Chase and Carley Sitting in a Tree…

[Chase and Carley Sitting in a Tree… originally published by Dow Oak Events — Winston Salem Wedding DJ]

“At first we felt so intimidated at the thought of hiring a DJ. But the more we looked in to Dow Oak Events, the more comfortable we felt with everything! Talking with our DJ, planning out our dances, and making sure everything was just right… it really took a ton of that nervousness away! 10/10 absolutely.” –Google

Everybody Danced

Carley, Chase and their friends and family are the kinds of people that make our job easy. And remind us why we do what we do. Their willingness to have fun, go with the flow, and enjoy the moment was so apparent. Even the kids got their moments on the mic to put on a show for everybody.

It is so nice to see when everyone is involved in the festivities. Alayna Kaye Photography did a wonderful job capturing the excitement and love we felt here.

The crowd participation at this one was amazing also. We usually have some go-to songs to get people out on the dance floor. But this crowd needed no encouragement to throw down. We had a packed dance floor all night, and we loved it.

Bubbles!

BUBBLES! Light, fun, beautiful spheres. Instead of rice or sparklers, this couple was sent off with a bubbly exit. Not something we’ve seen before, but definitely something we won’t forget. We love seeing the unique, individualized touches couples add to their celebrations.

We wish Carley and Chase the best for many, many years to come! Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this day. Here’s to many to come!

Final Thoughts

One thing that can really make a wedding special is total participation. Not only from all the vendors, but everyone in attendance. Which is what we saw here. Whether old or young, everyone wanted their turn on the mic. And we were happy to oblige. Many times, we see the younger guests get sidelined. But this time, there was TOTAL participation. Which was very, very cool.

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.

In conclusion, we’ve learned that being a wedding DJ isn’t just about playing the 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.

These Playlists Were Off the Chain

“We had a wonderful experience working with Dow Oak Events and Erik. They were easy to work with, their planning tools were great and helpful to me in my planning process, and Erik was happy to customize the reception to just how I wanted it. He had the dance floor full all night long, and everyone had an absolute blast! We could not have asked for a better DJ experience for our wedding!”

Success Stories

YES! We love a great success! We love it when our clients are fully satisfied. So we always strive to go above and beyond. It is a great feeling to help make someone’s big day the best it possibly can be.

 And that is why we love our job!

The flowers and table decorations put together by Sophisticated Florals by Stephanie were perfect! We can always get down with awesome floral arrangements.

Straightaway, we could feel the love captured in these photos by Helen with Visuals by Helen. The entire day was filled with that amount of love! We could feel it not only from Mr. and Mrs. Canovai, but from the bridal party, the guests, and all the way to the vendors.

Flowers, Food, and Festivities

For now, let us take a second to admire… Not only those amazing flowers and table decoration, but also THE FOOD! City BBQ killed it. Without a doubt, his dinner was some of the best catering we have had in a long time. We can definitely say City BBQ never disappoints. And then…. there were DOUGHNUTS! Delicious, easy to eat and just enough. Great work Cake and All Things Yummy!

As a result of awesome requests, the music selection was so much fun! Bruno, Usher, Whitney, Michael Jackson, ABBA… and the list goes on! There was dancing the entire reception!

A huge thanks to the newlyweds for letting us be a part of their big day. And another huge thanks to all the vendors for all working together so well!

Final Thoughts

There’s always one thing that stands out for us in every wedding we do. (Other than the newlyweds). In this case it was absolutely the food. It really is hard to go wrong with BBQ. But this BBQ… this was something else.

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.
