This past Saturday, October 24th, our DJ Jordan headed out to Hammack Hills in Amma, WV to celebrate Adrianna and Jared as they became Mr. and Mrs. Boothe! We had such a great time being part of their day, and we couldn’t wait to share it with you.
The Venue: Hammack Hills
If you haven’t been to Hammack Hills yet, put it on your list. It’s tucked into the West Virginia hills about 30 minutes outside of Charleston, and the setting is rustic and elegant at the same time. There are rolling hills, woods, a lake with a walking bridge, and views that make every photo look like a postcard. Inside, the reception halls have big chandeliers and custom finishes, so you get that cozy country feel without giving up any of the wedding luxury.
Something couples really love: Hammack Hills rents from Wednesday through Sunday. That means you can have your rehearsal dinner on site and get in early to set up, so you aren’t rushing around the morning of your wedding. They even offer horse-drawn carriages! If you’re looking for a fall wedding venue in West Virginia, it’s hard to beat.
An Outdoor Fall Ceremony
Adrianna and Jared said “I do” outside, and late October in West Virginia did not disappoint. Their colors were dark, dusty fall pinks mixed with soft light pinks, and it was the perfect match for the season. It was romantic and warm, and it fit right in with the changing leaves around them.
Setting the Mood: Uplighting & Monogram
The reception space was absolutely gorgeous. The Boothes chose uplighting and a custom monogram, and both are features we offer in our packages. Jordan says that at this venue, the monogram is a must, and uplighting completely transforms the space. It takes the room from “nice” to “WOW,” and it looks beautiful in photos. The monogram adds a personal touch your guests notice the minute they walk in.
The Dance Party!
Now for the fun part. If we had to sum up this wedding in one phrase, it would be wholesome party energy. Adrianna and Jared’s playlist covered 80s through 2000s hip hop, R&B, rock, and country, and their guests were on the dance floor for three and a half hours straight. No breaks!
One of the sweetest moments of the night was when Jared shared a very special moment with his mom on the dance floor. Those are the moments that stick with you.
And the best moment of the night? At the end of the reception, Adrianna and Jared pulled everyone into one big circle, and the whole room sang “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” at the top of their lungs. It was the perfect way to close out an incredible night!
What the Family Had to Say
Hearing this feedback is what we do it all for: Adrianna and Jared both told Jordan he was the absolute perfect fit for who they are. Then the father of the bride told us that if he could change anything about the wedding, he wouldn’t. He said it was the most perfect wedding he’s ever been to.
We’ll take that! :)
Insider Tips: Getting Married at Hammack Hills
Booked Hammack Hills for your wedding? Here are a few tips from our DJ:
The DJ doesn’t go in the crow’s nest. The venue has a crow’s nest that looks like the perfect DJ spot, but a full DJ setup won’t fit up there. Let your DJ and coordinator know ahead of time so nobody is surprised on the wedding day.
The best DJ spot is between the two bathrooms. It sounds funny, but trust us! It’s the spot that works best for sound and for seeing the dance floor.
Don’t skip the monogram and uplighting. This venue was made for them. They really make the room shine.
Adrianna and Jared, thank you so much for letting BRAVO Live DJ be part of your big day. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness (and lots more dance parties)!
And a big thank you to the Hammack Hills team. We can’t wait to come back!
