This weekend, love was in the air at a beautiful wedding in Los Angeles, where Eric and Jessica tied the knot in an unforgettable celebration filled with family, friends, and music that captured every emotion.

The festivities began as the DJ arrived at 4:00 PM to set up for an evening of dancing and joy. By 5:00 PM, the romantic sounds of a live mariachi band filled the venue, delighting guests until 6:30 PM. Right after, the energy shifted with the grand entrance — the wedding party made their debut to “Safaera” by Bad Bunny, followed by the couple’s entrance to “Eoo,” also by Bad Bunny.

At 6:40 PM, heartfelt toasts were made, with Eric and Jessica thanking their guests for sharing this special day. Dinner followed at 7:00 PM with a carefully curated 25-song Spotify playlist, creating the perfect ambiance.

By 7:45 PM, the emotional first dance took place to “Diez Pasos Hacia Ti.” Eric shared a sweet dance with his daughters to “Sea of Love,” and Jessica danced with her son to “Photograph.”

Dancing kicked off at 7:55 PM with a high-energy Spotify playlist, leading into the 8:30 PM cake-cutting while “Dream a Little Dream” and “Die with a Smile” played. At 8:45 PM, guests enjoyed the garter toss to “Titi Me Preguntó” and a fun bouquet toss to “La Peinada.”

The evening wrapped with a romantic money dance to “Marry You,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” and “Y Llegaste Tú,” saving “Just Like Heaven” and “Memories” as the perfect songs to end a perfect night in Los Angeles.  Lots  of reggaeton  and  cumbias.

Recently did a wedding downtown San Jose at a brewery. The brewery was in a different area and we had the whole outside to ourselves. We had a nice shiny dance floor where we held the ceremony. The ceremony was a tad bit behind schedule but we were able to catch up with all the events scheduled. The officiant had a nice ceremony and we learned more about the couple. After the ceremony we were supposed to do cocktail hour but since we were behind we jumped right into dinner without missing the beat. Sometimes you need to go with the flow.

  The playlist had a lot of hits on it. The groom liked indie music so we played a lot of that. I was not familiar with his kind of music but I made sure I played it. We even went Bay Area music which was easy for me. I did like how we went all over the place to keep the guests on the dance floor.

  Overall it was a fun intimate wedding. Guests were able to get their requests in and we played it then and there. We didn’t do the all typical wedding events. We did the toasts and the first dance plus father daughter dance and mother son dance. Sometimes we shorten the songs but they danced to the whole songs. Not all weddings are the same not they should be. All weddings shims be customized to each couple. We did not do a grand entrance since the couple was already at the venue.

We did a beautiful back yard wedding in Hollister which had a beatiful view of the country side. We were able to get pages of Country hits and we did mostly country the whole night with some classics thrown in the mix. During cocktail and dinner hour we did lots of country. The biggest requests had to be Morgan Wallet As the night progressed bellies full of food and glasses full of wine., Guest started getting eager for the dance portion of the night. After some emotional speeches, we let it whip with some top 40, classic funky  hits from 70s and 80s, Hits of the night included Too hot by Kool and the Gang ,Cupid shuffle by Cupid, September by Earth Wind and Fire and slow song of the night was  Waiting for a Girl like You by Foreigner. The night kept going and people danced for the last 2 hours that remained at the event non stop, up until the last minute that we had to go! Glad we could be part of such a beautiful night full of fun memories! 

What made it magical was the bride and groom. They made the party happen with their energy and their ability to host a fun party.

 No two weddings are ever the same. Each wedding we do is costumed for the couple. When planning my latest wedding then we found out the wedding was a non dance wedding. I have never done one before but I was willing to take it on. As a dj you are trained to build a dance floor and keep on building it with the progression of playing good dance music. But then again every wedding is a custom wedding and I wanted to be a part of it.

