Marriage Enrichment Reunion in Chino Hills (Los Angeles Dj Serving Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena)

I was part of this event one more time. The first part of the night was dedicated to easy listening and we played songs by Kenny G which were mostly instrumentals. They also requested the Rat Pack such like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. For the most part, they were announcing winners for raffles and everyone eagerly waited for their number to be called.

  This group loved the slow songs so we had a few special ones that they enjoyed.  At Last by Etta James, Elvis Presley I Can’t Help Falling in Love and It’s a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong were slow song classics that got everyone to the floor.

We did a who has been married the longest contest where we excused folks who have only been married 5 years, then 8, then 15 then 20 and 25. The winning couple spent 65 years together so that by far was the longest than everyone in the building. We did a little country but most of the music was 80s music and the song that really got a good feedback was Standing Still by Elton John.

It was a good vibe overall for the event. It was held in the church hall which is super nice but they rarely have events there. It can easily be rented out for events but the church just does it for its own events. I believe they just want to keep it nice. People loved the old school music. They liked the disco and the 80’s classics. The hosts treated me well and it was a good event which everyone seemed happy.

The quinceañera was amazing! I arrived an hour and a half early to make sure the stage was set up, and with everyone in place at the church we were able to start 15 minutes ahead of schedule. For three hours it was all appetizers and dinner - but then things really got creative. The presentation of the birthday girl

The quinceañera was an unforgettable experience! I arrived an hour and a half early to make sure the stage was ready, and once we had everyone in place at the church, we were off to a great start by starting 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

For three hours it was nothing but appetizers and dinner - until 630 when the presentation of the court began. The birthday girl had a beautiful moment that she shared with her grandfather, dancing together as all their loved ones looked on with admiration. Then things got even more unique; each member of the court had a special dance sequence with the birthday girl, featuring a pre-made mix of different songs ranging from high school hip hop beats to classic Spanish hits like cumbia. Everyone in attendance could feel the love radiating from them as they gracefully moved in unison across the dance floor.

It was an incredible experience that will stay in my heart forever - one that I'll never forget!

I did this event and I was given two songs to play and with two genres not to play: No gangster rap and no woman bashing songs. That is the first time I had those two requirements. Usually at a school you have to play songs with no profanity and with good messages. So a lot of the newer music has content that maybe questionable. When in doubt, then its best to go old school. When the event started I went with Motown to set the mood. Motown gets people moving and in a festive mood. Then during the dinner portion we went with some classic slow songs and r&b so people could talk at regular levels and not have to speak too loud over the music.

During the night, they had to make many announcements and my microphone was ready to go. It did make it hard during the dance set since it is all about momentum but people stayed on the dance-floor. The host was running the event so I let him run the event. I would have loved to mix the hour and half music set non stop but there had to be announcements. But after each announcement I would have to make sure I had sure jam in the batter box to lead with.

Once again it was the Latin music that got everyone on the floor. I prepped for 70s and 80s and some 90s but going with cumbias was the way to go.
