Congratulations to Jacob and Alexis Kuhlins on a beautiful wedding day!

Every wedding has its memorable moments, but the image that will stay with me from this one happened at the very end of the night during their private last dance.

I've been fortunate to witness hundreds of couples share that final moment together, but I don't know that I've ever smiled quite as much as I did watching Jacob and Alexis. The two of them are so playful with one another. Their joy, their laughter, and the way they interacted throughout that dance were absolutely contagious.

The entire day was wonderful from beginning to end, but that last dance perfectly captured who they are as a couple. They genuinely enjoy being together, and it shows.

Thank you both for allowing me to be part of such a special day. Wishing you a lifetime of laughter, happiness, and many more dances together.

After 700 weddings, I have acquired a very particular set of skills.

I can identify the relationship between two guests who have never spoken to me based solely on where they choose to sit.

I can tell whether dinner is running 15 minutes behind schedule from 100 yards away.

I know exactly which centerpiece is going to get knocked over.

I can predict the weather with greater accuracy than several mobile apps simply by observing a bride's hair at 2:00 PM.

I can estimate the age of a guest by watching their reaction to the opening notes of "Sweet Caroline."

I can locate the mother of the bride in a crowded room faster than most search-and-rescue teams.

I know that whenever someone says, "This should only take a minute," it absolutely will not.

And I have learned that the phrase, "Don't worry, everybody knows what they're doing," should worry everyone.

None of these skills appear on my website.

Perhaps they should.

Congratulations, Paul and Janine Drockton!

Over the years, I have worked with many couples who were relaxed, easygoing, and determined that their wedding day be filled with joy rather than stress. In fact, I've been fortunate to work with several couples like that already this year.

But I honestly don't know that I have ever worked with a couple quite as casual, carefree, and genuinely comfortable in their own skin as Paul and Janine.

Before the ceremony had even begun, Janine spotted me standing there in my usual wedding attire: dress shirt, tie, and all the trappings of looking like a professional wedding DJ. She looked at me and asked if I had any other clothes in my car because it was simply too hot for me to be dressed like that.

I laughed and told her I had a pair of Nikes and a Sandy Springs Brewing Company T-shirt in the car. I had bought the shirt to wear while hosting trivia on Tuesday nights in Minerva, but for the past two weeks I had completely forgotten to bring it into the house.

"Go put it on," she said.

I asked if she was sure.

She said yes.

I asked again.

She said yes.

I asked a third time because, let's be honest, there is a big difference between dressing business casual and DJing a wedding reception while advertising a brewery across your chest.

She said yes again.

So here I am, DJing a wedding in Hiram wearing a Sandy Springs Brewing Company T-shirt, and absolutely nobody seems to care.

In fact, everyone is smiling.

Everyone is dancing.

Everyone is having a wonderful time.

And I think that perfectly captures the spirit of this wedding.

There is no performance here. No pressure. No expectations beyond enjoying one another's company and celebrating two wonderful people who are clearly loved by everyone in the room. Everyone is simply being themselves, and that has created one of the most comfortable and authentic wedding atmospheres I can remember.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the first dance.

I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of first dances over the years. Some couples take lessons. Some sway. Some survive. Some thrive.

Paul and Janine absolutely stole the show.

For four straight minutes they delivered the most impressive choreographed first dance I have ever witnessed as a wedding DJ. Dips. Lifts. Twirls. Spins. Seamless transitions. Perfect timing. This wasn't a couple nervously trying to remember what they learned in a few lessons. These two looked like they had been dancing together forever.

It was spectacular.

And because I am apparently incapable of anticipating greatness when it appears right in front of me, I didn't record a second of it.

Not one.

By the time I realized what was happening, I was too busy standing there with everyone else, watching in complete amazement.

Before I wrap this up, I want to give a well-deserved shoutout to a couple of the other vendors who helped make tonight so memorable.

First, a huge shoutout to Corner's Catering out of Mantua. I have eaten wedding food hundreds of times over the years, and I am not exaggerating when I say that tonight I had THE most tender roast beef I have ever eaten in my life. It practically melted the moment it touched the fork. Had there been no witnesses, I might have quietly wheeled the entire pan back to my DJ booth and spent the evening guarding it like a dragon protecting treasure. Thankfully, professionalism prevailed. Barely.

I also had the pleasure of working alongside wedding photographer Alexis Masters. How our paths have never crossed before is anybody's guess. In this business, you eventually expect to run into everyone. Yet somehow tonight was our first time working together. Alexis was fantastic, and one of the highlights of my evening was simply sitting down during dinner and enjoying a conversation with a fellow wedding professional who clearly loves what she does. Great photographer, great personality, and hopefully not the last wedding we'll share together.

Looking around tonight, that's really what made this celebration so memorable. Amazing guests. Wonderful vendors. Incredible food. A beautiful setting. And at the center of it all, two people who never seemed interested in putting on a show or creating a perfect social media moment. They simply wanted everyone around them to enjoy themselves.

And somehow, that made everything feel perfect.

