rebecca on their way to finding a wedding dj, I knew they weren’t your typical couple. They were very much outside the box thinkers and loved all things alternative. Their wedding celebration was no exception. On September 21st 2013, Doug & Rebecca had their wedding reception at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury CT.

It was a fun filled day complete with horseshoes, bocce, volleyball, and frisbee. Not to mention ferris wheels, pirate ships, and roller coasters. Instead of filet, guests were treated to a tasty barbecue. Music filled the air as guests ate, drank, and played.

At the end of the reception, a campfire was started and the kids enjoyed yummy smores after a fun filled day at quassy.

Rebecca & Doug’s celebration was one I won’t soon forget.

Hi Crystal!

Congratulations on your engagement! You must be excited.
I’ve done several LGBT weddings this year and I can say with a great deal of certainty, there’s no difference between a heterosexual wedding and a lesbian wedding. That is, unless you want it to be. Now in speaking with some of my lesbian couples, they had said that they had a difficult time finding LGBT specific vendors and decor. But let me ask you this, do you want it to be different? The only significant difference that I saw was the cake topper. Other than that, everything else was the same. Food was delicious, tables and centerpieces were tasteful and exquisite, lightscaping was colorful and vibrant, and the guests danced all night long.

As it is with any wedding we do… Every wedding. Every time. It’s all about you.
