SIMPLE RUSTIC DJ SET UP –

I am versatile. I have done a couple of country / rustic weddings over the last few weeks and had NO problem dropping the tech look to make it work. Rather than my regular sweet DJ booth, I went for the barrel look here at a fun wedding at Burlap and Beams of Athol, NY.

This venue had some great old barrels available and we took advantage of it and made it work! A rustic theme can really make your wedding a success.

BARN VENUES – There are a few great “barn” venues in the Albany, NY area to consider, if wanting this rustic feel.  One as we said is Burlap & Beams. ANother is Pat’s Barn in Troy NY , and another is The Pruyn House in Latham, NY.

Here are a few pictures to give you some ideas.

PUTTING YOUR STAMP ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY WITH POSTCARDS

Postcards. Something fun to always get in the mail to see what your friends are up to. What a better way to offer a fun guest book  alternative to all your friends and family at your wedding?

You know the deal. A traditional wedding guest book becomes just a list of names in a binder that you end up throwing into your attic and probably never look at again. Here is in idea that can really make this part of your wedding produce a cherished memory.

I recently saw this idea at Pat’s Barn in Troy, NY and thought it was great. It’s a simple one, but one of the best I have seen in a long time.  All you really need is a mailbox, some bulk postcards, a chalkboard and some markers.

Bring A Blast Of Bright Color & Fun

If you are not familiar with uplights and you are planning a party, it is certainly something to consider.

WHAT ARE UPLIGHTS? Typically, uplights are used to bring some color to a drab wall, or to create a soft atmosphere in a classy setting. However, they can also be used to make your party more fun as a decoration.

MODERN LED UPLIGHTS – No longer do we use those old “cans” where you needed to put a plastic sheet over the lens to get the desired color. Now, we can program literally ANY color you can imagine, and the lights burn cold. (Old “can lights” would get really hot and couldn’t beleft on for hours.)

To the side, you can see how we added two green uplights to this beach-theme party to really dress it up and make it fun! Below this blog are some more picture ideas of how you can make uplights work for your event!