  Typically, when you work on a wedding you have 2 to 3 hours of open dancing. But when you are not having dancing at all period you have to schedule other activities. I was in charge of finding out some fun games for the wedding. I did share some ideas with the couple and they opted to do family feud and some music trivia. So I went to find some really good family feud questions and saw some episodes to remind me how the game went and went over the rules. As for the game trivia I looked at the top hits for a certain decade and also got come classic TV show theme songs. It would bring back the good ole days.

 I was prepared for the game activities. During the actual wedding, the couple spent a lot of time in the photo booth. We ended up doing the bouquet toss. We did have a sparkler exit. There were two lines of guests with sparklers and the couple walks down. It wasn’t too dark yet but it still looked nice.

 We are having a heat wave during this month of September. Heatwave or not I always talk to the planner about having some sort of shade for my gear. With extreme heat, it can cause the speakers to shut off and also the computer will not play music.

  We were having a nice outside ceremony. Right before the ceremony everyone was trying to cool down in the bar area and were reluctant to go outside. The venue did provide some umbrellas spread out amongst the chairs.

 The ceremony had two officiants with some who specialized in the Jewish culture while the other focused on the Spanish component.

It was a nice blend of two cultures and the bride and groom left the ceremony with a festive Spanish song.

  For the cocktail hour, we played Spanish bolero music. Bolero is like slow tempo Spanish music. It was love themed. Again everyone was in the bar area and not in the reception area. We had to round everyone out to the reception area so we can do grand entrance.

 Bridal party came out to Big Energy by Latto while the bride and groom came out to Through the Fire by Chaka Khan. We had Spanish and English announcements. We had a bilingual emcee.

But we can tell everyone wanted to dance. And we gave them what they wanted: Lots of Salsa and Spanish hitters to get everyone moving. Of course Bad Bunny was requested and they got him. Bride and groom got a confetti send off which made an awesome picture.

Right off Highway 152 in Gilroy, there is a winery that can hold many kinds of events. There is plenty of space around it to have a good festive event there. The winery is called Fortino Winery.

I had a call for a Holiday party for a school at Fortino Winery. I have gone to Fortino Winery a few times since its one of my favorites wineries with one of the best tasting rooms around. I do like the fact that it has a long bar at the tasting room and friendly hosts. I  always wanted to play there since it has a good feel.

At Fortino Winery they have a large area for big events. They are able to hold large weddings at their facility. They do also have a smaller venue area to have smaller parties. At this event they had about 10 tables with 10 seats each. You can easily fit 3 more tables to have at least 130 guests at this wine house venue. They had 10 tables and they had plenty of room for a dance floor and an area for the dj plus an area for the phtobooth and it’s props.  On the opposite end they had a self served drink station and a bartender serving drinks on the other end.  

Staff was very friendly and accommodating which a plus at a venue. At some venues, some staff members may say hi but Fortino staff made sure we were taking care of. So if they are that great to the vendors imagine how nice their guests.

Menlo Park Wedding Venue Holbrook Palmer Park

Up the 101 there is a pretty park that can hold weddings and private functions. Included is a ceremony area that includes trees and stairs great for pictures. One can hold a small intimate wedding at the venue. Then they can walk about a 150 steps to get to the dinner slash cocktail area which is an outside area. It would be an ideal for a summer gathering. There is shade for the outside the dinner slash cocktail area. 

I was part of a beautiful wedding celebration this past Saturday. I set up in the corner of the ceremony in the shade which I was so grateful. Classical music from Bach and Beethoven was the pre-ceremony music but the rest of the music was so unique. It was by far a very custom event and not your cookie cutter ceremony.  In the procession, a dancer gave her interpretation of a catchy muppet song. The officiant was a friend of the bride and groom and he said great insights about the couple. The couple had touching vows that they shared with their guests. 

There were many highlights of the night but one that stuck out was the bride wanted to dedicate a song to her new husband. She was able to arrange an instrumental and sing a beautiful song in front of everyone right after the thank you speech. It was a big surprise for everyone. Everyone knew the bride can sing but no one knew she was going to give them this treat.
