The Entertainment Service will be in Peoria for event #14 over at the Fire House Event Center for a Wedding Celebration-Cocktail Party for Roxanne & Logan Gustafson from 6 PM until 10 PM. Little background here. I met Roxanne on 11/16/19 as she was in attendance for her friend's Wedding that I was the DJ for. She hired me for her Wedding event which was originally scheduled for 4/11/20 which unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the pandemic. So, it was rescheduled to 4/3/21. Roxanne's family lives in the London area but many of them were not comfortable flying over to the US. Fast forward to March of 2023 when she reached out to me & they were planning a Wedding Celebration since they had gotten married since we last spoke & they still would like to use my DJ service. How about that? So, two cancellations & four years later here we are :)

Rustic wedding venue located in Peoria's historic Fire Station #1. Exposed brick, barn wood, expert staff and in-house caterer make this a spot you can't miss!

As we're just a few hours away from ringing in 2024 let me take one last look to reflect & celebrate a great 2023! Twenty-nine events & just over 1600 miles of round-trip travel are now in the books. From Goodyear to Flagstaff to Payson along with many, many towns in between in the Valley. Met lots of great people & had such a fun & wonderful time! I'm so appreciative & blessed. I was honored to be hired as the DJ for these events. There are many DJ choices out there. The fact I was chosen as your DJ is very humbling. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love what I do so there will be at least one more DJ season for me. Fourteen events are already scheduled for 2024. A Happy & Blessed New Year to you all! May 2024 bring you abundant joy, peace, prosperity, health & love. See you all in '24! Looking forward to it!
