A 5 Star Wedding, at Greystone Castle, Canastota, NY

We recently has the honor of providing DJ services for Edward and Abigail Browka's all important day at Greystone Castle in Canastota. For Ed and Abby, we provided on-site ceremony services at their nearby family farm, as well as wireless uplights around the perimeter of the reception room.

For the ceremony, we provided gentle prelude music for guests arriving, and wireless microphones for the officiants & readings. A Harpist from the DeSantis Orchestra provided music for the ceremony itself.

It was a picture perfect ceremony and reception. After a delicious dinner catered by Carnegie Catering (one of my favs!) we slowly faded the warm amber uplighting, over to blue. It was time to party! The warm glow, turned an otherwise cold space, into intimate and elegant all at once.

Because dancing and music was so important to Edward and Abby, instead of being the upper 'loft' area of the room, they preferred to have us directly in front of the dancefloor. The result was awesome sound ON the dance-floor, rather than reverberating around the entire room, as is regularly the case at Greystone.

The floor was PACKED all night, and guests enjoyed an eclectic mix of music from all eras, including lots of current dance music. Edward and Abby were quite the dancers themselves, and they spent most of the evening with their guests, right on the dance-floor.

After their wedding, Edward and Abigail kindly wrote the following review of our services:

"Our wedding was awesome! One of the things that all of our friends and family are saying is that they have never seen a wedding were the dance floor was full from the first dance to the very last. There was artful and skillful flow from song to song, and the mix was fun yet tasteful, young and old alike felt comfortable. The MC introductions and announcements were very professional yet high high energy. One thing that I really liked is that Kirk was an advocate for us (the Bride and Groom) he worked with other vendors to make parts of the night work out well and how WE wanted. Kirk also took time before to really get to know us and help us discern what we really wanted. Our music choice was eclectic (hip hop to polka, country to classical... and Kirk worked with us to make it an awesome night! Also the light show was powerful and fun, and the sound system was clear and powerful, no distortion even when the volume went up toward the end of the night. I interviewed several DJs and Kirk is the rare combination of highly professional and truly fun."
