“Wedding season” has officially begun! Yay! Time to get ready to be crazy busy! For Platinum Mix, it really started for us last weekend. April 14th turned out to be a lot busier than expected with the addition of 2 last-minute DJ bookings. So we ended up with 5 DJs out plus 2 videographers. Not too shabby for mid-April….(at least for us!).

Latest News: Carl has been promoted to Field Supervisor. I am really excited about this! Platinum Mix has always had a decent back-up program, but my big concern was it wasn’t consistent enough. We would have DJs scheduled for back-up, but instead of actually being prepared for emergencies, they would be hanging out playing video games enjoying their Saturday night off….not a good solution. So by having a full-time back-up DJ who is also a supervisor, we can now offer a more professional and consistent emergency back-up system to our clients. Carl has over 20 years experience as a DJ. He can handle any type of event and any kind of music. Knowing he is out there spot-checking all of our events, and available in case somebody breaks their arm on Friday night, makes me feel soooooooo much more relaxed.

Shout-out to Vena & Mike who were married Friday the 13th at Devil’s Ridge in Oxford. Friday the 13th, Devil’s Ridge….get it? Cool huh? They completed the theme with black & red colors, and the most creative card box I’ve ever seen – check out the picture in our Hot Shots photo galleries. The groom made it! Vena & Mike were really cute together, easy-going and fun to work with. Their first dance (Seether ft. Amy Lee “Broken”) and last dance (Metallica “Nothing Else Matters”), was stuck in my head for 2 days. Great songs. Both make me want to start playing guitar again. Especially “Nothing Else Matters”. I liked their photographer selection too. Alison Bates from Bates Photographic and Design. Alison and her assistant worked really hard, took a ton of pictures and captured some fantastic images for Vena and Mike. And she’s cool too. You can check out some of her photographs on her website located here.

Nicole and Jason’s wedding was fun too. I have to thank their Maid of Honor Rebecca for hooking me up with them…actually I have to thank Rebecca for hooking me up with like 3 or 4 of her engaged friends. I should probably give Rebecca a part-time job doing Platinum Mix sales. Lol. Thanks Rebecca! You’re the best! My favorite part about Nicole and Jason’s wedding was the bridal party intros. Normally, the bridal party is introduced and then they go directly to the head table, sit down, toasts are given and then dinner is served. Nicole wanted her guests to dance after the bridal party was introduced. So we had all the bridal party come in and head to the dance floor, then when the bride and groom were introduced, all the guests came out to join them. I thought that was unique and much more fun! The wedding was at the Roostertail, which as always, was amazing. Love working at that place!
