Schools are back! Semi-Formal in Rhode Island
What a journey it has been for students and administration as they navigate the pandemic. We couldn't have been more excited when schools started calling for semi-formal, proms and graduations. It's going to be an incredibly busy spring and to kick things off we hit the road and went to Portsmouth, Rhode Island to DJ a semi-formal at Portsmouth Abbey.

DJ at a Museum? Ok! | Bath, Maine Event Recap
Well, this was a first! I got to party in a Museum. How cool is that? But, the best part: DJ'ing for good friends and industry peers.

I work with these amazing folks all the time on the road but to have an opportunity to do an event they host, for their employees? Sign me up! Have a look at this.

I'm hitting the ground running in 2022. First wedding of the year, in the books and I couldn't be happier for Jenn and Cam. What an amazing couple and a wonderful group of family and friends. Check out the recap from their wedding hosted at Union Bluff Meeting House in York, Maine.
NYE Portland Maine Wedding
What an amazing way to close out 2021 and bring in 2022! Zach and Michelle planned their intimate Portland, Maine wedding and brought me in to provide: DJ services, uplighting, ceremony coverage, cocktail sound system, dance floor wash lighting, and a social booth! Wow, what a combination of services! Check out their cocktail hour playlist and photos from their amazing reception.
Closing Out 2021 – Bring on 2022!
First: thank you to all my clients and couples! Being a DJ is a ton of fun and it wouldn't be possible without your trust and support. This industry is my passion and I'm incredibly grateful to share it with you at your events. 2021 was crazy and it looks like 2022 is going to be absolutely wild. Events are back and I cannot wait for, what will be a VERY busy year. Here's where I'm headed in 2022.
Realty of Maine Holiday Party | Hilton Garden Inn Bangor
My first time working with the group from Realty of Maine and it was an absolute blast! I traveled to Bangor, Maine to provide DJ services, uplighting and a photo lounge for their annual holiday party. What an amazing group and a ton of fun!
Bradley + Julianne | Camp Jordan
Looking for acres of privacy and a waterfront location? Camp Jordan in Ellsworth delivers - big time! What an amazing spot to celebrate Bradley and Julianne's ceremony & reception. The weather cooperated for the ceremony but rolled in heavy during cocktails. So, what happened? Check it out for yourself!
Livestream for LA Metro Chamber | Finest Under 40
The original plan was for this to return to an in-person event for 2021. Unfortunately, as we entered into the fall months it became evident that it would shift to virtual for the second year in a row. We were brought in again to produce the entire show. What goes into a live stream production? Video equipment, video, and audio encoding, graphic overlays. It's very similar to TV production and a lot different than when I DJ events. Check out some behind-the-scenes photos and a video of the entire broadcast.
Kaylin + Sean | Cunningham Farm
Okay, I admit. I'm a bit delayed in getting this on the blog. But, better late than never...am I right? 🙂 Kaylin and Sean had an amazing 2020 wedding planned. Then, Covid. Like so many others we pivoted. We found a new date in 2021 and kept our fingers crossed. Well, thankfully, it happened! And, it was everything I had pictured for these two beautiful souls. I mean, what a party!
Graydon + Jessica | Sebasco Harbor Resort
If you haven't been to Sebasco Harbor Resort before, do yourself a favor and just go! Graydon and Jessica treated their guests to an amazing property filled with a phenomenal ceremony and stunning oceanfront ceremony. These two (and their friends) know how to party! What an amazing reception, check out the highlights.
Is The Social Booth The New Photo Booth?
Introducing the social booth! Some call it a selfie booth, but whatever you call it know this: it's a lot of fun! How is it different from the photo booths I've always offered? This is a digital kiosk offering still photos, GIFs & boomerangs. After choosing the type of session you want to have you can apply digital props and filters. Think Instagram or Snapchat. After your session is complete simply text or email your images. It's that simple! Best of all, it's incredibly affordable!
Ryan and Alex | River Winds Farm & Estate
It's Labor Day weekend which means we're straight out busy! I love it. Saturday, I partied in Rangeley with Will and Mallory and on Sunday I was in Saco partying with Ryan and Alex. This was my first time DJ'ing at River Winds Farm and Estate and my first impression? Wow! What a phenomenal property. Check this one out.
Will + Mallory | Mountain Star Estate
While taking a day trip with my family in the Spring of 2021, I happened to meet Nate, the owner of Mountain Star Estate. As fate would have it, I would be at his property in September to celebrate with Will and Mallory. Nate offered us a private tour (gorgeous by the way) and I couldn't wait to be back at the property for a wedding. Will and Mallory's ceremony and reception was next level. Check it out.
York Maine Graduation Ceremony
With Covid restrictions recently lifted for outdoor events, we returned to "normal" with the audio/visual production for York High School's graduation ceremony. We deployed a full front of house stage sound system with delayed stacks and 8 channels of wireless ULXD microphones. Afterwards, we provided laser tag and DJ services for their project graduation.
