Wedding at Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club w/ DJ Uplights, LCD TV, LED DJ Booth


I had an amazing time at the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club  on Friday August 24, 2012.  The night was incredible and the set-up was beautiful.  The set-up consisted of two fifty inch flat screen TVs, led lit facade, and blue uplights around the room.  The lighting was the perfect accent for the view of the Long Island Sound.




Mr. and Mrs. Stoyka danced their first dance as husband and wife to "From this Moment On", by Shania Twain.  They played an active role in kicking off the party by picking the first two songs to open the dance floor, "I llike It', by Enrique Iglesisas and "Club can't Handle Me", by Flo Rida.




Enrique Colon was the Master of Ceremonies and DJ for this event. The playlist that kept people dancing consisted of top 40, salsa, merengue, bachata, and 80s rock.  The cocktail hour featured music by Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Bob Marley.  The perfect ending to this night was "Empire State of Mind" by Jay - Z.

Master Of Ceremonies Workshop In Syracuse


Last week I spent 2 days in Syracuse, NY taking a Master of Ceremonies workshop with Mark Ferrell. I learned alot of new ways of handeling my duties, I spent time writng new scripts, and performed for Mark and seven other DJ's who attended the workshop.

Mark critiqued me in a way I've never been reviewed before. Mark seen the littlie mistakes in my first performances and pointed them out right way. I've spent countless hours going over my previous performances and never noticed the miscues I made. I immeadiately took his advice and I'm challenging myself to become a better MC.



It was a difficult workshop to participate in. I always get little jitter bugs in front of wedding parties that have 75 -350 people. Over these two days I was even more nervous in front of 7 of my peers, whom I never met before. I know they were judging me but I was there to get chewed apart so I can get better when I'm performing at my events.

I plan on attending Mark Ferrell's MC Silver workshop on February 2013 in Las Vegas. I'm also about to start looking into taking a acting & improv class.

As we are approaching Labor day weekend, I plan on posting more on a regular basis. I will back track and show you guys how I spent this beautiful summer of 2012. Did I fail to mention that I'm less than 5 weeks away from my big wedding!!!
