Rodriguez - Church @ Wakulla Springs


You'd never know it was raining at The Lodge at Wakulla Springs, this party ROCKED!-

"Denny was fantastic at our wedding, but his contributions to our big day began many months prior. He was a fantastic resource in planning our ceremony and reception, bringing years of event experience to the table. The day of the wedding the weather took a turn for the worse and forced us to move the ceremony inside at the last minute, but Denny took the change in stride without missing a beat. During the reception, he worked to get everyone out on the dance floor with a great variety of songs, even incorporating special ethnic musical requests from the guests."

Laura and Will @ Alligator Point, FL

Laura's take on the biggest day of her life-

"Will and I live in New York, but wanted an intimate family and friends wedding on the beach at Alligator Point, Florida. We found Denny online, and without even meeting him, we booked him on good faith and trust in the vibe and experience he conveyed over the phone. Denny did not disappoint! He put in the extra effort to make sure our ceremony and reception were absolutely amazing! Everyone was out on the dance floor, sweaty, sandy and having a blast. Our friends and family continue to tell us what a wonderful time they had, and Will and I are still on a cloud!"

Crow-Landrum in Port St. Joe Beach, FL

Hello Denny,
You know there's always a hint of uncertainty when you hire a service without any prior knowledge about the folks doing the job. But without doubt you more than delivered outstanding quality services on my daughter's wedding day at Windmark Resort. Once we met in Tallahassee, I was fairly confident we had done the right thing in hiring "The Wedding DJ". But with a major crisis of the lack of electrical power where we needed it at the ceremony site and no one available to fix "it", I found my "guts" churning. But when you arrived earlier on Saturday than you had to and did not stop until you "fixed" the crisis, I stopped worrying or stressing over that whole aspect of the wedding. You did a very professional job with genuine interest and concern for helping to make the wedding a happy memory for everyone. Also you used your years of experience in timing to know the best times for all the aspects of the evening including when to wind the reception up - leaving our guests wishing the night could go on forever... perfect....
We will be sure to recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone to provide high quality services. We'll also tell them that not only do you get great service, you also get to make a new friend....
We appreciate your part in making the evening "unbelievable" in Katelyn and Kyle's words and for relieving one of the knots in my stomach with a smile and your "let me handle it for you" attitude and performance.
Thank you....
Janora and Mark Crow

Leona and Mike on St. George Island


Leona and Mike were married on the beach on St. George Island. What a fun couple. All their friends and family were a blast! In Leona's words...

“When planning my wedding day, I was faced with dozens of decisions. Probably the most important one for me was selecting the right DJ. It was important to me to get someone with a good voice and good personality that I could trust to make announcements throughout the night and keep the reception moving along. I wanted a professional that could read the crowd, know when to throw on a slow song or crank up volume! The first time I talked to Denny, I got a good feeling about him. He got back with me within 24 hours. He worked with me on pricing. A week or so before the wedding, we met in person to finalize things. We talked about my vision for the ceremony, the reception and the music that would accompany all the night’s activities. He listened to my thoughts, asked questions, and provided suggestions. When the big day finally came, Denny came through 110%. Everything was as we planned. With so many things going on that day, it was such a relief knowing I didn’t have to worry about the DJ. Denny really made our wedding day a special day!” Photos by http://www.christiemeresse.com/

The Hoslers @ St. Thomas More



"Tallahassee Fl Wedding DJ, Tallahassee DJ, Wedding Music, Wedding Planner, Valdosta DJ, Thomasville DJ, Fl Beach DJ, Jacksonville Fl DJ, High School Reunion DJ, Mitzvah DJ, DJ Music, Sound System Rental, Wedding Dress, Wedding Rings, Wedding Cakes, Wedding Invitations, Wedding Photographer"

I have never seen such a glow from a bride as I did with Jen. She and Jimmy looked great, and their friends and family rocked! I booked two more weddings just from that reception alone. Here's why according to Jen..."We had meetings with Denny before our wedding and felt completely reassured of how our reception was going to flow. We trusted him and knew that he had everything under control. The reception was a lot of fun! I had many family members and friends make comments to me about the great job that Denny was doing. He was very attentive to my husband and I the whole time, even filling our champagne glasses. He kept the party going and everyone had a great time! Thank you Denny!!"

The Hueston's @ Bradley's Pond


What a great couple. They're both in the military and we had a table of Marines there...talk about fun...and safe, LOL. The atmosphere was light and casual, the bride was GORGEOUS and the dad's and uncles were cool checking out the sound systems (one for ceremony, one for reception.) The Retreat at Bradley's Pond is in my neighborhood and it never ceases to amaze with nature's beauty... You'll know everyone had a good time when you read this from the bride, Rachel...
"The Wedding DJ" did an exceptional job! He met with us beforehand to get everything perfect. So very helpful with ideas for songs for our ceremony. Every thing was right on key! I didn't have a single worry! He adjusted to our casual setting and was very personable with the wedding party and guests, giving the reception a comfortable tone. I don't think we could have had a better DJ for our wedding! I would recommend him to anyone! With Denny you can have a worry free ceremony and reception without missing a beat!

