What a Wedding

Just got back into the office after a great wedding Saturday night at the Dresser Mansion. This was the Third wedding of three that this couple had. The first was in Australia, the second was in England and this was the Third.

We always love being at the dresser, Charlie & Gina are great to work with and so helpful. The wedding was held outside in a heated 20x40 tent in the backyard, guests came inside for a hour and a half cocktail hour with two open full bars and passed appetizers. Dinner was served at 7:30 in the tent outside and guests were treated to Mershon's catering with Prime rib, sides, wrapped asparagus and wine. After dinner guests gathered inside the mansion main entry for the Toasts. Cake cutting was followed by hours of dancing and drinking ending at the strike of Midnight as the Bride and Groom rode off into the dark November night in Tulsa. A few photos are below for your enjoyment.

Civic Center Wedding - OKC - Hall Of Mirrors



































Our sister company in Oklahoma City was out and about in OKC this weekend. The civic center wedding was a great wedding. Jeff and Moran were both super clients. We met with them last April to plan this wedding and everyone was great. Abbey Road catering was super easy to work with and from what we were told the food was great! The Civic center was very easy as well and the staff was great. Morgan designed the cakes herself and did a great job, not sure who did the cake but it looked very nice!

Here is the profile for the event:

280 guests -
20+ Tables
280+ Chair covers
5-6 candles on each table - lit
Centerpieces on each table
18 uplights were used around the room to highlight the colors
4 lights were used on the stage computer controlled to add some extra excitement.

Sound was provided to fill the room but we could have used a little more but wasn't in the budget for the client. The grand entrance was to How Sweet It Is To be Loved by You - Michael Buble , The first dance was fun and upbeat to michael buble - everything. The hosts gave a welcome(brides dad) , no formal toasts were given, cake cutting and dancing! The sorority sisters did the special circle dance followed by the house rap song. After that the dancing ensued with the bride being given the VIP treatment to dancing queen by all the girls at the party. Jeff stepped it up to dance to some Vanilla ice with his guys and the dance floor was non-stop until 11pm when they made their grand exit outside.

We worked with Linda and Ryan on their wedding for just under two weeks! They had booked a DJ company that canceled on them and left them high and dry. When they called our office we immediately went into action to help them plan this epic wedding. The German American center was decked out from front and back with a very nice layout (see photos below)....they also worked with some great vendors to make it an evening that will not be forgotten by most. Dancing into the night was the conclusion of this day and the bride and groom left in the Tulsa Trolly into maritial bliss.

Are all wedding DJ's created the same?? A open letter to wedding vendors in Tulsa

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT or WHAT ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO GET BY BOOKING THE CHEAPEST DJ YOU CAN FIND? Pictures are worth 1000+ words.

Good afternoon,


As wedding vendors, we strive to give our clients our all, we strive to give them the best for their special day. But some couples really do need a little hand holding to bring the entire picture to light. They have the best food, the best flowers, the best photography, the best video, the best chair covers...but skimp on the entertainment...it can really put a damper on all those "best" services even though you as vendors did you best.


If the customers guests leave after an hour, half the food is left and there are no photos to be taken of people dancing...what do you think her overall view of her wedding reception will be.....(insert answer here).....

While most clients put about 1% of their entire budget into entertainment. Some put much less thought that that.


Our clients that book with TulsaWeddingDJ.Com know that they are getting the best of the best in Tulsa and Oklahoma, we deliver a knockout punch at the reception and ensure that everyone goes away happy.


<--an actual picture of TulsaWeddingDJ.Com in action...


As a wedding DJ/Entertainer/Entertainment director our jobs are to ensure that all aspects of the evening are flawless, we do so much more than just play music...we entertain, relax and ensure the client is happy when the clock strikes midnight....as wedding vendors you should also ensure that your client knows what options are out there. We always advise clients to meet with at least 2-3 DJ companies when thinking about booking one. Let them see the styles and compare apples to apples...as weddings vendors it only makes us better and strive to make each wedding unique and special.

We would be happy to talk with your clients so they can avoid having a wedding DJ nightmare....


Best regards,

Zach Downing

Photographer of the month - Photography by Laura

We wanted to make a mention of a great photograher in Tulsa. Photography by laura is located in the farm shopping center and has been in business for many years in Tulsa. Finding a great photographer that is ethical, takes great photos and works with others at a wedding is few and far between but Laura and her staff do a great job.
