A Rockin, Delicious Dinosaur BBQ Wedding Reception

Photo by Tom Harmon

On Saturday, September 21, I was the luckiest DJ in Syracuse. I had the pleasure of providing services for the wedding reception of Tim and Sarah Fredenburg. Sarah, a well known CNY wedding photographer, professionally uses her maiden name Sarah Heppell. As someone who is active in the local wedding industry, Sarah sees a lot of DJ's, I was honored she chose Select Receptions!




One of the important aspects of Tim & Sarah's big day was personalizing their Grand Entrance and the Wedding Party Introductions. During a client meeting, Tim told me briefly about the ordeal he had "popping the question". The more he told me, the funnier it got, and it really made sense to share this hilarious romantic story with their guests. After welcoming their important guests, and introducing their all important wedding party, I shared with friends and family the touching, funny, and romantic story of Tim, and a ring. A ring he kept in his pocket for an entire week, waiting for just the right moment. With every day, another tacky restaurant, bad desert or pouring rainstorm spoiled the chance at the memorable proposal Sarah deserved. Although the entire story lasted just a few minutes, it showed guests a window into Tim's romantic side, with a lot of laughs.

The night unfolded soon thereafter with lot's of drinking and consuming copious amounts of some the best barbecue in the world. If you're considering a Dinosaur BBQ wedding, pull the trigger and do it!






Tim & Sarah are a fun couple who love funky music, from Cake to the Kool & The Gang, they love to groove. Guests packed the dancefloor early on, and kept it hopping all night long, even forming a Soul Train Line. I had the pleasure of working with Photographer Tom Harmon, and at a later date, may update this post with more of his images.

Thanks again Tim & Sarah! I LOVE you guys and absolutely loved sharing in your day.
-Best

Kirk was great. He was flexible about playing the type of music we wanted to hear. I gave him a list of about 12 dance songs we wanted to hear (mostly funky 70's or dancy 80's stuff) and he ran with it, adding his own touch to the selection and providing us with a truly tailored musical experience. He was very good at gauging the room and knew when to switch from eighties dance party to modern club music (when the drinks had coursed through the guests.) Also, Kirk knew how to be a good DJ without attempting to make himself the center of attention, which I think a lot of DJs try to do. He didnt talk too much, just when needed. He was professionally dressed, as was his assistant. Kirk rules.
