Weddings and new regulations in 2020

Now trending in 2020, micro weddings! That was really an email I received about weddings recently. Geez. Of course things very different from what we expected this year to be, and the hardest part is rules for events continue to change as time goes on. As of June 10th, 2020, here are a few of the rules that Salt Lake County has implemented and recommended for private events.

  1. Make sure the venue has filled out the attestation form and submitted to their county.  Have the attestation form on display at the venue for guests to see.

  2. Maintain social distancing of households at ceremonies and meals meaning everything is assigned seating.

  3. No passed apps or cocktails.

  4. Dance floors are OK, but discouraged due to inability to maintain social distance.  One solution is to have a basket of masks by the dance floor for guests to use. Another option is to use multiple dance floors.

  5. There will likely be no changes to event guidelines when the state moves from yellow to green.

  6. The chance of moving from yellow to orange is slim and would only happen if our hospitals no longer had capacity.

  7. Guests need to assume responsibility for their own health and the health departments are not interested in policing and breaking up events.

I can’t wait until we go back to a safe “normal” for weddings and events. I know many in the Salt Lake City area are ready to return to having the family gathered at our beautiful wedding venues with djs that get your guests going!

Chamorro-Leon Wedding at River Bottoms Ranch in Midway 2019

Weddings and Traveling

St. George, Utah is such a beautiful and breathtaking place for a wedding. Setup right outside the doors of Arches National Park, a wedding is certainly eclipsed with the beauty of the redrocks surrounding the venue. As a wedding DJ, I focus on the landscape, couple, family, and energy to set the right mood for the evening. A wedding dj should compliment the evening and highlight the bride and groom. Traveling to dj in these destinations is such an amazing experience for a wedding dj.

River Bottoms Ranch Weddings

2019 was a beautiful year for weddings. One such wedding I had the privilege to entertain was hosted at River Bottoms Ranch in Midway, Utah. This amazing venue was just a few turns away from Park CIty, Utah, and less than an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The views, team, and energy at the ranch was just stunning. For the couple, I played a blend of eclectic top 40 music to a variety of lively Latin wedding hits. As a Latin dj, I take pride in being able to mix from traditional English hits to some of the deeper Spanish cuts during a blended or multicultural wedding.

The Fountain View Event Venue - Karla's Wedding

I had the amazing opportunity to entertain for Karla and Adrian's Wedding in June 2017. This was a venue I've never been to, the Fountain View Event Venue in Farmington's Station Park overlooking the open-air mall's central fountain. The venue made it extremely easy to walk through and setup as needed. 

I came recommended to Karla from a family member, which made the event even more special. They were familiar with my work as well at Club Karamba, so they knew what kind event they could expect. Karla and Adrian met with me several times to go through the schedule of events, meet at the venue, and go through the setlist for the evening. Each event is unique in that I work to understand each event's aspects: where is a family coming from, ages, what their likes/dislikes are, who is going to dance, any inside jokes, all in an effort to create the perfect energy for the evening. 

Karla and Adrian's wedding was just perfect, filled with family, friends, a beautiful venue and party to leave them with memories to come. We made sure that we played to all groups, some Country, Latin Tropical, Mexican, and Top 40/pop for all those groups attending the wedding. 

A review from Karla - "Dj Drew was the best! He was highly recommended and he did an amazing job for our wedding. He gave us all the mixture of music we wanted. We had a diverse group and everyone told me they had so much fun. Drew was prepared, high energy, and really made my wedding memorable! Thank you Drew for being part of our special day."

Love these things. Can't wait for the next ones.
