November was easily the busiest November Platinum Mix has ever had. In all the years past, business would come to a screeching halt starting November 1st, but this year we had plenty of weddings and several of our corporate clients had their holiday parties a little earlier.

The first of our holiday party season was held Nov. 17th at the Kensington Court for an Ann Arbor Dentist office. It was kinda weird seeing holiday decorations before Thanksgiving (shouldn't there be a law against that??). I kept my fingers crossed the whole time, praying the guests wouldn't request christmas music and thankfully, nobody did.

Jennifer and Kevin gave lotto tickets as their favors at their 11-11 wedding, great idea!

Lots of people ask us what the custom gobo light option is. A gobo is a pattern, image or text that we can project anywhere you want at your event. They are great for displaying a company’s logo at corporate events or tradeshows and plenty of wedding clients add them into their DJ service too. Joy and Michael sent me a copy of their invitations, and then their initials printed on the invitations were scanned into the computer and sent to a company that makes gobos, and then we put the gobo into a projection type light. Here is Joy and Michael’s:

A bonus to having your wedding in December is all the free decorations you
get (though, that's assuming you're cool with Christmas trees, wreaths, and
Christmas lights). John and Kristin totally had a Christmas-ey theme going at the Dec. 2nd wedding. They even had a cupcake tree:

I think the bridal party may have broken the Platinum Mix "HUGEST bridal party" record previously held by Kelly & Kyle (5-21-05). Check out the line-up:
1 usher
7 flower girls/ring bearers
8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen
plus the bride and groom

that makes a grand total of 26!

Kristin and John had their wedding at Vladimir's in Farmington. By very strange
coincidence, this is my 2nd week in a row here (and I don't think I've played
Vladimir’s since maybe 2003?). Last week, I was here for a 10 year class reunion which
made me feel old. 10 year high school reunion means they graduated in 1996. I graduated in 1997. What on earth have I been doing since the 10 years since high school!!??!! Despite being a little depressed about the sudden realization that I’m aging, I'll admit it was a blast playing all that 90's music!
