An Instant Classic at Mirbeau Inn


Saturday, August 16th, we were honored to provide DJ and MC services for the wedding celebration of Trisha and Daniel Brown. 

The wedding ceremony was held at Mirbeau Inn in Skaneateles, where we also provided ceremony sound services, and offered our Bose cocktail music for an indoor cocktail hour which as held in the lounge.  

Because of inclement weather, the tented deck area at the far end of the garden had walls attached to keep guests dry. 





After a delicious dinner and a few formalities, we opened up the dance-floor with a bang. 


Trisha and Dan's friends and family were lots of fun, and danced all night long. The newlywed's selected some important songs to them, and we filled in the blanks and accepted requests.


Top dance songs of the night were:
Rihanna - We Found Love
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Don Omar - Danza Kuduro
Chris Brown - Forever
Earth, Wind & Fire - September






After a a couple hours straight of packed dance-floor, the evening ended with a request from Trisha: Cascada - Everytime we touch. It was a big hit, and Trisha and Dan's friends and family filled the floor for one last dance.

The entire wedding was an elegant, fun affair, rain notwithstanding. Thanks Trisha and Dan, for letting us help you celebrate your big day. The pleasure was ours.

A special thanks to photographer Laure Lille, videographer Zach Cullen, and Nina Vitale, the site coordinator at Mirbeau. It's always a pleasure working together. :)

Best,

The Hartline's Elegant Nuptials at the Skyline Lodge, Fabius, NY

Last Saturday, we helped a very special couple celebrate their marriage at the Skyline Lodge at Highland Forest in Fabius. The Hartlines exchanged vows overlooking the rolling hills on the back deck, where their friend provided the soundtrack of live cello, and we provided wireless lav microphone for their officiant to pick up the couples words.




After a picture perfect ceremony, and a delicious dinner, in lieu of the traditional wedding events, the brides played a round of the Newlywed game! As always, it was hilarious, and kept guests laughing the entire time. To keep it fresh, I always ask couples for a few questions (privately) that are personal to them, and might be unexpected by the other. It made for an extra funny rendition of the game.



We also provided spot-uplighting in a few key areas. Because of the many windows at the Skyline Lodge, doing extensive uplighting can be somewhat difficult. That said, adding accents to areas like the fireplace, or under a cake-table, can highlight focal points in the room, and personalize the space, by tying in your custom wedding colors.



It was an elegant and fun wedding, that I'm pleased to say, was very personalized to the Hartlines.
They were an absolute pleasure to plan with along the way, and their guests were a fun bunch.

I also had the pleasure of working again with photographer Sarah Rossborough of 'I Do' wedding Photography.

Thanks again for letting us be a part of your big day! :)
