Isaac & Mathee Carter’s outdoor wedding took place at the stunning Ste. Chapelle Winery in Caldwell, Idaho on a Thursday afternoon in June. What started off as a potential rain-out turned into a beautiful end-of-spring celebration. The clouds came close to drowning us out earlier in the day, but fortunately for The Carter’s and their guests Mother Nature wouldn’t allow it! Here is their wedding recap:
The day started off with the ceremony in the perfectly landscaped lawn with a backdrop of the Snake River and Owyhee Mountains. We transitioned to the wedding reception on the adjacent lawn & gazebo where the 200+ guests enjoyed dinner, dancing, a photo booth (Treasure Valley Photo Booth) and the warm company of friends and family.
The following video is a recap of our high-energy dance party. It was such a blast! I’m truly honored to have been chosen as the wedding DJ & MC for Mathee & Isaac’s big day. (Who says you can’t get down in broad daylight on Thursday afternoon?!)
Also, a huge THANK YOU to Mike Tetro with Tetro Productions for producing this wedding recap! You can check out the full production here.

Also, Mathee left a very kind review for me on WeddingWire.com/RhodesEntertainment. Feel free to check it out:
“I am so thankful for Eric and his service! He was super flexible, he responded to all of my questions within such a short amount of time. Our wedding day could not have gone as smooth as it did had Eric not been our DJ! Eric’s professionalism and his love for this profession is so apparent in the way he conducted himself the whole time! If you’re hesitating about whether or not you need a DJ, I’ll just let you know that I was too. But you really do need an MC to make your day go smoothly! We played the shoe game, the money dance and we danced the night away! If you’re looking for a family friendly, awesome party on your wedding night, Eric is your guy!”
