We absolutely loved DJ P-LO. Not only is he a great DJ, but he also plays the trumpet. Our guests loved him, and I constantly had people coming up to me saying, “What a great DJ!”

Firsthand Vanderbilt Terrace Notes
A verified floor plan positioned ceremony seating, dinner tables, guest entry, entertainment and dancing within one connected footprint.
Vows and processional music need coverage designed for an outdoor terrace—not the assumptions of an indoor ballroom.
One real timeline moved guests from the ceremony into cocktail hour with DJ music and live saxophone before dinner seating.
Access windows, routes, power, parking and weather plans are confirmed with the current venue team because resort operations can change.
Venue-Specific, Not Generic
Vanderbilt Terrace is an open-air venue overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Weather, wind, cable protection and the venue-approved backup plan should be reviewed before entertainment equipment is placed.
Omni currently lists Vanderbilt Terrace at 4,290 square feet, measuring 66 by 65 feet, with published banquet and reception capacities of 75 guests. Couples should confirm their final layout and capacity directly with the venue.
A verified DJ P-LO wedding plan used Vanderbilt Terrace for the ceremony, cocktail-hour transition, plated dinner, formalities and dancing. The event team coordinated guest entry, seating, tables and the entertainment area within one connected terrace plan.
The current access window, approved loading route, equipment parking, electrical access, cable path, sound limits and weather backup should be confirmed with the Grove Park event team. These operating details can change and are reviewed for each event rather than assumed from a past date.
