Tara and Tanner’s wedding at The Venue at Mills River kicked off the 2024 spring season with style, heart, and one incredible dancefloor. With mountain views, early blooms, and an energy that kept building all night, this day was a perfect mix of relaxed and electric.

Ceremony in the Spring Air
Officiated by Uncle Brian, the ceremony was full of laughter, heartfelt moments, and a whole lot of love. I provided mic support and curated a prelude mix that blended indie acoustic with light folk—setting a calm, personal tone for guests as they settled in. When Tara walked down the aisle, you could feel every guest leaning in to be part of it.

Cocktail Hour in the Courtyard
After the ceremony, guests gathered in the courtyard and patio areas for cocktails and connection. I kept the playlist upbeat but easygoing—mixing acoustic favorites, 90s throwbacks, and a few fun curveballs that Tara and Tanner had selected. The mountains did the rest, creating a perfect backdrop for guests to relax and mingle.

Reception – All Gas, No Brakes
Once we opened the dancefloor, there was no looking back. Tara and Tanner’s guests packed the floor immediately, and we built a live mix that covered everything from pop and classic rock to late-night anthems. Every transition kept the energy high and the celebration flowing—and the photo booth setup nearby kept everyone laughing between songs.

The Takeaway
As an Asheville Wedding DJ, it’s always a blast when couples want to bring real energy into their day—and Tara and Tanner’s wedding was a textbook example. Full of life, love, and great music from start to finish.
