From Ceremony to Celebration: DJ Tips for Your River Winds Wedding
River Winds Farm & Estate offers the best of Southern Maine – open countryside, yet close to the Atlantic. This family owned and operated venue and horse farm fronts 160 acres along the Saco River, just 15 minutes from Maine’s longest stretch of beach.
Start your wedding weekend with a rehearsal dinner in the historic Austin House. This beautiful home accommodates up to 16 – ideal for a wedding party. Take your pick of several wonderful outdoor ceremony locations. The staff at River Winds can even help you put together a nearby oceanside wedding ceremony and then a reception in the grand post and beam barn.
As a preferred wedding vendor, The Music Man DJ Service understands entertainment logistics and sound setups for River Winds Farm & Estate. Whatever ceremony location you select, your DJ will be ready with a battery operated, state-of-the-art sound system.
Ceremony Spots & Sounds
Nestled in a countryside setting, River Winds Farm and Estate features lush lawns, scenic gardens, and a tranquil pond – just a few of their outside ceremony spaces. And couples often choose to say their vows under the apple tree. The reception barn also features a nearby stone patio with a beautiful view. After the ceremony, guests enjoy the barn’s adjacent deck for a sunset cocktail hour.
With experience providing ceremony sound and music at so many locations, our DJs have a thorough understanding of what it takes to ensure crystal clear vows.
Music Man Location Idea: Have a clear vision on where you’d like each element of your wedding to take place. River Winds has so many choices and so much space that the sky’s the limit!
Sunset Cocktail Hour at River Winds
The deck off the reception barn is terrific for cocktail hour. Spanning the back of the barn, it makes a smooth transition space between the ceremony and the reception.
Cocktail hour is your DJ’s time to flirt with the vibe. Think upbeat instrumentals — familiar tunes with a twist — that get toes tapping and heads nodding across generations. It’s the musical appetizer before the main course of your reception.
Music Man Location Tip: Don’t forget the beautifully manicured lawn for cocktail hour. With River Winds mobile bar service, Sips n Saddles, you’ll have plenty of options for setup. And you can also have a tent on the lawn.
Keep the Party Going in Style
Enjoy warm, rustic elegance in River Winds’ reception barn. With the venue’s experienced team and vendors from their preferred list, you’ll enjoy a stress-free wedding experience. And when your DJ knows your venue, you’re ensured the best sound and entertainment. Every announcement will be heard. And every guest will find a reason to get on the dance floor!
A professional wedding DJ/MC gives you and your guests a great time while keeping it running on time. Our DJs know when to tighten things up and when to give a moment the opportunity to fully flourish.
Music Man Reception Tips: Add some up lighting for a vibrant splash of color. The barn is well laid out with an awesome symmetrical look. And if you’re planning on a photo booth, place it inside rather than on the deck or patio. It’s a bigger success when all forms of entertainment are in the same space.
Elevating the Atmosphere
Transform this beautiful venue with thoughtfully placed uplighting that highlights architectural details and shifts in color to match the mood as the evening unfolds. And every Music Man wedding package includes dynamic dance floor lighting to energize the celebration. Want to personalize your space even further? Add a custom monogram to turn a blank wall into a statement.
A sleek, touchpad photo booth makes it effortless for guests to snap keepsake moments—no instructions needed. Music Man DJ Service offers a fully customizable booth experience that blends seamlessly into your event and keeps the party vibe going.
Music Man Tip: Bundle your DJ, lighting, and photo booth services for streamlined planning and exclusive savings.
