We’re Back and Sorry For the Delay!

July 25th, 2010

We’re back!! In case you haven’t noticed we’ve been a little slow at getting back to our calls and emails this week. On June 18th-23rd our office team took a short retreat out to Yosemite National Park in Madera California. Shortly after we arrived we realized there was no internet and/or cellular service. (Can you tell we’re from the city?)

So as you’ve probably guessed a lot of our phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. We do apologize for this and we’re not purposely avoiding you!!

Have no fear though we’re back in Chicago and working around they clock to get caught up. :) As you’re reading this, we’re on the airplane replying to several unanswered emails. We expect to be back on schedule with our emails and phone messages no later than Monday morning.

Thanks so much for your patience and we do apologize for any stress we may have caused. Talk to you soon!

Sincerely,

Stevie Dee
Operation Getdown Management

P.S. We’re back on decks in Palos Heights & Elmhurst tomorrow evening for a graduation party and a wedding reception. Stay tuned for many new updates!

Summertime Update | Chicago Weddings

July 25th, 2010

Wow, as I look over the blog I’ve realized it’s been quite some time since I’ve run an update.  As many of you know, the summer wedding season is in full effect and we’re feeling the busy effects of it.  This is why you don’t see too many updates here on the Chicago Party DJ site.  We have however been updating the Chicago Wedding DJ blog almost daily!   So be sure to swing on over there to see what’s been shaking here at Operation Getdown.

Would you like to get a sneak peak into one of our recent Chicago Weddings?  No problem!  We’ve posted several new Jam Cam videos from several local area banquet halls including William Tell Banquets, Carriage Greens and Dinolfos in Homer Glen.

We’ve also posted several new Wedding Wrap-ups including one from an Oak Forest Wedding, Schererville Wedding and a Munster Wedding.   Now if you’ve never been to our Chicago Wedding DJ Blog you’re probably wondering what a “wedding wrap-up” actually is.  Well it’s quite simple!  As your trusted Chicago Wedding DJ we feel it’s important to keep you up to date with local wedding trends here in the Chicagoland area.  Each week we feature one of our client’s weddings and we write a “wrap-up” about that reception.  It’s been very popular over the past couple of months and we think you’ll like what you see.  If you get a chance be sure to check out some of our recent wrap-ups below.

Mokena Fourth Of July Parade | July 4th, 2010

July 6th, 2010

So we managed to forgot the video camera for this awesome event, but we did manage to snap a few quick shots of our DJ float for the Mokena Fourth of July Parade.

This was our first year at the Mokena 4th of July parade and it exceeded all of our expectations. A great event and tons of people! You can bet we’ll be back again next year. Thanks again to the entire town of Mokena for putting on such a wonderful event!
