Real Wedding at Camp Elsewhere in Waupaca, WI | Forest Ceremony + Lodge Reception DJ
Real Wedding: Ashleigh & Travis at Camp Elsewhere in Waupaca, WI

Looking for a DJ for your Camp Elsewhere wedding in Waupaca, Wisconsin?
Ashleigh & Travis planned a forest ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, tented dinner, and lodge reception — and Sound Sensations Entertainment brought the music to every location with three custom setups and a packed dance floor to finish the night.
How We Made the Music Flow at This Multi-Zone Waupaca Wedding
Planning a wedding at Camp Elsewhere means thinking about sound in more than one location — and that’s exactly where our team shines.
Here’s how we ensured a seamless experience for every guest, in every space:
- Ceremony in the Woods: Powered by a Jackery battery system, we delivered clear audio for their vows in a completely off-grid forest setting.
- Cocktail Hour: Music played throughout the lodge and outdoor patio while the couple took photos.
- Dinner Under the Tent: A curated dinner playlist helped set the tone for heartfelt toasts and great food.
- Reception Dance in the Lodge: The floor stayed packed all night.
This multi-zone setup is part of our Platinum DJ Package, ideal for couples planning weddings in remote or rustic venues across Central and Northeast Wisconsin.
Ceremony Music Selections
Ashleigh & Travis chose sentimental, modern instrumental tracks to make their ceremony truly theirs:
- Prelude: Instrumental Covers Playlist
- Processional (Groom & Family): From This Moment On – Guitar Dreamers
- Bride Processional: Until I Found You (Violin) – Taylor Davis
- Recessional: Kiss Me – Sixpence None the Richer (timed perfectly with their kiss at 0:39)
Cocktail Hour on the Lodge Patio
While guests mingled and grabbed drinks, their custom curated cocktail hour playlist played in the background — relaxed, joyful, and perfect for a spring evening in Waupaca.
Grand March & Dinner Highlights
Energy was high as each group made their entrance to a custom song clip:
Groomsmen:
Any Man of Mine – Shania Twain
Bridesmaids:
This Is What Dreams Are Made Of – Hilary Duff
Couple Entrance:
Forever – Chris Brown
After a welcome by Travis, guests enjoyed a plated dinner to their custom curated Dinner Playlist, and listened to toasts from family and friends, including Grandma Nelly (a crowd favorite!).
First Dances & Reception Moments
- First Dance: Sweet Symphony – Joy Oladokun ft. Chris Stapleton
- Ashleigh & Grandpa Joe: I Hope You Dance – Corey Asbury
- Travis & Mom Lori:
Thought You Should Know – Morgan Wallen (intro during first 20 seconds, then fade near the end)
Sound Sensations Entertainment also provided a fun photo booth which opened at 7:00 pm, giving guests fun, shareable moments throughout the evening.
Dance Floor Highlights
From high-energy line dances to surprise performances, this group kept the party going:
Group Photo Song:
Shut Up and Dance – Walk The Moon
Line Dance Surprise:
Cotton Eyed Joe Remix – led by the bridesmaids
Fun Fact: This couple specifically requested “no Bruno Mars” — so we delivered a fully customized playlist that matched their taste and kept the floor packed all night!
