December Chicago Wedding DJ Highlights

Friday, December 31st, 2010

December is about to come to a close here at the Operation Getdown office and it’s been another great month/year. It’s been a month filled with weddings, corporate Christmas parties, birthday celebrations and even a few school dances. Lots of variety and that’s always been something that we love about our profession!

There has also been quite a few updates on our Chicago Wedding DJ site. In case you missed it, we’ve posted several new Jam Cam videos that you have to see; including a Lemont Wedding Video and a Mokena Wedding Video. Both of these receptions were a total blast and we highly recommend you check them out. Our clients have always had great style so we thought it’d be fun to showcase some of their recent December weddings. These videos will also give you a sneak peak into the Dinolfos Banquet Hall and even the Cog Hill Banquet Facility. Very cool!

November Chicago DJ Updates

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Brrrr….it’s beginning to feel a lot like winter here in the Chi! In fact, we saw a few snowflakes driving home from Lansing last night. For some that’s disappointing, but for us we’re pretty excited! Winter Wonderland Weddings are one of our favorites. We’re jumping the gun just a little though. It’s still Fall and Fall weddings are still happening! In case you’ve missed the updates on our Chicago Wedding DJ blog we invite you to check out some Jam Cam videos below.

On October 22nd, 2010 we had the pleasure of working with Michael & Gabrielle Brandenburg (Lopez) for their Fall Mokena Wedding. There reception was held at one of our favorite venues (Dinolfos) and there were right around 100 guests in attendance. If you get a chance be sure to check out their Mokena Wedding Wrap up.

Then the following night we packed up our gear and crossed the border into Munster, Indiana for Joe & Jennifer Velderman’s (Skowronski) Fall Munster Wedding. This reception was held at the modern and unique Performing Arts Center in Munster. It was another fun night of music and dancing for this DJ! Be sure to read Joe & Jennifer’s Munster Wedding wrap up!

September Chicago DJ Wrap Up

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Happy Fall to all of our loyal fans out there! It’s hard to believe September is already coming to a wrap. It feels like we were just blogging about Spring Weddings not too long ago! I guess as you get older time really does fly by. Over the past month things have really been hopping at the Getdown office. We’ve had a record amount of weddings and school dances to keep us incredibly busy.

In case you missed the updates on our Chicago Wedding DJ Blog, we’ve added several new wedding videos including a Jam Cam video from a Highland Indiana Wedding, a Schererville Indiana Wedding and even an Alsip Illinois Wedding. If you get a chance be sure to check those guys out. The power of video is amazing these days. Now you can get a sneak peak into our receptions without ever having to leave the comforts of your own home. Very cool!

We’ve also posted a couple really quick videos below from some recent Chicago Homecoming Dances. Nothing is cooler than seeing 700 kid’s throw their hands high into the air at the same time with loads of energy. It’s one more reason why we love our jobs!


Here’s a quick shot from Joliet Central’s Homecoming Dance that took place on Sept 25th, 2010.

Summertime Update | Chicago Weddings

Sunday, 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.
