Chippewa Valley Wedding Crashers

Chippewa Valley Wedding Crashers offers wedding DJ services in Eau Claire and wedding photography in Menomonie, Wisconsin. It is run by owners Connelly and Cait, who first teamed up for a single wedding and found that they worked well together.

A good match for LGBTQ+ couples

This is an LGBTQ+-owned business. Booking your music and your photography with one team can simplify a wedding, and it means the two people shaping your reception already know how each other works. That is a calm advantage for couples who want fewer vendors to brief.

How the pair divides the work

Connelly is the DJ, known for reading a crowd and building custom playlists, while the photography side completes the service. The business serves couples in Eau Claire, Menomonie and surrounding areas, and many weddings are held at venues across western Wisconsin.

Getting your music right

Make three lists: songs you must hear, songs you never want to hear and songs for specific moments such as your entrance, first dance and cake. Share announcements and name pronunciations in advance, and tell your DJ how you want to be introduced.

Talk about the flow of the evening with both vendors. Dinner service, toasts and dances all need timing, and the photographer needs a few quiet minutes for portraits. Agree on a rough schedule that includes golden hour.

Area served

The team works in Eau Claire, Menomonie and nearby communities. If your venue is further away, ask about travel arrangements.
