Had a great time deejaying Ryan & Melissa's reception at John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks. It was the first time I have played the Poolside Terrace on the 5th floor, and I was impressed both by the room and the staff. The room is away from the normal convention ballrooms which makes it more private and exclusive. Lots of windows and great linens and decorations really made the room seem airy and festive, but the real stars are the excellent servers and staff of the Nugget.
Jeanie was the head server and was amazing in all respects: friendly and attentive with the guests, very helpful to a certain DJ, and always smiling- what a great ambassador for the Nugget! Just as impressive were Liz and Emil. Liz was in charge and she dove in to help at various points, dealing with everything with professionalism and speed. Emil was just one great server amongst many, but he was always smiling, asking guests if they needed anything even though he had already anticipated and fulfilled their needs. He made me feel very much at home from the minute I arrived and he did the same for Melissa & Ryan's guests. Everyone was great to work with and a pleasure to be around. If you want great service with a staff that really prides itself with it's professionalism and friendliness, check out the Nugget.
Evan Zinser of Zinser Photography was the photographer, and I know when he is at an event that everything will go off smoothly and that the bride & groom will get some amazing photos. I will post some more of his work on my website to go with his pix of Mandy & Whip's wedding already there.
Following a great dinner and some very heart-felt toasts, Ryan & Melissa danced to Sade's "By Your Side" and then the "Buffalo Girls" (Melissa's friends) took over and the party got going. Lots of great dancing ended with Norah & Wylcef's "Any Other Day". It was a great reception and I was privileged to be a part of it. Congrats Mr & Mrs Mott!
