Every so often we do not meet with the bride and groom right away. Sometimes we get a call from a family member or friend that has been given the duty to find the best Wedding DJ. In this case our DJ, Brian got the call from the Bride's mom, Dana. She came in with all the great questions. One of the things that made her feel at home and taken care of is that our company has done many, many amazing weddings at The Walnut Grove and was one of the first preferred vendors on list 6+ years and still is to this day. It was this and the confidence that she received from Brian that her daughter's rustic country wedding would go off without a hitch.
So many personalized pieces were brought in by Holly & JT to make it their own unique wedding
