Vendor Interviews: Jordan River Entertainment - DJ

As I blogged last month, I am starting my series of blog interviews with wedding vendors. First up is Jordan River Entertainment. Jordan was the DJ at one of the first weddings I ever worked on as an assistant photographer many years ago.

Since then, we've worked together on many events including weddings, bar- and bat mitzvahs, and most recently Molly and Jeremy's wedding in September. Here he is with the lovely couple:

Jordan is really great at getting people up out of their seats and enjoying themselves. Here he is getting the crowd to sing to the bride and the groom:


He even got a conga line line started, you can really see how much fun everyone has in it, too:
