May 31st Reception at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, IA

4 06 2008

This past Saturday, I DJ’ed a wedding reception at an awesome venue in Sioux City, IA.  The reception was held at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, IA.  WOW, what a beautiful place!  It was built in the 1920’s and has since been restored to it’s original beauty.

The dinner portion of the evening was held on the stage, followed by a slide show on the big screen, and the dance in the lobby.  My equipment was setup on the level above the dancefloor, which was a first for me!  I had to pull a “MacGyver” and figure out a way to angle my speakers downward so that the sound would hit the dancefloor just right.  I turned them on their side and propped them up with a pole, and they sounded great! 

The bride and groom were absolutely wonderful, and the guests danced the night away.  The entire bridal party treated everyone to a “Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)” routine, and I joined everyone on the dancefloor later in the evening to show them how to do the “Cupid Shuffle.”

It was a great, great night, and I hope to return to the Orpheum in the future!

Here are a few photos from the event:

An outside shot under the marquee, notice the picture of the bride and groom on the right - pretty cool!

A shot of my upper-deck setup as seen from the dancefloor.  The lighting is set up to the side, shining down on the dancefloor.

The view from the rear of the room.  I lit up the chandeliers with my super bright moving head light.  I had them changing colors all night long, it looked pretty sweet!

So I am in the process of booking an event at the same location…they were concerned about the balcony and the website has limited photos…obviously I had no idea really since I have never DJ’d here.

I remembered this blog post and jumped on to look at photos…so thanks for that my man. P.S. DJ Intel leads I am booked on, I will reply to them - refer you - and CC you in on it. It’s bound to happen sooner then later.

Check out my mix too http://www.zshare.net/download/17066479a590f819/. I mixed it live on the fly without headphones or an external mixer…so there’s like 3-4 friggen awful transitions! I’m into the high energy electro / dance music as you can tell.

Peace!
