Weddingi at Lippincott Manor in Wallkill, NY with DJ

On September 8, 2012 BTL DJs headed out to Wallkill, NY, 89 miles away from NYC.  Upon arriving the weather was sunny and seemed like the beginnings of what was going to be a beautiful outdoor ceremony.  After setting up the main set up in the reception tent at the Lippincott Manor the weather took a drastic turn.

So many things cannot be helped when your in the wedding business, but this wedding proved to BTL DJs that anything really can happen.  Within 15 minutes of arrival a tornado warning came into affect for Ulster County.  We quickly had to take action.  We had to lower the speakers and try to protect the equipment as well as we could.  Ten minutes before the wedding was suppose to commence all our equipment was covered in plastic and lifted off the ground.

Then the storm struck.  It was quite terrifying, it made covering the equipment seem pointless.  The venue managers were directing everyone to their cars to take cover.

The storm eventually stopped, but left quite a few people rattled.  We quickly reset all the equipment and started to play classic jazz music.  We assisted the wedding coordinator and Tricia, the venue mangaer, to quickly get the wedding started.

The ceremony for Sarah and Nigel Chwaya was moved indoors and began 30 minutes later than scheduled, but it went on without a hitch. After the lovely ceremony, cocktail hour went into full swing.  The tornado became an afterthought as cocktail hour ended and everyone danced the night away at the reception.
