Dollar for dollar, Pound for pound,  one of the best parties ever.

I have been an Edmonton DJ for almost 10 years and this past weekend was the 1st time I have ever been in the same room 2 nights in a row.

RedTail Landing is a great place to DJ and even made better when you get to leave your gear there over night.  The day started out with an outdoor ceremony and the weather looked a little iffy but it all came together for a beautiful ceremony.  The highlight of the ceremony was when one of the bridesmaids sang during the signing of the registry. WOW!!!

After the ceremony there was a short reception outside and by about 6 pm we were all back in the main room awaiting another great meal and RedTail Landing.  I have been to RedTail a few times and Dean knows I am a bit of a picky eater and made sure that a piece of chicken was BBQ’d up for me.  Thanks Dean, I don’t know of any other venue that works to make sure the venders are looked after.

The speeches were extremely well done some of the funniest I can remember. 

We then went into the dance and earlier that day I was chatting with Dean and Steve and we were talking about how much harder it is to do parties that are under 100 people.  This party had a total of 62 guests and it was on a Sunday night.  We took a friendlybet as to the time the party would go to.  Steve said 11:30, Dean said 12:30 and I took 1 AM.  Boy, it sure feels good to be right.  The dance started out great and never let up all night.  We started with 60 people and ended with over 30.  Kelly and Justin loved to dance and Justin was on the dance floor more than Kelly, usually it is the bride that dances more than the groom.  The song of the night was “Kung Fu Fighting” and when the groomsmen were doing all the karate moves I was almost on the floor from laughing. 

What surprised me even more was that fact that they were not big drinkers and just loved to have a good time.

Edmonton Wedding Highlights

Leduc Junior High is one of my favorite places to DJ.  With the best staff I have ever worked with I consider myself lucky to be a part of their special events.  I am treated like family every time I am with the staff and students at Leduc Junior High.

This year’s grade 9 farewell was one of the best.  All the students showed up well dressed and ready to have a great time.  You can tell that this is a great place to go to school as the kids are very well behaved and I have no problems DJing there.

We began the night with O Canada that was performed by 3 very talented students that did a very nice job of our national anthem.

The evening was hosted by two very well spoken students that did a great job of MCing the night.

The Principle of the school, as always, did a great job of sending the students off and providing some great words of wisdom as the students get ready to head off to grade 10 next year.

The evening was closed out with a great slide show that covered the entire school year and this year they moved from power point to a digital format that made for a very nice ending to the evening.

The Dance

The dance gets started and we start the night off with social dances.  This is one of very few schools that has dancing as a part of the phys-ed ciriculum and it GREAT.  The students all have to participate and right from the get go they are all on the dance floor having a great time.  From Fishin’ in the Dark to O Johnny they are all signing the words and having a great time.  What is funny that there are more kids on the dance floor for the social dance songs then when I was playing a request like Poker Face.

What suprised me the most about this time a Leduc Junior High as as the night went by the kids started asking for more of the social dance songs and when I played them they all go their partners and hit the dance floor.

 A big thanx to the teachers and staff at Leduc Junior High, I hope that more schools follow in your foots steps of doing more than the minumum.  Have a great summer and Looking forward to see you at Christmas.
