A few of my favorites… which is actually pretty hard to narrow down when every weekend gives me another one I want to add to the list. Packed dance floors, friends screaming the lyrics, entrances that set the tone, and those completely unplanned moments that end up being the best part of the night. I get a front row seat to all of it, and that never gets old. Okay, which one are you watching first if it pops up on your feed? 👀 #weddingdj #columbusdj #bride #columbuswedding #weddingreception

Another one for the books! ✨ So excited to see this unforgettable wedding featured in @bridalguide! From a cocktail hour before the ceremony to disco balls, an incredible menu inspired by a favorite NYC restaurant, a Taylor Swift nod, and a midnight pool jump, every detail was designed to tell our couple’s story at a private residence wedding. Grateful to our amazing vendor team and wonderful clients for trusting us to bring it all to life. 💜 Read the feature: https://bridalguide.com/real-weddings/midwest/stylish-estate-wedding-unexpected-twists/ (bridalguide.com) Planning & Design: @vicki_kirkbrides Photography: @stevesteinhardt Videography: @theimageinmotion Catering: @atasteofexcellencecatering Cake: @whiteflowercakeshoppe Floral Design: @plantscaping_blooms @arneklein Entertainment (DJ, Percussion & Sax): @joshstaleyproductions Ceremony & Cocktail Music: @opus216 Klezmer Band: @nitebridgeentertainment Cocktail Hour Magician: @brianmastersmagic Lighting: @rthweddings Rentals: @eventsource • @borrowcurated • @prrentalsco • @pompparties Linens: @bbjlatavola (via L’nique/Event Source) Invitations & Stationery: @mineandkindred Hair: @megancoxbridal • @clevelandbeautycollective Makeup: @makeupbymerideth Transportation: @a1mrlimo Valet: @greatlakesvalet Tent & Luxury Restrooms: @aablerents Wine: Pat O’Brien’s Fine Wines Cantor: Kathy Sebo

POV: You spent months planning every tiny wedding detail… and the thing everyone talks about after? The dance floor. 😂 Not the napkins. Not the charger plates. Not the signature drink sign you remade 4 times on Canva at 1am. It’s the moment your favorite people are screaming lyrics together, your aunt is doing a split she’ll regret tomorrow, and your grandparents are still dancing at 10PM. ✨ That’s the stuff you remember forever. A packed dance floor isn’t just “good music.” It’s reading the room, knowing when to switch the vibe, and creating moments people feel. And honestly? There’s nothing better than looking around and realizing nobody wanted the night to end. Nicole + Ryan had it all 🤍 Tag someone who would absolutely be in the middle of this dance floor 👇 #columbusdj #weddingdj #weddingday #weddingreception #engaged

So special to be connected to brands with heart 🤍 Just received this umami seasoning from @zenbroth, founded by Jessica - female entrepreneur and UPenn graduate student, and I’m so excited to start experimenting with it in my kitchen. Love supporting thoughtful, nourishing products and the women behind them. Stay tuned for how I use it ✨ Shoutout to @nicolekrasnowsmith aka @hellomanythanks for keeping us all up to date on new and emerging CPG brands and better for you products!! #womeninbusiness #femalefounder #zenbroth #wellnesskitchen #supportsmallbrands

Seeing my product on shelves never gets old 🫶🏻🥹. Pure joy! So lucky to be on shelves @popup.grocer for the past few years (yes, years!). I’ve seen so many brands come and go (like, too many). Just happy to be here!

Fusion for the win🎷 Struggling between entertainment options for your wedding? Bands are awesome but, a high level DJ brings a smoothness and dance floor surprises your guests will never forget. Why not have both. Mix a lead instrument like a sax or electric guitar and a drummer with a DJ for the ultimate dance floor experience.

From the kitchen to the shelf, building a brand is a balance of honoring where you come from and knowing where you’re going.

New episodes this week: ☕ @thecafearoma VP, Bernadette Gerrity, shares how she is reimagining her family’s 60 year coffee legacy as a modern lifestyle brand through high energy events and fashion forward partnerships. 🌶️ @podi.life founder, Alak Nanda, discusses their mission to bring South Indian flavors to the modern home cook and how their identity as a first gen, queer founder drives their commitment to transparency and origin. 🛒 @hellomanythanks founder, @nicolekrasnowsmith, gives us a masterclass on retail readiness and reveals the "buyer’s perspective" on how to refine your packaging and positioning to disrupt your category.
