All Photo Booths Are The Same…Right?

The rush of Fall wedding season is upon Nashville, and it all comes down to this. Have you booked a photo booth for your event, yet?!  It seems like an eternal search on Google when you look for “photo booths”.

Have You Heard About Tailgate Brewery?

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to hang out at Tailgate Brewery for their first open house event.

Nashville DJ Diaries | Dance Circle Mayhem | Hustle'n Groomsmen, Island Music, and THE Salsa!

I truly can't write an introduction that will do this week's DJ Diary any justice. Victoria and Aaron were married at Mint Springs Farm on July 4th, 2015. While everyone else was watching fireworks in the rain, Brad Ford was getting to light fireworks on the dance floor with this great group! From choreographed dances, dance circles, and playing Salsa and Island hits, this night was one we all wish we had been able to to attend!
