7 Unforgettable Weddings.

Snyder Entertainment had a completely booked weekend, and our team wouldn't have it any other way. Celebrating happy ever after, toasting the newlywed couples, dancing in our bare-feet, hoping in photo booths, playing music until midnight, capturing incredible moments, planning surprises with one of our brides, a teary-eyed speech by the father of the bride, a bridal party made up of party animals, extended cocktail hours, sunshine, sparkler send offs.. it's all a part of what we love doing. Read about all of the weddings below, see pictures, meet photographers, and take a peek into our world for a minute. We think you'll like what you find..


5.20.16

Couple: Erin + Jonathan

Venue: Mint Springs Farm

DJ: Brian Snyder

Music Mixer: Andy Dozier

Photographers: Greg & Jess Photography

Highlights: Dusty rose bridesmaid dresses, a beautiful bride, and the gorgeous weather when the rain finally cleared made for the perfect excuse to extend their cocktail hour enjoying the outdoors while Greg & Jess captured sweet moments of the newlywed couple. Erin danced with her father to Stevie Wonder's hit song, "Isn't She Lovely," and then this couple, their bridal party, friends and family gathered on the dance floor to dance to Bruno Mars, Coldplay, and Blink 182. They ended the night dancing to "Tenerife Sea" by Ed Sheeran. So. Sweet. Congratulations Erin + Jonathan!


5.21.16

Couple: Michael + Anna Claire

Venue: Private Residence

DJ: Michael Davis

Music Mixer: Casey Davis

Highlights: This couple had love, family + friends surrounding them, and Snyder Entertainment's photo booth and DJ setup at a private residence in Dickson, Tennessee. The party went well into the night with plenty of dancing and celebrating the newlyweds. We loved their photo booth decor with the silver petal backdrop, fun props, and the vintage couch (see below). The picture below is from Michael and Anna Claire's first dance together, and the look in their eyes says everything. Congratulations you two, cheers!


5.21.16

Couple: Ranee + Geoff

Venue: Brightfield Farm

DJ: Bradley Ford

After the wedding on Saturday night, our office received this email from the owner of Brightfield Farm on behalf of Brad...

Brad,
This is Jim Broadbent from Brightfield Farm with a comment on your gig here this last weekend. I didn't get to see you before you left Saturday night so this email will have to suffice.
First let me say that DJ's tend to be the biggest problem that we have with vendors. They tend to be "self assured" and the result is a constant "interface" with them to control the sound levels and their involvement in the proceedings.
That is why I came to you initially and laid out our requirements. I was fully expecting to have to talk to you repeatedly during the night to facilitate a good party. (after a couple of drinks, the participants rarely understand the proper handling or the progression of the event).
So ... What a great surprise!
I was greatly impressed with your handling of the event. It was professional, personable, and perfectly performed. You handled the volume of the music perfectly. You were professional and yet personable on all of the announcements. You dealt with the music requests (both prior and during the event) very smoothly. And you did it all without any prompting or direction. It showed a very mature and knowledgeable capability and execution. It was very professional.
Thank you for a great night of music. (and the "Happy Trails" at the end was a hoot !!)
We here at Brightfield Farm will remember you and will recommend you to our pending brides.

5.21.16

Couple: Daryn + Tyler

Venue: Mint Springs Farm

DJ: Brian Snyder

Music Mixer: Andy Dozier

Highlights: Another pretty Saturday wedding at the farm with a sweet ceremony followed by an extended cocktail hour because the weather was perfect. A memorable moment as Daryn's father gave his toast during the reception that brought tears to everyone eyes, including Brian. Tyler danced with his mom to "Dear Mama" by Tupac, and opened the dance floor with Prince. This group was full of party animals and we love that the couple celebrated their fun-loving guests with the creative favors. They danced to songs by Earth Wind and Fire, KC and the Sunshine Band, and more classic hits kept everyone on the dance floor. One of the features we can't get over is the "kids table," adding such a family friendly touch to the evening. The kids table was full of games including coloring books, kid friendly snacks, and entertainment for the kids and parents alike. Congratulations Daryn and Tyler!


5.21.16

Couple: Felicia + Dave

Venue: Downtown Nashville Hilton

Photographer: Steve Herlihy Photography

DJ: JClark Anderson

Photo Booth Attendant: Donald Snyder

Highlights: This wedding had it all: full playlists, great food, custom lighting design, and a photo booth! Felicia and Dave were so much fun to plan with, work alongside of, and celebrate their nuptials with! There was a special + funny moment during the Father/Daughter dance when Felicia's dad, Larry, kicked off his shoes before hitting the dance floor with Felicia for dancing together to the hit song by the Temptations "My Girl". Some of Snyder Entertainments previous clients were in attendance, as well as J Clark's good friends, Brent & Sidney Bubis. This wedding was the perfect celebration of love, family, friends and just an all around fun dance party! Cheers to you two, Felicia and Dave!


5.22.16

Couple: Helen + Harrison

Venue: Mint Springs Farm

DJ: Brian Snyder

Music Mixer: Casey Davis

Highlights: This wedding was absolutely stunning, and we've never seen two people so in love. Helen and Harrison have known one another since 8th grade and they couldn't wait to officially tie the knot. This bride kept her decor + floral romantic with soft blush, pale oranges, dusty pastels, soft yellow, and neutral accents. They customized their day with DIY chalkboards in the entrance, reception barn, and at the bar. Harrison's father was their officiant, talking about love, life, and the importance of their wedding vows to one another. Celebrating with champagne, toasting to their love and their guests. Pop, clink, fizz, cheers! Helen surprised her groom by singing "I Don't Know Why" by Nora Jones, which resulted in a standing ovation and a memory to last a lifetime. We had so much fun at this wedding and we wish Helen + Harrison so much love and happiness!


A big thank you to Greg & Jess Photography and Steve Herlihy Photography for sharing the incredible photos that y'all captured, and for always being so great to work with! We also want to thank all of the venues + vendors for helping to collaborate and create these epic weddings; we love working with each of you. Another congratulations to all 7 of our newlywed couples! Our team at Snyder Entertainment wishes you all a lifetime of love, happiness, and always fond memories of your wedding day!
