April 8, 2023 - Fun and Posh Wedding at Ritz Charles

We were thrilled to DJ a wedding on April 8, 2023, at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, Indiana! The wedding was a fun and laid-back affair, and the couple trusted us to provide the majority of the music for the night. We're happy to report that we packed the dance floor all night long with a wide variety of music, from classics from the 70s to the latest club hits.


We also provided uplighting and a photo booth for the evening. The uplighting added a beautiful ambiance to the room, while the photo booth provided a fun and interactive experience for the guests. It was great to see everyone having so much fun and making memories that will last a lifetime.


 We were also honored to work alongside some amazing vendors who helped make the wedding a success.


Jenny Reber served as the coordinator for the wedding, and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. Jenny was attentive, responsive, and made sure that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond to make the wedding a success.


We also had the pleasure of working with Curious Courtneys Photography for the first time. Their pictures are absolutely stunning and they captured so many beautiful moments from the wedding. We were thrilled with their work and look forward to working with them again in the future.


In addition to our DJ services, we had a Boba Tea bar from Latea Bubble Tea Lounge, which was a huge hit with the guests. The bar provided delicious and refreshing beverages throughout the night, and everyone loved trying out the different flavors.


Overall, this was an amazing wedding, and we were honored to be a part of it.
