My very first wedding of 2017 was this weekend at The Shadowbrook in ShrewsburyKate and Jason got married there (we provided the music for the ceremony) then celebrated with their family and friends.  I worked very closely with this couple and they had some specific requests but they also left a lot of the programming up to me.

Kate and Jason did a choreographed dance for their first dance that brought the house down. Their guests loved it and I have to say they were pretty flawless.

Then after the toasts it was my turn to get everyone up and the mood in the room was upbeat from the very beginning.  Everyone danced and partied all night long.

The Shadowbrook has been under new ownership the last few years and I just love the changes they’ve implemented  The new marble tiling throughout the first floor is beautiful and they run a very organized event.  The Maitre d’ was Brittany and she was easy to work with and kept me informed about all the special events.  She was also flexible when need be.  When she was ready to cut cake, for example, I had the dance floor packed and she gave me an extra five minutes without me even asking.

I also had the pleasure of working with Thomas Quinn from Expressive Image.  I’ve worked with Tom many many times throughout the years and it’s always a pleasure.  He’s a true professional who takes amazing pictures and is very easy to work with.  Thanks Tom for sending me the images I’ve used in this blog.  If you’d like to see more click here for a photo album on the Expressive Image Facebook page.

I can only hope every wedding this year is as awesome as Kate and Jason’s.  They were a great couple to work with and their family and friends really knew how to celebrate their big day.  As a DJ, you can’t ask for much more than that!

Kate was so nice to give me this awesome Wedding Wire review.
