Nathan Kabat - Wedding DJ

Throwback to a wedding from the best month of the year (September is my birthday month haha) and a very kind review! Lots of singalongs and got into some rock music too for this epic dancefloor 🤘🤘

I don’t think it’s a surprise that as a DJ, I’m also a music lover. I decided I wanted to do something small each month to ‘catalog’ new music that makes me smile, or groove, or just generally fits my personal vibes. I also decided to make some of these finds publicly available on Spotify if you want to participate in a small piece of my music discovery. Each month (except January, RIP) this year and going forward will have the cream of the crop collected into a 45-60 min playlist. If you’d like some links leave a comment below and I’ll send em to ya :) my hope is that you’d find something new you’ve never heard before, possibly alongside some familiar favorites that I also happen to love.

Sharing some more moments and kind words from an electric celebration last summer!

It’s no secret that music => memories, especially if you and all your friends can participate by singing along! I will definitely join along and might get ‘caught’ (photographed) in the act lol. What can I say, the energy is contagious when the vibes are right!

Let’s get after it this year!

Grateful to share a great review from an amazing wedding last fall in Biggsville!
As soon as I got off the final planning zoom call I knew Maureen and Ethan’s vision for the dancefloor - these guys had lots of fun and unique requests and gave me so many ideas to work with for their music 🎧 I had a total blast 💥 5th slide is the definition of locked in faces, haha :)
thanks for sharing some pics and capturing all the good vibes!

Appreciation post for some of my favorite DJ tools, especially the tape :) Gaff tape holds the cables down and makes it safe for guests to come back to chat or give song requests to me, and no tripping! It also just has a **chef kiss ** vibe when it’s all prettied up!

Special shoutout to for my DJ booth, has been really fun using this wedding season, hoping to make a full long-term review this fall for my DJ friends!

Lighting up most of my dance floors this year has been , happy user here! Great customer service ✅✅✅

And last what kind of DJ would I be without speakers? have a tried-and true equipment lineup and this combo has served me well for especially my larger weddings and events.

That’s all for now! Happy heat wave 🔥🔥🔥

THIS is a Knapp Creek Wedding dance under the lights!! This is the energy we bring to each and every wedding here 🔥
I am SO SO SO grateful for the opportunity to DJ here, thank you so much to all my amazing couples for choosing to host your big day at Knapp Creek this year :) and a special shoutout to and for bringing such a hype crew to this dancefloor 🏀🏈

For all my DJ friends, all I have to say is Dual 21” subs are the 💣 and you should absolutely check this place out ‼️

Let’s break down everything in this photo!

1. A good joke being applauded
2. Smiles from the bride 😀
3. On-point floral, greenery and decor
4. A beautiful venue setting the vibe.

There’s two details I’ll highlight that I had a direct impact on for the event!
1. Rock solid wireless tech to ensure a smooth speaking and listening experience during toasts
2. Accent lighting to create an even more immersive atmosphere for the couple and guests.

Many thanks to for the photo and to for the picturesque setting!

If you’re a fellow DJ and want to see how I run my microphones and lighting, comment “MIC!”
