Even though you haven’t heard from us lately, we have been busy.  Weddings and parties every month. One thing that has been on my mind lately is that a good DJ must always be ready for anything. Equipment failures, changes at the last minute, etc.

Our dedication is to your celebration.  That is our moto, and not everyone you call is as true to that.  Just because they are cheaper does not mean they are better. No matter what anyone says, DJ’ing is a full time gig and I love it!

Anyway,  what I’m trying to say is this;  don’t go for the cheapest go for the best.  To all professionals don’t sell yourself short.  If you are good at what you do people will book your services.

My daughters and I even made the ABC27 Evening News that night

This reception was fun and yet wholly authentic in sincerity and celebration.  The newlyweds chose to honor their guests by doing an “Anniversary Dance,” which starts with all married couples on the dance floor.  Years and then decades of marriage are asked to move to the side of the dance floor until the new bride and groom are accompanied only by the longest married couple in attendance.  It is always a very poignant moment.

They also asked their guests to gather in a “Closing Circle,” where each guest is given the opportunity to give advice, wish them well, or tell a fond memory.  And in closing, the bride and groom are given the chance to thank their guests for being a part of their special day.

While I always include some of my own photos in these posts, I like to acknowledge the hired photographer for the event, Voni Photography & Fine Arts, and the videographer, Phil Spreadbury.

As you can see below, we had our third assistant along and it was so nice to find we had place cards acknowledging each one of us.  And how cute is it that Shawn and I had two stones on our card – one for each of us!  It’s the little touches that make me smile

Rettews Catering was also first class and great to work with.

Sir D’s Catering was very professional and the food was amazing!  You can see more about Sir D’s on their website here.

Now that we’ve done a handful of engagements with two assistants, we’re officially spoiled.

Since Shawn is still in a boot and enduring physical therapy, the extra assistant continues to be a necessity.  But when he’s all healed up, we may just keep the third wheel rolling

Shawn spent hours listening to the requests they were posting on their Facebook page and ruled out a great majority of them after the first few bars.  I can’t imagine what would have happened if he didn’t because even with all of his preparation, our “clean” radio versions somehow got all of their swear words back in them from the dance floor instead of the sound system.  And to be honest, I remember the days when I was one of those carefree kids on the dance floor making my chaperons nervous.

Should I even mention the fact that I’ve never seen kids dance the way they do today and completely date myself?!  Naah…

Instead I’ll share these pictures of some pretty happy prom goers and send a few prayers out into the world

Can you guess which sharp dressed couple we are?!  Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!

Even though it was a small private party, with an obviously close group of ladies, there are always a few obstacles to overcome.  We weren’t slated to play dinner music but there were delays and they hadn’t even started eating by the time we were supposed to start playing.  Our great host for the evening, Tracy, wasn’t sure what we would be willing to do but we assured her that it’s our policy to “go with the flow” and that we were there for her!  We quickly discussed what type of cocktail/dinner music they would like and got to work.

Throughout the evening we played at least one song from the last 4 decades in order to please everyone (Shawn and I love it all).  The number one favorite song of the night had to be, “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey since the LCC ladies weren’t the most winning-est team last year, but they are determined to improve their game this year!

I also want to mention a special “Thank you” to Molly for recommending us for the night!  We hope you all have a great year and invite us back to celebrate with you again!
