Le Chateau Wedding

This Le Chateau Wedding held special meaning for me as a dj. It was the first time i had returned to Le Chateau to DJ here since they  completed a 10 million renovation recently! When the weather is nice you can have your wedding reception on the side of the house in the courtyard like this:

Ceremony and Cocktial hour

I set up my DJ rig and speaker in the back by the Chateau’s side door. (i also supplied the Officiant with a microphone). As guests arrived I played Pre ceremony music (Canon in D for the Bridal Party, The Book of love instrumental for the Bride and her dad and the “all you need is love” (the Beatles song as done by the Vitamin String Quartet)

Soon after the ceremony the party moved inside to cocktail hour (passed Hor Dourves). My assistant Cole hooked up a custom made Spotify playlist on my Ipad to our portable Bose speaker inside for cocktail hour. Keeping the music level appropriate is always a focus of mine. No one wants to “talk over” the music to be heard. It’s an intangible you don’t read to much about but important nonetheless!

After cocktail hour guests moved into a beautiful Ballroom upstairs. The sun was setting, just as guests were coming into the room, and the way the light was coming in the room was both unique and helped create a perfect mood.

David and his team are super easy to work with and had great suggestions for our big day! It was such a fun dance party and no one wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night. Highly recommend.

Photographers

The Brenizer’s (Tatiana and Ryan) were the photographers on this wedding. I have DJ’d many weddings and events with them and you really couldn’t have two more lovely, down to earth people on your wedding as them. They are also world class talented.

Venue

As you can see from some of the photos above Le Chateau is a 5 star venue and perfect to have your event at. The maitre de was Debbie who could not have been more helpful or pleasant.
