The tradition of a wedding cake comes from ancient Rome, where
revelers broke a loaf of bread over a bride's head for fertility's
sake.The custom of tiered cakes emerged from a game where the bride and
groom attempted to kiss over an ever-higher cake without knocking it
over.
In many cultures around the world -- including Celtic, Hindu and
Egyptian weddings -- the hands of a bride and groom are literally tied together
to demonstrate the couple's commitment to each other and their new bond as a
married couple (giving us the popular phrase "tying the knot").

I've been a Capitol Region Radio Personality for many years and have been hosting wedding receptions and parties for almost as many... one of the first in this area.
I started learning the skills and techniques I use to "keep the dance floor busy" playing at high school dances all over the region and when DJs became more and more accepted at local wedding receptions, I really became a pioneer in what soon became a wedding craze!
My unique presentation along with years of entertaining on the radio, make me one of the truest professional DJs in the area and it's not just a part-time weekend job. I live and breathe music and entertaining and my quick thinking at live events has saved many from sinking when someone less experienced might panic. This is where many years of experience really pay off!
I bring to every event a collection of digital music from the 40s through today and requests are not a problem. My main concern is "can you dance to it?" 'cause long after dinner is over and the formalities are done, it's the electricity of the party that caps off your special day! And the last thing you need is someone inexperienced who's going to play that one song that totally kills the mood. Doesn't your party deserve the benefit of such experience??
Former Morning Show radio host on Star 101.3 and B95.5.
Doesn't your event deserve someone with this kind of experience? Don't trust it to just any DJ...call me to book now!
