Unique Chicago Wedding | January 30th, 2010

Unique Chicago Wedding…. January 30th, 2010 was a busy day around the Operation Getdown office.  For the first time in 11 years I had the opportunity to DJ for not only one reception, but two receptions back to back (literally and figuratively).  Let’s just say it was a unique Chicago wedding day!  What do I mean by that you ask?  Well believe it or not I had two receptions at the same banquet hall in two different rooms which were literally back to back.  Pretty cool huh?  I think so!  Talk about the worlds fastest DJ setup!

Anyways,  as mentioned I had the honor and privilege to work with James and Catherine Gonzalez for their unique Chicago wedding which took place at Dinolfos Banquets in Mokena, Illinois.  Their reception started right around 6:30pm and let’s just say the party started the second they walked in the door!   After meeting with them a few times I knew their reception was going to be exceptionally fun.  They truly wanted a unique Chicago wedding.

To make their Chicago wedding unique they wanted to try a few different activities to spice up the night.  The reception started with a high energy wedding introduction down the grand stair case at Dinolfos Banquets.  The song that they chose for their bridal party to enter was Rompe by Daddy Yankee.  A great upbeat song that immediately set the night on fire.  As we brought in their large wedding party their wedding guests erupted with heart felt applause.  It was awesome!  James and Catherine also wanted their own unique wedding introduction song.  Since they both were police officers it seemed only fitting that they would enter the room with the “Cops” theme song playing loud.  It was classic and truly unique!!  To add a little excitement I pre-wired some red and blue police lights at the top of the stairs at Dinolfos.  I’m pretty sure that was the first time they had ever seen anything like that at Dinolfo.  I also had a couple siren sound effects that I played as they entered the room.  It really added to the mood and their guests loved it!

As the night progressed let’s just say their unique Chicago wedding got a little “crazy”.  Crazy in a good way of course!  Their must-play playlist consisted of many classic 80s and 90s joints and plenty of salsa music!  If you really want to see what I’m talking about check out their unique Chicago wedding video below.
