Thanks, Rebecca!

I would like to take a minute and thank Rebecca Goodwin for all of her hard work as our Wedding Coordinator over the last few years.

She has decided that she needs to step down from this position. I respect her decision and wish her all the best!

Thanks, Rebecca, for all you've done!

Elizabeth turns 16!

Headed down to the SoChi Gallery to perform at Elizabeth's Sweet 16. We did minimal uplighting, monogram and 2 blacklights, per her request. We also had out the Macon FunShots photobooth.

Here are a couple of pics and a link to see more. http://www.macondj.com/elizabeth

Ran my first 5k

So I ran in the Camp Little Shot 5k this morning. Camp Little Shot provides a summer camp for kids with diabetes to go to.

I did fairly well....a 33:10 time. What I wasn't ready for was the hills! When I run, I typically run on flat roads. Guess that's gonna change!

Anyway, I plan on doing more. I'm 40 now and not getting any younger. I want to be around a while longer, so I'm gonna try and take better care of myself.

take it easy!

Brett and Leah get married at Healy Point Country Club

Brett and Leah had their ceremony and reception at Healy Point Country Club last Saturday. It was a little warm, to say the least, for the outside ceremony, but I put a fan up by the altar so Brett and Leah wouldn't overheat. It was a beautiful ceremony, with a string duet providing the music.

Kristen stepped in with 2 weeks to spare to help out with the coordinating of the ceremony. Big props for a great job!!!!

Here are a few pics from the day and a video. I forgot to bring my camera tripod for the FLIP so please forgive the camera angles! :)

Amy and Mike's reception

Lots of times, we as DJs get a little anxious at receptions that are in the afternoon. We're just not sure if the dancing will take off.

Guess what? That wasn't the case at Amy and Mike's reception. Their family and friends were all about the party! The Armory Ballroom was the place to be for the reception. Beautiful decorations by Carmen and Allison from Nectar and Co. made the place pop. Photography by Jenny and Koutsunis from Jenny Evelyn Photography took some gorgeous pics. I can't wait to see them all!

Mark Foley from Foley Productions shot a highlights reel that I will try and link to here. His work is nothing short of amazing!

We tried something new at this wedding. We took a spotlight and put it in the balcony. Big thanks to Kristen for running it, after a crash course. We used it for the introductions and first dance. Then Jenny and Kristen collaborated to use it for the Marriage Appreciation Dance. With purple being one of the wedding colors, Kristen used her creative skills and popped the spotlight to purple for some awesome backlit pictures.

The day ended early, since it was an early wedding, so after teardown, we took off for some Mexican food with Jenny and Koutsunis. What a great ending to a great day!

Here's some video footage. The guests arrived 30 minutes early so I didn't get a chance to do the talking intro. Enjoy it anyway!

Jay's Hope 4th Annual Celebrate Hope

Once again, DKH got to help out Jay's Hope raise money for their mission. I love helping them out. Cindy Gaskins is the founder of Jay's Hope. You can read about her story here.

You can also donate if you'd like to help out.

It was a 70's theme, so I got to dig deep and play some stuff I haven't heard in years.

Thanks, Cindy, for letting me be your DJ.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's! We appreciate all that you do!

Mark and Natalie's Wedding Day

What an awesome couple! Mark and Natalie were so much fun. They had the ceremony on her parents front porch and had a 60x60 tent for the reception.

Thanks to Carmen from Nectar and Company for the beautiful flowers, Calista Waddy, Macon Harpist for her ceremony skills (thanks for letting me beatbox to some of your warmup tunes!) Julie Knott from Dream Affairs Catering (what a great presentation and great food!). Thanks to Kristen for her help with the ceremony.

This crowd loved beach music! It was enjoyable to watch young and older shag and just have a great time!

Pictures will be added later, but here's some video.

Justin and Mandi take a ride on the Big Green Tractor

What a cool couple! I had the privilege of providing the entertainment for Mandi and Justin this past Saturday at the Cotton Barn. Justin is a cotton farmer so it was pretty cool to see that the boutineers were cotton stalks.

We had peanuts and Coke for favors and little bit of line dancing to make the night complete. As always, Paul and Delise and their crew were perfect to work with.

Thanks Justin and Mandi!

Happy Earth Day!

DKH is proud to announce we're going green! What better day to make this announcement. In an effort to help save our planet, we are phasing out all of our current conventional lighting to make all of our lighting LED. LED will use less power and enable us to do more with the lighting to make your event POP!!!

Do your part and recycle, turn off the lights when you don't need them and let's help make the planet cleaner for our kids.

