A Signature Blackstone Celebration

Poplar Hill Deserves More Than a Standard Wedding Soundtrack

Poplar Hill combines a farmhouse dating to the 1790s, mature landscaping, open farmland, private rural views, and modern event amenities. Sarah’s Choice builds the music, microphones, announcements, lighting, and reception flow around the property’s distinctive ceremony and celebration spaces.

Professional DJ & MC

Personalized music and confident, polished announcements guide guests through entrances, formalities, dinner, dancing, and the final send-off.

Clear Ceremony Audio

A separate battery-capable sound system supports ceremony music and wireless microphones without requiring nearby venue power.

Venue-Smart Coordination

We coordinate timing and technical needs with the venue, planner, photographer, caterer, and other professionals throughout the celebration.

Two Distinctive Wedding Settings

From the Ceremony Garden to the Pavilion

Outdoor Ceremony Garden

The Ceremony Garden creates a scenic country setting for vows. Thoughtful speaker placement and wireless microphones help every guest hear the music, officiant, readings, and vows clearly.

Enclosed Reception Pavilion

The Pavilion provides a covered reception setting for dining, formal dances, speeches, and an energetic dance floor while preserving the venue’s connection to the surrounding farm.

Historic Farmhouse & Grounds

The restored farmhouse, mature English boxwoods, crepe myrtles, farmland, and pastoral views create memorable backdrops for portraits and guest arrival.

Large-Celebration Capacity

Poplar Hill states that it can host up to 350 guests, allowing room for grand celebrations while maintaining the privacy of a rural farm venue.

One Coordinated Celebration

Music From Arrival Through the Last Dance

Ceremony

Prelude music, processional and recessional cues, and wireless microphones are carefully prepared and timed for the outdoor setting.

Cocktail Hour & Dinner

Curated background music creates the right atmosphere while guests mingle, dine, and enjoy the property without competing with conversation.

Reception

Entrances, toasts, formal dances, cake cutting, open dancing, and the final song are managed with intentional pacing and clear communication.

Designed for a Rural Property

Sound Coverage Without Awkward Gaps

Because Poplar Hill’s ceremony and reception take place in different areas, the entertainment plan should never depend on moving one system while guests wait.

Battery-capable outdoor audio
Wireless officiant and vow microphones

Plan for the Pavilion’s Seasonal Conditions
