Last night, we were at it once again as the Rochester DJ and wedding entertainment vendor of choice for the Raha Wedding. This was our first official wedding of 2020 and as many people know, your first wedding and last wedding of every year are always our favorites and mean so much to us. The first one sets the tone for the rest of the year and the last one is us going out on a high note until next season.
This particular Rochester wedding was an amazing one, as it was a huge Harry Potter themed one. The bride and groom shared a mutual love of Harry Potter so they incorporated so many aspects of the movies into their wedding, which turned out wonderful! The venue was one we’ve played at before and had a lot of fun at. So, check out the details and pics below of the Raha Wedding!