Kevin and Ashley's Wedding

Wow! What can say about Kevin and Ashley? A great couple with very unique tastes in music. I can honestly say I’ve never played anything by the group Hoots and Hellmouth! We took care of coordination (thanks, Rebecca!), the ceremony, the reception and Kristen took care of setting up her infamous uplighting with a purple and green pattern to match the wedding colors! (thanks, Kristen!)

A loooooong weekend

Wow! What a weekend! It started off on Friday afternoon, with a setup at Idle Hour Country Club for a wedding on Saturday. I can't wait to see some of the images taken there by Neal of iNWARD Studio.

After that, I went to Stratford School for a middle school dance.



Left there and met up with Steve Lynch from Extreme Entertainment out of Atlanta. He was at the Armory for a home school prom. Helped him tear down and got in bed around 2:30.

My internal alarm went off at 7am and my day started. Got everything packed up, picked up my assistant, Kristen and off we went to Pineola Farms in Fort Valley. Paul and Delise always have things perfect there, so I have to admit, I was a little nervous setting up the lights in the daytime since I couldn't see the monogram. Anyway, we lit the tent with Color Palettes, a night time sky light and a monogram.

Left there and took off to the Blacksmith Shop to setup for Andrew and Becca's wedding reception. We tried a different setup this time and I fell in love with it. We used the EV dual 15's with 2 Proel 18" subs under them. The sound was nothing short of amazing!!!

Andrew and Becca are so cool and have some great friends as well. I didn't take any decent pictures, because I forgot the good camera. Here's the only decent one.


Here's a great pic of the two of them, courtesy of Jenny Evelyn Photography.
I was able to take some video, so here it is!

After the reception, Kristen and I did a quick strike of the setup and headed south, once again, to Pineola Farms to get the lights out of the tent. I grabbed a couple of pics with the budget camera. This the best one and does not do it justice!


Headed back to Macon, dropped Kristen off and headed to the house for some sleep. Woke up the next morning and headed to Idle Hour to pick up the lights.

A great weekend, but seriously busy! I love it! Thanks to everyone that helped DKH make every bride's wedding everything they wanted!

Geoff and Valerie tie the knot!

What a great couple! April 3rd, The Blacksmith Shop was the place to be as Geoff and Valerie tied the knot and became husband and wife. The weather was perfect in the courtyard as friends and family gathered to celebrate with them.
The party started strong inside as the reception got underway. We had a great time working with Kyle Hale Photography, Carmen from Nectar and Company and Bobbi Jo from Ashley Lauren, Ltd Catering.

Enjoy a few images and video. The monogram was actually created from an image of a dandelion on a wall in their house. Thanks to Neal from iNWARD Studio for his help in creating this one of a kind monogram.

Thanks Geoff and Valerie for a great time and congratulations!

Karaoke

What better way to clear your air passages of pollen to to come to karaoke and belt out your favorite tune!

Mellow Mushroom Macon - tonight at 7:30pm

Spring has sprung!

Yep! Spring has sprung! How do I know? Is it the beautiful flowers that are bursting forth all over? Is it the Bradford Pear trees blooming? Is it the warmer weather?

Yes to all of these, but the number one sign of spring is my confounded hay fever!!! I thought I was gonna have an easier year, but that's not the case. Zyrtec and Benedryl. That's what worked last year. We'll see about this year.

I go see the ENT on Friday. I'm hoping they can send me to an allergist to finally figure out, after 35 years, what I'm allergic to.

On a happier note, a great sign of spring is all the wonderful couples that are getting married over the next few months. I can't wait!

This is going to be a very good year! Make yours one too!!

Happy Easter!!!!!!

Urban Cowboy

What a great time we had last Friday night at SoChi Gallery for the Urban Cowboy party.

Everyone got "duded up" in their finest western wear and stampeded downtown for the 1st big theme party of 2010! I saw people there I've never seen at a SoChi party. It was awesome!!! There were ever a couple of Futurity judges there. Futurities are, for lack of a better description, horse shows.

I got to try out my new EV speakers and they did not disappoint! Crystal clear sound and plenty of bass!

Let's not forget about the mechanical bull. I made it a whopping 15 seconds and walked funny for the next 1/2 hour. The winner of the contest rode for 38 seconds! Congrats!!!!!

With the help of Larry Najera, we got a chance to try out live streaming of an event. For this party, I streamed via Skype to Larry, who then was able to grab still from the video and post them up on Facebook for all to see. Look for this in the future from DKH.

Speaking of Facebook, if you haven't joined our Facebook community, please do. Become a fan

As always, comments are appreciated.

Enjoy a few pics!
