Six Hours of Elegance and Fun at the Sherwood Inn, Skaneateles, NY

First Dance by Molly and Jonathan, Select Receptions by CNY Select DJs

On Saturday, May 25, 2013, we had the pleasure of helping Molly and Jonathan Johnson craft their elegant, fun wedding reception.

The celebration was held at The Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles, NY. The Sherwood is a perfect venue for a reception, with an intimate setting, and views of beautiful Skaneateles Lake. Nadine DuChene, the Events Manager, is a consummate professional, and is a pleasure to work with.

I also enjoyed working with photographer Todd Johnson of Come together Studios.

The tables had ivory linens, with green runners which matched the theme of their wedding. Because we don't use a "facade" or DJ booth, our low-profile digital controller fit neatly on a table that perfectly matched the rest for their reception. We transmitted wireless sound to the far lounge for full coverage within 3 rooms and the front porch area. Guests were able to hear Molly and Jonathan's music throughout, without missing any important announcements.

Cocktail and Dinner music was selected by Molly, and included a great mix of standards, and music personally meaningful. I'm always happy to help clients shape a playlist that is unique to them. In Molly's case, she knew just what she wanted, and as the playlist was compiled, I couldn't have been more impressed with her selections.

For dancing, Molly had just a handful of requests, and the rest was an open slate. I filled in the blanks based on her tastes, and the dance-floor was packed literally all night long. Molly and Jonathan's friends and family were some of the most fun guests I've ever spun for. Anyone walking down the sidewalk on Genesee Street in Skaneateles saw a huge crowd bouncing in The large bow windows.

When Molly and I sat down at Panera to talk about her wedding, one of the most important things to her was that people DANCE. I'm happy to report, they rocked right up until the end. :)