Thank you, Paul and Janine, for allowing me to be part of such a memorable day. Your kindness, your warmth, your incredible energy, and your refreshingly relaxed approach to weddings have made this a celebration I won't soon forget.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Drockton. I wish you a lifetime filled with as much happiness, laughter, and effortless joy as you've shared with everyone here tonight.

Congratulations, Michael and Chyenne Harris!

I am actually writing this while DJing your wedding reception, which probably tells everyone everything they need to know about the kind of night we're having.

Last weekend, I waited too long to take my customary photo with my couples and paid the price. On Saturday, I missed the opportunity entirely. On Sunday, I managed to find the bride, but the groom had already vanished into the night. This weekend, I learned my lesson. Photos were taken early. Problem solved.

And what a night it has been.

You two have been absolutely relentless on the dance floor. When most couples are ready for a break, you're asking for more music. When most receptions begin winding down, you're adding extra hours. Five straight hours of high-energy dance music is no joke, especially when that music is full-on club tracks from start to finish. Somehow, you've not only survived it, you've led the charge. The dance floor has been packed all night, and the energy in this room has been incredible. I honestly don't know where you find the stamina, but I suspect tomorrow morning may answer that question. Talking with the owner here at The Venue at Greentree, she told me she has never seen a wedding quite like yours. Believe me, it was a compliment. She and I are both in awe at how invested you are in the dance floor. Man, I wish I had your energy. 😅

As much fun as the party has been, what I'll remember most is the two of you. You are genuinely one of the sweetest, most accommodating couples I've had the pleasure of working with. Watching you together tonight has been a joy. The smiles, the laughter, the way you throw yourselves into every moment—it's impossible not to root for you. Thank you for trusting me to be part of such an amazing celebration. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and just enough energy to recover from tonight.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Harris!

If you've been wondering whether I fell off the face of the earth these past two weeks, I assure you I have not.

I've disappeared down the blog-writing rabbit hole. I am currently trapped in an undisclosed location with a laptop, an unceasing stream of coffee, a newly acquired tick from said coffee, and an unreasonable number of blog posts.

While everyone else was enjoying sunshine and fresh air, I've been migrating two years' worth of blog content to the new website. That, in itself, would excuse my long absence, but because I am me, the task is more involved than copying and pasting from the old site. Never happy with my earliest blog posts, I have been relentlessly researching, rewriting, proofreading, editing, second-guessing commas, restoring commas, deleting commas again, and occasionally staring at a blinking cursor while questioning every life choice that led me here.

Gail keeps telling me to get some sleep. And I will, when the last blog post has been added.

The good news? The blog is growing. The website is growing. The backlog of stories from nearly three decades behind the DJ booth is finally making its way onto the page.

The bad news? I now have strong opinions about things nobody should have strong opinions about, including garter history, tuxedo suspenders, cake toppers, the Irish Goodbye, the Dirty Dancing lift, and the sociological impact of "You Can Call Me Al."

So yes, I'm still here. Still DJing weddings. Still hosting trivia. Still meeting couples. I've just spent the last couple of weeks writing enough words to be mistaken for a 19th century Russian novelist.

New blog posts are coming. Lots of them. Whether that's good news or a cry for help remains to be seen.

If you haven't seen the new website yet, stop by and take a look.

Congratulations, Misty and Terry Roudebush!

Sometimes things have a funny way of working out exactly as they're supposed to.

A little over two months ago, I was scheduled to DJ a wedding in Norwalk on June 6. When that wedding canceled, the date suddenly opened up on my calendar. Three weeks ago, Misty reached out and filled the vacancy. We met for the first time just three days before the wedding, and I didn't meet Terry until last night. Despite the short timeline, everything came together beautifully.

From the moment I sat down with Misty, I could tell this wedding was going to be different. There was no desire to overcomplicate things or turn the day into a production. Instead, Misty and Terry embraced a simple philosophy that many couples could learn from: less is more. They focused on what mattered, trusted the process, and allowed the day to unfold naturally. The result was a wedding that felt relaxed, genuine, and completely centered on the people and relationships that brought everyone together.

The celebration took place at A Cord of Three in Hanoverton, and what a remarkable venue it is. Set inside a beautifully restored nineteenth-century schoolhouse, it is filled with character, history, and charm. It was my first opportunity to work there, and I spent much of the evening admiring what they have created. I sincerely hope last night was the first of many weddings I have the privilege of DJing there.

Misty and Terry, thank you for trusting me with such an important day on such short notice. It was a joy watching everything come together and seeing how effortlessly the two of you enjoyed every moment.

At the end of every wedding, I have a tradition. Before I pack up, I always take a photo with the newlyweds, but it has been a difficult weekend getting those photos. 😅 i didn't get the chance to take a photo with my couple on Friday night at all. Then, last night, when it came time for that picture, I went looking for Terry and couldn't find him anywhere. Whether he was saying goodbye to family, helping clean up, or simply vanished into the night remains a mystery. Fortunately, Misty was much easier to locate, so last night's photo was a moment shared between DJ and bride alone.

