We love all of our couples, but we especially love when our couples are also some of our co-workers! As many of you know, DJ Sticky Boots has a mix show on 92.9 U93 Radio Friday and Saturday nights, and this past weekend’s couple was none-other than Irish Dave and Christine from the U93 morning show!
Anyone who listens to the morning show knows that Christine and Dave like to have fun with listeners but most of all, they like to have fun with each other. Fun people equal fun times.
KARALYN & DAN'S BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AT ROCK RUN CREEK BARN | DJ, CEREMONY, UPLIGHTING
The start of fall in Elkhart County is beautiful. You can see the stunning shades of red, orange and yellow start to develop. Combined this with golden-pink sunsets, farmers harvesting their fields, big red barns, and winding lanes and you've got an Instagram-worthy backdrop for your wedding!
This is exactly the vibe that Karalyn and Dan wanted for the wedding ceremony and reception. This Fort Wayne-based couple found Rock Run Creek Barn online and fell in love. Why wouldn't they? It has all of those make-our-Midwestern-hearts-swell amenities, it's an 1850’s restored barn that is heated and features inside restrooms ... oh, and it's handicap accessible! Such a big WIN for these fall days where the sun in shining but isn't providing a lot of warmth!
MEGAN & TONY'S ELCONA COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING | DJ, UPLIGHTING
Elcona Country Club is at the foot of the Bristol Hills and has a beautiful club house ballroom that overlooks the 18th green and 10th tee. The weather on this Saturday was exactly what you’d hope for with a wedding in early October - sunny skies, slight breeze and a temperature that wasn't too hot nor too cold.. And DANG, did this couple get the perfect combination of both!
Megan and Tony chose the Platinum entertainment package for their wedding reception based on both a recommendation from friends, and having grown up listening to Sticky Boots on the radio. Couples like that normally have a good idea of what the Sticky Boots experience is like and know how to have a good time, and as soon as we met Megan and Tony, we knew for certain this was going to be a super-fun wedding!
21ST NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER WEDDING FOR CARRIE & NICK | DJ
Just off the shores of Lake Wawasee on 27 acres of forested land in Syracuse, Oakwood Resort provides a stunning backdrop for almost any type of event. The only type of event it's not good for is one that doesn't want beautiful lake views, well-manicured grounds or a helpful staff to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. Those events may be out there, but we have yet to find one - ha!
We met Carrie and Nick via Facetime for their initial consultation. We knew that they were going to be a great couple to work with for a lot of reasons. Not only were they fun, they also became aware of The Music Place from their support and participation of the Wawasee Kiwanis Trivia Fundraiser we are a part of every year.
JENNI & BRIAN'S CEREMONY AND RECEPTION AT ST. JOE FARM, GRANGER | DJ, CEREMONY
Jenni and Brian were married in the stables on St. Joe Farm on a late-September Saturday. The weather was a balmy 80-degrees, not something that you expect on a Saturday in September in Northern Indiana. Guests were able to cool off a bit with a cocktail hour inside the Event Barn while Jenni and Brian were getting after-ceremony photos taken by their photographer, Jessica Burns of JB Photography.
The reception officially kicked off with a unique timeline. After DJ Iceberg hosted the Grand Entrance, introducing the individual members of the bridal parties, Jenni danced with her dad, Bryan. As the dance finished, Bryan passed Jenni’s hand to another Brian, her new husband, for their first dance as husband and wife. The handoff from Father to Groom was something important to Jenni and her family, and it’s unique touches like these that we love to see!
GOSHEN BARN WEDDING FOR CATARINA & LANCE | DJ, CEREMONY
ALICIA & PATRICK'S FAIRYTALE SOUTH BEND WEDDING | DJ, UPLIGHTING
Holy moly! It was a beautiful night in downtown South Bend, Indiana! Blue skies, light breeze, big white clouds ... exactly the recipe for a stunning September Saturday.
Alicia and Patrick hoped for exactly this type of wedding day and made sure they selected a wedding reception venue that would showcase beautiful weather. The Century Center in downtown South Bend fit the bill perfectly ... Island Park for cocktails and the Great Hall with huge windows for dinner and dancing. The bonus, they BOTH overlook the St. Joseph River and East Race!
SKYLAR & RYAN'S SCENIC WOODED RECEPTION IN BOURBON, INDIANA | DJ
Located along the Historical Lincoln Highway, you'll find the quaint town of Bourbon. For many years, this small town has been home to Back Forty Sporting Clays, a 40-acres haven for shotgun shooting enthusiasts, but their Banquet Hall is a haven for couples who want a private wooded setting for their wedding ceremony and reception. In a nutshell, the Back Forty is pure late-summer bliss and it's exactly the setting that Skylar and Ryan wanted for their special day.
LYNN & TIM'S PINTREST-WORTHY RECEPTION AT BREAD & CHOCOLATE | DJ, UPLIGHTING
Bread & Chocolate is located on this third-floor of the historic Old Bag Factory and this event space features centuries old brick, exposed beams and 1896 hardwood floors that are stunning and create the perfect setting for any wedding (or really, any type of event).
This is exactly what Lynn and Tim were wanting for their wedding day. Really, who doesn't? These Pintrest-worthy venues like Bread & Chocolate are classical, yet so trendy!
