On October 17, 2008, I DJ'd a Wedding Reception @ Stonebrook Golf Club http://www.stonebrooke.com/and 2 really crazy things happened, the groom saved the priests life and the bride lost her wedding rings!
A few minutes before the Grand March the Mother of the Bride comes running up to the entrance telling us (me & the bridal party) that the priest was choking, the Groom who was a paramedic rushed out to the guests and performed the Heimlich and saved the priest from choking. Needless to say a cheer resonated throughout the venue, so that was a first and pretty rad. So anyway, after all the life saving commotion, I kicked off the grand march and it went off w/o a hitch (I used The Mustapha Dance by The Clash) as the grand march music. The B & G told me to use whatever I wanted and since I had DJ’d her sisters wedding last year I had their complete trust (I rocked that one too).
Anyway, the Grand March is cool, we go into dinner and speeches a slide show etc. and I' m informed by the Maid of H that the Bride's wedding rings are missing. Holy Shit! Apparently she took them off in the bathroom to wash her hands and left them on the sink, I found out later that the sink had a mesh stopper so the rings didn’t go down the drain, so my guess is some P.O.S. walked off with them. I highly doubt it was a guest or the staff, so I’m assuming that it may have been someone from the public as Stonebrook is a golf club and their guests use the facility as well, or the rings grew legs and walked away? Anyway, The Bride was pretty broken up but she held it together. Due to this fiasco the dance really started late, but I rocked it…. Again!
One thing of note was the photographer Kristi Kienholz of Dolce Studios. She's a total pro and she stayed late to cover the night even though she wasn’t required to. So big kudos to her because I see a lot of weddings that run late and the photogs bail when their contract ends, which is bullshit, because well... I just think it is. Find out more on Dolce Studios via http://dolcestudios.com or hit her up @ (612) 432-7095
Lastly, I’ve played @ Stonebrook many times now, and their food, staff, and atmosphere is great, and as an added bonus they have wonderful scenery for photos.
Now check out these videos… One is of the dancefloor @ some point in the night & one is a walkthrough of Stonebrook

Word...
To All-
Welcome to the wonderful world of providing DJ entertainment for your event! By now you’ve probably figured out that “finding” a DJ isn’t too difficult; it’s the “selection” process that you may find a bit challenging. I hope that the time you invest here will assist you in making an informed decision on a crucial element in every successful event… music, or in my biased opinion… a great DJ! Throughout history, music has entertained royalty, moved Fred and Ginger, and perhaps invoked a first kiss. Your event will be a part of history, and I would like to be a part of it. Whether it’s a corporate gathering, a prom, or my personal favorite wedding receptions, retaining my services as your DJ will be a sound investment. I have the proven ability to infuse your personal style, meld it together with a harmonious balance of professionalism and personality, and create an event like no other. It can’t be said enough, but there are absolutely no “do-overs” in this industry. DJing an event that has your heart, soul, time, and money on the line would be an honor and a privilege. Thank you to my family, friends, and clients, for giving me the opportunity to do what I love!
Best Regards,
DJ Superunknown