Kendall and Brad Myers at FSU Alumni Club


All I can say is, WOW! BEAUTIFUL wedding...here's what Kendall says:



"Sorry it has taken me so long, it's really been a whirlwind. I want people to know how great you were!
It was really great to work with you. The day was absolutely perfect and we owe you for a lot of it. No matter what people say, you can't prepare for how fast the day goes by. It was wonderful to have someone that had it all together that we could trust to take care of it for us. Thanks again for the wonderful reception. We and our guests had a great time."

Cory Smith Bar Mitzvah 5/23/09


Wow!!! What a great time. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was up and dancing all night. I was so busy I didn't get enough pictures, especially since my battery went dead. I brought twice as many games as I needed and the action never stopped. Here's Cory's Mom...

"You made the party the best fun for the entire family and all our friends. The entire family loved the party and it was cool for all that joined us. I know there are lasting memories. Everyone at the Bar Mitzvah thought the games and enthusiasm energy level was fabulous. The marshmallow monster truck and hula hoops were over the top!"

Bobbi Jo Thompson and Erik Kosec 4/15/09

PICTURES COMING SOON.

Perfect weather and a beautiful wedding at Willow Pond in Monticello. Bobbi Jo, Erik and I choreographed the whole ceremony, that and the reception went flawlessly... in Bobbi Jo's words:
Denny,
Thanks for such a great day! You were always one step ahead of the party and we loved every minute of it. We received lots of compliments from our guests about how you were more than just the DJ......Not to mention you were the first one there and the last one to leave. Your help to organize the wedding and write up itineraries for everybody made our life so much easier. We loved that you contacted us with issues and didn't wait for us to contact you because we were extremely busy. We got more than what we expected from you! Thanks again!!

Why it's O.K. to pay too much...

I'm not the least expensive Wedding DJ, nor am I the costliest. Instead, I charge a reasonable rate for very good service and an all-inclusive package...which is why I always work with you to be sure you get the very most for your money. Brides, understandably, don't always comprehend the whole entertainment process. It is an art to bring many generations together and have them all experience a really fun time. If there are three DJs with three different prices...they might be nice guys and sound good on the phone so you decide, let's go with the cheapest. What's being left out of consideration is the level of professionalism, capacity to perform, talent or attention to detail and your specific needs. It is almost always unwise to buy the cheapest, because, well, read on:

"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.

There is hardly anything in the world that someone can't make a little worse and sell a little cheaper - and people who consider price alone are this man's lawful prey." --John Ruskin (1819-1900)

Amanda and Paolo at Wakulla Springs


No matter what time of year, the Lodge at Wakulla Springs is such a nice setting and the staff is great. Amanda and Paolo have to be a couple of the nicest people I have ever met and their friends and family were dancing up a storm. We had a good sized contingent from South Florida, so the night featured it's share of Salsa. Here's what Amanda and Paolo said - "Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. Everyone had such a great time and it wouldn't have been possible without you." Christie Merresse did another awesome job on the pictures.

One of my brides in movie with Renee Zellwegger and Harry Connick Jr...

After another great reception last night, I was thinking (and talking) about how lucky I am to be doing something I love and I was asked what the highlights are...in other words, what's a good day? The things that make this the most fun are: I get a huge amount of satisfaction in being partially (OK, mostly) responsible for people having a good time, I take it very personally in ensuring the bride has the best day of her life so far and then she tells me exactly that, I really like using my equipment because I'm a music lover and I get to share my huge system with everyone...more or less in that order. I also remembered a wedding I did after seeing that the bride is doing a new movie with Renee Zellwegger and Harry Connick Jr. called "New in Town". You may remember Siobhan Fallon (not related to Jimmy although they both starred on Saturday Night Live) as Elaine's roommate on Seinfeld, the bus driver in Forrest Gump or as Alec Baldwin's sister on 30 Rock. The point here is, although she was already very famous at the time I Emcee/DJ'd her reception, Siobhan was just like every other bride...frantic, happy, expectant and deserving of a good job by everyone she hires. Siobhan had an awesome reception in Cazenovia, New York just outside Syracuse and she thanked me for it. That's what I work for...from every bride...because you deserve to start your new journey with a strong step in the right direction. Just thinking out loud.

Mallory & Matthew McGinnis



Here's what Mallory had to say about the most important day of her life so far..."The meetings with THE WEDDING DJ went great. He had everything in order and it only took about 20 min. to get everything just right. The reception was awesome and THE WEDDING DJ got everyone involved. He really kept the energy high and knew when to move on to another event for the evening. He was an excellent choice!"

What a great time...for everybody! Mallory and Matthew's wedding was attended by nearly 200 people, and held at Capitol City Country Club in Tallahassee. I love wedding receptions because I get to be part of very happy times and travel the entire state of Florida and Georgia doing beach weddings, destination weddings & theme weddings...but it's really nice to be right here in the center of the Panhandle in good old Tally with it's familiar faces, places and like all of Florida and Georgia, no shortage of people who know how to party.
