A T-Rex in Whitsett?

“We literally couldn’t keep people off the dancefloor. And I even had family and friends telling me after how much they loved the music! I truly did not know what to expect but I was blown away! Dow Oak Events was a godsend!! Would totally recommend them, 5 stars!” –WeddingWire

Living in the Moment

It warms our heart seeing all ages out on the dance floor living in the moment! That’s definitely what was going on at this wedding. There’s an art to playing hits that young and old can get down to. Luckily, that’s something we’ve got some practice in. So we kept the hits coming. From Jackson 5 and Bob Seger to Usher and JT, we kept the vibe going.

We honestly couldn’t keep people off the dance floor. This was definitely a gang that was trying to dance. And that makes it fun for us too.

Awesome Memories

These photos are amazing. Russell-Killen photography did such a great job capturing the moments Lindsay and Dylan will remember for a lifetime. You can definitely see the mood of the night in the photos, too. Here’s to many more memories and years of happiness to come!

The Hideaway is definitely a very cool venue as well. We were driving down a winding road and ended up in the woods at the ceremony spot. It was a super unique spot, and that’s something we appreciate. Seeing how different couples choose to celebrate their big days in individual ways is one of the reasons we love what we do. And this was definitely unique in an awesome way.

Final Thoughts

We’re lucky to be in the business we’re in. That’s not something we forget. However, there are certain weddings that remind us why we got into this in the first place. Both this couple and these vendors reminded us this time. Without reservation, we would say that this was an all around amazing time.

And as a final note, we just need to say… We absolutely love what we do. Being a part of the unique and personal ways couples celebrate is why we do it. And we loved being a part of this celebration. It’s always awesome to see how couples choose to celebrate.

We’ve learned that being a wedding DJ isn’t just about playing music. So we take our role seriously. Facilitating such a big day is a serious job! That’s why we always give every wedding or event our all.

The Wow Factor

WOW! Is all that can be said about the beauty of this wedding. The people, flowers, venue… amazing. And the thoughtfulness of the Bride and Groom for the guests! All of this left us a bit speechless.

Let’s start with the venue. The ceremony was tucked away in the woods. It was simple, gorgeous, and elegant. They even offered fans for the guests. And the venue team did a phenomenal job crafting this scene. In other words, everyone was working together flawlessly. And that’s something we notice. For instance, we had no trouble at all coordinating everything.

However, THE FLOWERS THOUGH. They were to die for! Whole Foods in Chapel Hill absolutely killed it. The centerpieces for the tables were so simple. Yet they drew focus to the origami crane place settings. Which was a very cool touch. This was definitely something we hadn’t seen before. In addition, these photos are awesome too. They exude love, fun, and adoration. Above all, they captured true emotions. In addition, they look amazing.

Planting the Seed

After that, the newlyweds gave out the wedding favors. Now, this was another very thoughtful gift for the guests. Seeds to take home as wedding favors! They even researched what will grow best in North Carolina vs what will grow best in Washington. We need more people like them!

In addition, they made sure that we were open to guest requests. That’s something we’re always happy to do. However, not every couple goes out of their way to do that. This extra touch is another example of caring about the guest experience. Similarly, they made sure all guests were having a good time on the dance floor.
