The best wedding referrals are from past clients. Jennifer and Matt were referred to me by their friends, after attending their wedding, which I DJ’d. Jen and Matt wanted a simple, but fun party. Everything took place at The Bridgeport Clubhouse, with the ceremony and reception both in the same room. This can be a challenge unless you have a great coordinator with a great staff. (They had both). All the guests moved out to the patio where there was music, hand passed appetizers, and an open bar. The staff on hand quickly turned the entire room around in under an hour.
When the guests returned to the main room, they were treated to a fun party with great food and some surprises. The best surprise was the prank Jen played on Matt. Matt has a little game he plays with friends called “Icing.” He will hide a bottle of Smirnoff Ice somewhere, and when someone finds the bottle, they have to immediately take a knee and drain it. Using duct tape, Jen strapped a bottle of Smirnoff Ice to her leg before the garter toss. When Matt found it, the crowd erupted, and he had to drain the bottle right then and there. It’s little things like this that make every single wedding unique and different.
The party was outrageous! Since I DJ’d for some of this crowd before, I knew what they liked: lots of off the wall requests! From Party In The USA, to Return Of The Mack, the after party was a trip down their high school memory lane. Whenever you can hit nostalgic songs with a group of people who remember them, it doesn’t matter how silly or cheesy the song is or was, the crowd will love it! Jen and Matt’s guests will forever remember the great time they had at their wedding!
