Michelle & Ryan at Woodvale Hall

A Friday Night Rocker!!! at Woodvale Community Hall.
It is always enjoyable to be an Edmonton Disc Jockey at Woodvale Hall. This Edmonton venue is more than just a community hall it is one of the best places in Edmonton to hold a wedding. Add in the fact that Fong and his staff could compete with the staff at the Hotel MacDonald you have the best of both worlds; an afforable wedding venue and staff that work hard to make sure all in attenance are happy.
Michelle and Ryan went all out with the decorations in the room and this truly changed the look and feel of the room. With a head table back drop right through to the chair covers and ties they turned this room into a beautiful place to hold a function.
One of the highlights was the candy table. Instead of favours the bride and groom had a table of candy where veryone could fill there bag with what every treats they would like. At times people were lined up 5 deep to get some treats.
Dinner at Woodvale Hall is always very well done and that night it was amazing. There were so many things to pick from on the buffet line I needed a larger plate.
Speeches followed dinner and they were very well done. This summer as an Edmonton Wedding DJ keeps surprising me as people are so very well spoken. The other thing that has impressed me is that guests are dressing up again. Blue jeans should not be allowed at almost any function, and on this night I don’t think there was a pair insight.
We then go the dance under way right after the slide show and I am always a little concerned about doing a party on a Friday night. People have worked all day and have been awake since early that morning. Saturday weddings allow people to sleep in and have a full set of batteries from the tiime they roll in the door. The groom and bride again did it right. They had an open bar, which allowed for the guests to cut loose and not worry about spending a huge amount of money on drinks as some venues are now charging $6 – $7 per drink.
All I can really say about the dance is WOW!!! It was a great party led by the bride and groom that were on the dance floor a good chunk of the night. We had a great time with everyone loving the songs they could sing along to and the classics. The dance went until about 1:30 and everyone that stayed had a lot of fun.
Please take a look at some highlights of the Edmonton DJ Wedding.
Redtail Landing Ceremony & Wedding Reception – Kelly & Justin
01016 days
August 2, 2009
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
DJ Services at Terra Losa Seniors Centre – Deborah & Eric

It was a hot day and I am glad we had air conditioning tonight at the Terra Losa Seniors Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. This is a great community hall that holds about 200 maximum and that is what we had for this wedding. It is always great to play here the load in is pretty good with a ramp out the front door and a deck on 2 sides of the building with a great view of the lake.
The M/C’s did a great job of leading the night. One of the two M/C’s used to be a DJ and he had great microphones skills.
Dinner was very good; expect the caterer ran out of porgies for almost 15 minutes right at the end of the line. And to make things worse they ran out of sour crème and ended up using did for those 10 of us left at the end of the line. I am not it the caterer is a little new or everyone brought there appetite.
Speeches were very well done with the highlight being a PowerPoint slide show that the Maid-of-honor spoke throughout and it was hilarious the way she did it. The bride and groom ended off speeches and they remember to thank me which is often over looked as I really have not done too much until this part of the night.
The dance started off with a traditional first dance and mother/son and father/daughter dance. We ended the formal dances with the wedding party and then we were off to the races. Even though it was one of the hottest days of the summer this year everyone dance the night away. Being an Edmonton DJ is a great thing to be when everyone is willing to get out on to the dance floor you can create a great party and that is exactly how things played out that night.
The only thing is that they shut me down about 12:30 as the hall wants everyone out by 1:00 AM. I was a little upset as no one wants to go home when they are having a good time and we for sure could have gone for another hour.
I would like to thank Deborah and Eric for going the extra distance. On Monday I got a great phone call thanking me for helping create what they called a great evening where everyone that came had a great time. This really met a lot to me, THANX.
Fort Saskatchewan Wedding – Lori and Eugene
01030 days
June 13, 2009
Lori & Eugene did a great job of decorating the Fort Legion, I can not remember the last time it look this good.
Being an Edmonton Wedding DJ has taken me to many small towns and those often prove to be some of the best parties.
It was a great time, made better by the fact that there was people there that I new as friends or people that I had done weddings for in the past.
The speaches we very well done and even the little flower girl had some great words of advice for the bride and groom.
The dance got going and it was a rocker. Everyone willing to get out on the dance floor and have a good time. The bridal party was reved up and led the way on the dance floor. The party never stopped all night and would have went well into the morning but the venue pulled the plug and we ended on a high note at about 1 AM.
Please see some highlights with my very new Canon 5D mark 2 camera. Lots of fun in the parking lot.
