I first got to know Brittany back in the Summer of 2004 when we worked together at my family owned roadside vegetable stand. It didn’t take long for me to see that her pretty smile and bubbly personality was a great asset to the business.

It was several years later when I had the honor of meeting her boyfriend, Kevin. Shortly after, I received a call from them announcing their engagement and asking me if I could DJ and Emcee their up-coming wedding reception. We scheduled a meeting and started the planning process.

On our first meeting, they told me about their family and friends that made up their wedding party. We put it all together for a truly “one of a kind” personalized wedding party introductions, which was not to be revealed until the Brittany and Kevin’s wedding reception as their family, friends and guest (all 450 of them) cheered and laughed as they were introduced as the “Kissing Bandit”, Kevin’s “Man Husband” and the Power couple to name a few. Brittany and Kevin made their grand entrance into the reception held at the Ham Family Plantation between Snow Hill and La Grange, North Carolina and onto the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife to Aqualung’s “Brighter Than Sunshine.” With twenty seconds left in the song, the music began to skip and scratch only to reveal the whole wedding party joining them in the dance for a choreographed “Rock The Reception Dance” to Michael Jackson’s “ The Way You Make Me Feel”.

Other highlights of the night included Brittany’s dance with her Dad to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is” and Kevin’s dance with his Mom to the Globetrotter’s “Rainy Day Bells”.

Their custom monogrammed light shining “Brittany & Kevin” on the ceiling was a huge hit with the newlyweds as well as their guests.

The night came to an end around midnight with the last dance “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” and a grand exit with sparklers and a horse drawn carriage by Dixie Carriages.

Thanks Brittany & Kevin for your business and friendship!

Attached are pictures from my personal camera and some by Stella Miller.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Amber and Adam as they grew up from teenagers to young adults. Through the years, I was the DJ for some of their 1st “dance parties” at 13, then all the “sweet sixteen dance parties,” their high school proms and their engagement party. So it was only fitting for me to help make their wedding reception OUT OF THIS WORLD.

As Adam & Amber guest arrived at Farmville Country Club, they enjoyed appetizers and classic Carolina Beach music and “oldies but goodies” love songs while Photographer Eric Jones finished up some amazing shots at Friendship Freewill Baptist Church after the wedding. As soon as Amber, Adam, their family & friends/wedding party arrived, the wedding was kicked up a notch or two for the personal introductions or you could say roasting of the wedding party. Amber & Adam spent a lot of time providing me with detailed information at our 1st meeting at La Flama Restaurant in Farmville over dinner.

For our 2nd & 3rd meeting at my home they gave me even more, in a casual & stress free planning setting that seemed more like hanging out with friends than work.

All this planning made for some great & personal introductions that set the pace for the rest of the night. Amber, Adam, and their wedding party worked just as hard on their “Rock the reception” dance which in one word was AMAZING. Amber & Adam’s 1st dance was Kenny Chesney’s “Me & You” The Father Daughter dance and Mother Son dance were “You Decorated My Life” and “Because You Loved Me.”   The bridal party’s official song was Ja Rule’s “Put It On Me.” Ring bearer, Shawn’s “knock knock joke” (orange banana) was hilarious.

It was an honor to work with such a great group of people. Thanks Amber & Adam for an awesome night.

ADJA: Charlotte, NC – Press Release

Charlotte, NC Chapter Wins National Recognition

Local Association Named Chapter of the Year

Charlotte, NC – February 15,2010- Disc Jockey entertainers from across the nation converged on Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the annual Mobile Beat DJ convention. When festivities wound down, the Charlotte NC chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association had been recognized as the 2009 Chapter of the Year.

Charlotte ADJA Founder and Past President Brian Hines said many elements contributed to the prestigious award. “Although the chapter is approaching just it’s 2nd year of existence, ADJA members have already been privy to a nationally-recognized industry speakers such as Mike Walter, Troy Ackerman, Peter Merry, Scott Faver and National ADJA President Dr. Drax. These speakers along with other local, regional and national representatives spoke on a wide range of informative topics to enhance the efficiency and profitability of DJ entertainers in the Tarheel State.”

In announcing the award, National ADJA Secretary Brian Graham recognized the Charlotte chapter for the successful hosting of the Mobile Beat Summer Tour. The road show, meant as a pre-cursor mini-convention of last week’s Las Vegas event, came to Charlotte in August and drew more than 100 area DJs for seminars, gear demonstrations and networking. Organizers of the Mobile Beat Tour say the Charlotte ADJA chapter was “the grand champion among all chapters, drawing more attendees than any other stop”.

Graham said the Charlotte chapter was also instrumental in 2009′s National Association of Catering Executives Convention held last summer at the Westin. Founder and Past President Brian Hines served on the NACE Planning Committee while other Charlotte chapter ADJA members served as seminar facilitators. For the first time ever, NACE opted to utilize DJ entertainment for their closing gala. ADJA member Mark Pezzela and Five-Star Entertainment’s impressive presentation of sound, lighting and video had NACE members packing the dance floor through the group’s grand finale.