Congratulations again, Terry and Misty! I wish you both a lifetime of laughter, happiness, and countless wonderful memories together. ❤️

Tonight, I am DJing the first of five 2026 weddings at Fellows Riverside Gardens in Youngstown.

It's funny to me how I can go so long without working a venue—my last wedding here at Riverside was in 2022—and then work it so many times in one season.

This is the summer of Youngstown, I guess. I also have weddings this year at The Lake Club, Provence Mills, and B&O Station, as well as weddings in Canfield, Warren, Niles, and Austintown...maybe one across state lines, too; I am currently talking with a future bride in Hermitage, PA.

JJ and Taylor,

After 28 years and hundreds upon hundreds of weddings, it becomes increasingly difficult to surprise me.

You two managed it anyway.

Your wedding at The Stables at 1885 Farms was one of the most unusual, creative, entertaining, and downright fun celebrations I have ever had the privilege of being part of. Part festival, part carnival, part backyard chill, it featured bubbles, piñatas, karaoke, canoes, a magician, a caricaturist, and a canine ring bearer. And a two man, Best Men toast that had me still laughing out loud long after it had finished. Every time I turned around, something unexpected was happening. And somehow, despite having enough moving parts to fill an entire wedding season, everything felt authentically and unmistakably you.

Then there was JJ's mother-son dance.

When I first saw the song choices on paper, I admit I had questions. Beginning with Ludacris's "Move B****" as she hilariously chased Taylor away before transitioning into Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings," it sounded like one of those ideas that could either become legendary or spectacularly miss the mark. Without question, it landed exactly as intended. The room erupted with laughter, the comedic timing was perfect, and it became one of those wedding moments that guests will still be talking about years from now.

And while we're discussing highlights, I have to mention the cupcakes. In nearly three decades of weddings, I have eaten more wedding cake than any human being reasonably should. Those cupcakes may have been the best dessert I have ever had at a wedding. Ever.

I also need to give a shoutout to JJ's sister. In all my years in this industry, I have never had any desire to hire employees. Not once. But if she lived in Ohio instead of Michigan, I would have made an exception without hesitation. Her dream job is to DJ, and after spending time with her, I can confidently say she has the personality, energy, confidence, charisma, and musical knowledge to pull it off. She is cool as hell, and our industry could use more people like her.

Most importantly, though, this day was about the two of you. Your wedding was joyful, unconventional, unforgettable, and overflowing with personality. It was a celebration that refused to fit neatly into a box, and it was all the better because of it.

Thank you for trusting me to be part of such an incredible day. If someone manages to top this wedding before the end of the year, I'll be genuinely shocked.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Lawley. What a wedding. What a party. What a start to your next chapter!

Some love stories begin with a swipe, a chance encounter, or a lucky introduction. Payton and Hayden Herman's began in the second grade.

From childhood friends to twelve-year-old sweethearts to husband and wife, their story is the kind that reminds everyone why people still believe in true love. Watching the two of them together on Friday at The Barn of Canal Fulton, it was impossible not to smile. They are absolutely adorable together, and more importantly, they are so clearly meant for one another. The way they look at each other, laugh together, and move through the world as a team speaks volumes about the relationship they have built over the years.

A special mention also has to go to Payton's father, who delivered what may very well be the Father of the Bride Toast of the Year. Funny, heartfelt, sincere, and unforgettable—it was the perfect tribute to his daughter and her new husband. And the late-night Taco Bell run? An inspired decision that was met with the enthusiasm of a crowd that had danced every ounce of energy out of themselves.

Payton and Hayden, your reception was every bit as memorable as your love story. The dance floor never stopped. Not for a song. Not for a break. Not for a breather. For more than three hours, guests packed themselves into one massive dance circle and celebrated alongside you with the kind of energy wedding DJs dream about. It was one of those rare nights where nobody wanted the party to end.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of such an incredible day. Your wedding was filled with joy, laughter, family, friendship, and a dance floor that simply would not quit. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Herman. After all these years, your next chapter is finally here, and I couldn't be happier for the two of you!

Congratulations to Nicholas and Mila Haas on an absolutely beautiful wedding celebration this past Saturday at The Barn at Enchanted Acres in Dennison, Ohio.

There was something wonderfully unforced about your wedding day. No one was trying too hard. No moment felt manufactured. The laughter was real, the conversations lingered, the dance floor grew naturally instead of being pushed into existence, and the entire celebration carried the kind of emotional ease that couples spend months hoping their wedding will have. It felt less like a production and more like a room full of people genuinely happy to share in something meaningful.

And once the party truly took off, this crowd came alive. The dance floor stayed in constant motion, the energy never dipped, and every transition seemed to pull more people into the celebration instead of away from it. Those are the weddings DJs remember long after the speakers are packed away and the lights come down.

Nicholas and Mila, thank you for trusting me to be part of such an important day in your lives. You, your families, your guests, and the atmosphere you created made Saturday one I will remember for a very long time. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with peace, laughter, joy, adventure, and the kind of partnership that makes ordinary days feel meaningful and fabulous. Lots of love and best wishes to you both! ❤️
