Wedding: Stacy & Alex at Craftsman Inn, Fayetteville, 5/18/19

Posted on June 13, 2019 by Peter Naughton in Event Photos, Wedding DJ

Stacey and Alex’s wedding was not only my first wedding for 2019, but my very first at the Craftsman Inn in Fayetteville. (Considering it’s one of the closest venues to my house, I’m surprised I hadn’t been booked here sooner!) The entire venue recently underwent a massive renovation and it looks wonderful. Check out the photos inside this post.

Peter’s Pointers: Choosing a Wedding Officiant – Friend or Pro?

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Peter Naughton in Peter's Pointers

More and more often, couples are skipping church and getting married right at their reception venue. Among the advantages, you can choose your own officiant. Are professional officiants really worth the money, or are you just as well having a friend or relative get ordained online? Your decision can have a major impact on your marriage. I’ll explain in this edition of Peter’s Pointers for Wedding Planning. [ More » ]

Wedding: Irene and Robert at Tailwater Lodge, Altmar, 12/29/18

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Peter Naughton in Event Photos, Wedding DJ

My final wedding of the 2018 wedding season holds the all-time record for “latest wedding in the year.” After all, there isn’t much room to go later than December 29! The season wrapped up at a familiar venue — Tailwater Lodge in Altmar — with a familar couple. Bride Irene is the sister of Martin, whose wedding I DJ’ed in 2016 (where Irene was a bridesmaid). It’s always great to see some of the same guests again and this crowd had a great time! Check out the photos and more in this blog post. [ More » ]

Sharon and Stephen’s wedding brought me back to a familiar venue, Traditions at the Links in East Syracuse. This was a fun wedding with an amazing crowd… check out the photos and more in this blog post. [ More » ]

Wedding: Bethany and Brian at Highland Forest’s Skyline Lodge, Fabius, 11/3/18

Posted on November 16, 2018 by Peter Naughton in Event Photos, Wedding DJ

Throughout my wedding DJ career, I’ve kept a list of “unofficial records” in my head. Earliest and latest wedding dates. (January 14th and December 28th, if you’re wondering.) Longest drive (east of Binghamton). Things like that. Bethany and Brian’s wedding at Highland Forest park’s Skyline Lodge probably sets the record for earliest wedding to date. I arrived shortly after 9:00am to set-up for a 10:30 start. The setup was a little different than my previous weddings here — find out why in today’s blog post! [ More » ]

Wedding: Megan and Jimmy at Beardslee Castle, Little Falls, 10/20/18

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Peter Naughton in Event Photos, Wedding DJ

Growing up in Rome and starting my broadcasting career in Utica, I’ve heard about Beardslee Castle many times, but never had a chance to visit. That changed this year, thanks to Megan and Jimmy booking me as their wedding DJ! They picked a beautiful fall day to get married on the castle’s front lawn, followed by dinner and dancing inside.

Wedding: Emily and Nicholas at Tailwater Lodge, Altmar, 10/13/18

Posted on October 26, 2018 by Peter Naughton in Event Photos, Wedding DJ

One venue getting a lot of buzz recently is the Tailwater Lodge in Altmar, which opened just a few years ago. Located along the Salmon River, it’s a favorite spot for anglers, but it’s also a well-appointed venue for weddings. Emily and Nicholas’ wedding was not only my first wedding ever at this venue, but my first of two booked for 2018. Check out photos and more in today’s blog post! [ More » ]

A brisk fall day on the farm provided the setting for Amber and Nate’s wedding day. The newlyweds and their guests will have memories for years to come, between the dance floor, the tag-team toast and Boris the Trebuchet’s pumpkin launching abilities!
