Wedding DJ at The Ashford Estate in Allentown, NJ: Mike Gesicki and Halle Proper’s Wedding

Mike and Halle’s Wedding at The Ashford Estate

SCE Event Group provided full wedding DJ and entertainment services for NFL tight end Mike Gesicki and Halle Proper at The Ashford Estate, including custom lighting and cold spark fountains, along with live drummer and saxophone performances. 

Originally from New Jersey, Mike and Halle met and fell in love during their time at Penn State University. At the time of their wedding, Mike was a tight end for the Miami Dolphins and both were residing in Florida. But they wanted to have their wedding in the Garden State so friends and family could easily attend. 

As you can see, there was never a dull moment at Mike and Halle’s reception. These guests knew how to party! Halle and Mike wanted an energetic, danceable playlist for their celebration, so we made sure to blast a mix of 2000’s, today’s top hits, and classics. In homage to the couple’s shared collegiate experience, we even made sure the Penn State Zombie Nation anthem made its way over the sound system.

Make the Most of The Ashford Estate

The Ashford Estate is one of the stunning places featured in our wedding venue guide. Set on hundreds of acres of preserved farmland, the expansive estate is a balanced blend of countryside charm and sophistication.

This property is all about event flow. There’s a barn chapel for ceremonies, a conservatory for cocktail hour, and a magnificent ballroom. Your wedding party has plenty of room for getting ready in the Bridal Parlor and Groom’s Lounge. And with overnight accommodations, The Ashford Estate is ideal for wedding weekends.

This expansive property has all the makings for an extravagant celebration. We were thrilled that Mike and Halle chose this stunning property for their big day. The Ashford Estate was the perfect option for the couple’s extensive guest list, onsite ceremony, and need for a centrally-located destination.

SCE DJ Tip: Live musicians on the Conservatory veranda add sophistication to a cocktail hour. 

SCE DJ Tip: Couples can choose from the Chapel or outdoors for a ceremony. Be sure to let us know your location, so we can provide the right sound setup.

Like most couples, these two wanted to throw the party of a lifetime. For us, that meant taking the reception to the next level with our top-of-the-line wedding event enhancements in NJ. We worked with the newlyweds to create custom production services that matched the energy and vibe of their celebration. 

SCE DJ Tip: Share your wedding vision with us. We’ll design the right effects for your space, coordinate the flow of your event, and tie it all together with terrific add-ons. 

Mike and Halle’s add-ons included lighting solutions, spark fountains, and live musical performances. The party percussionist and saxophone player jammed with DJ Jason Jani for live musicians and DJ fusion. 

SCE DJ Tip: With towering columns and carved wood arches, the Grand Ballroom is made for lighting treatments that highlight architectural features. 

SCE DJ Tip: While The Ashford Estate doesn’t allow fireworks, you can still light up the night with cold sparks. Use them for a grand entrance or departure.

SCE DJ Tip: Cold Sparks are just one way to enhance your wedding. Our snow effect works beautifully in large ballrooms. And SCE Event Group also offers venue-safe Dancing on Clouds.
