Not long ago, I was in the search for a new DJ vehicle to replace my battered, gas-guzzling van. After a pretty extensive search, I ended up at Fred Beans in Doylestown, where I met the father of a soon-to-be bride, Mike Dougherty. I have to point out, I was not enthusiastic about purchasing a new vehicle, but Mike made the experience a very pleasant one.

During the process of signing the paperwork, it came out that I was a wedding DJ. Have you ever been sitting across from a car dealer and tured the tables on them, assuming the role of salesman? Anyway...

This was an outstanding event. Events hosted at Cescaphe always are.

After the ceremony, the guests made their way into a room filled with a giant spread of food and drink. Try to imagine your favorite food... It was probably there in three different forms.

I know I say this pretty often, but the dance floor filled after dinner and stayed that way until midnight. It was a great collection of wedding guests who all were interested in showing their enthusiasm for a genuinely awesome couple.

By the way, it was a pleasure working with Bruce Garner of Clair Pruett Video and internet sensation Tony Hoffer. This week's photos were all shot by Tony and his wife (who has the best permasmile around). You can see them here!

Congratulations, Lauren and Phillip!
