Wedding DJ and Entertainment in Sarasota
Wedding DJ, lighting, and Signature Wedding Weekend production in Sarasota, Florida. Historic estates and yacht clubs, most with outdoor ceremony spaces that need a rain plan agreed event by event.
Sarasota is an arts town with the venues to match, and the two most requested wedding sites here are a Gilded Age mansion on the bay and a 1920s radio magnate's estate up the Tamiami Trail, neither of which was built to hold a party and both of which are magnificent to throw one in.
The Powel Crosley Estate offers the opposite kind of site: a house and a lawn on Sarasota Bay with real freedom about how to use them. That gives us a different starting point for the arrangement, the music and the way guests move through the celebration. The Sarasota Yacht Club is a member club, so ask who will sponsor your event.
The other thing about Sarasota is that it is a town full of working performers, because the circus wintered here for decades and the arts scene it left behind never went anywhere, so if you want something live in the room this is one of the easier markets in Florida to get that right, and it tends to cost less here than flying the same thing in would.
Tell us your venue and the atmosphere you want to create.
What should our planner confirm with The Ringling?
Confirm your music end time with your venue in writing before you book entertainment. Read The Ringling's published wedding policies.
Ask your planner to get the rental hours, vendor requirements and sound limit confirmed in writing before you sign. We plan the music and the shape of the night around what the venue confirms for your event.
A sound limit measured at the property line is not a reason to avoid a venue, it is a reason to design the night for it. A room that is going to be measured has to get its energy from the arrangement and the space rather than from volume, and a DJ who only knows one way to fill a floor will fight that ceiling all night.
