What Entertainment Works Best at David’s Country Inn?

Why We Love David’s Country Inn
David’s Country Inn has a country setting that feels genuinely unique, paired with a ballroom that has been refurbished into a stylish, elegant space. One detail that sets the room apart is its second floor gallery, couples actually have a choice of where to set entertainment up, on the lower level near the dance floor, or upstairs overlooking the room. We always recommend the lower level, it keeps the band or DJ close to the dance floor and the energy connected to guests rather than performing from above.
What Entertainment Works Best at David’s Country Inn
A DJ, hybrid, or full band all work well in the ballroom at David’s Country Inn. Because the room has two levels, where entertainment is set up actually matters here in a way it doesn’t at most venues. Setting up on the lower level keeps the performance close to the dance floor and helps maintain energy throughout the night, which is the setup we recommend for most couples. Uplighting is also a great addition in this space, adding ambiance that complements the ballroom’s recent refurbishment.
Ceremony Music at David’s Country Inn
Whether the ceremony takes place in the ballroom or out on the patio, a string trio or string quartet is a beautiful, classic choice. A violin and cello duo also works well for a more intimate moment.
Cocktail Hour Music at David’s Country Inn
David’s Country Inn has a piano available in the cocktail space, which makes solo piano a natural and elegant choice for this part of the day. A jazz trio is another strong option that fits the venue’s country elegant character. An acoustic duo works well for couples who want something a little more relaxed while guests mingle.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: A flexible option for the ballroom, with an event host who can read the room, ideally set up on the lower level near the dance floor.
Hybrid: Brings live energy and the best of both worlds, and works especially well when set up close to guests on the ballroom’s lower level.
Band: A strong fit for couples who want a fully live reception, with the lower level setup keeping the band’s energy connected to the dance floor.

"When it came to wedding DJs, once we met with Tom G and Mike S of EMG we knew that there was no other company for us. EMG’s professionalism from our first meeting to the day of our wedding was out of this world and they killed it from the beautiful music they played at our ceremony, executing the musicality of our custom cocktail hour playlist flawlessly, and reading the vibe of our guests and putting together an excellent mix of music throughout the night. Tom and Mike have amazing energy and know how to work the crowd."
"Our DJ was Bryan and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. He arrived very early the day of the wedding to set up and ensure everything was perfect. He listened to every single song request we had given to him prior to the wedding and made them all flow together for a wonderful combination of oldies, motown, pop, country, hip-hop, etc. He kept the songs changing frequently enough that you never got sick of what was playing. EVERYONE was up dancing. Even the guests who swore they weren’t dancers could not resist dancing. Our guests have been commenting on the music and what a fantastic job Bryan did. One of my main concerns was having music that appealed to people of all generations and kept people on their feet. Bryan managed to created the perfect mix and exceeded our expectations."
