Last Weekend’s Weddings

Posted in: Blog by admin on August 7, 2007

There were two different styles of weddings this weekend.

This weekend was a very pleasant change of pace!  On Friday I performed at a wedding dance at the Ramada Inn in Fargo.  The groom and his whole family were from Hawaii.  It was a wonderful change of pace to play some Hawaiian and Reggae music.  Some DJs say that you play the same standard songs at every wedding dance.  Not True!  While some favorites may always be requested, I love to mix it up with what the crowd asks for.

They had a very cool tradition.  The bride put money in the bouquet when she tossed it.  They were a very lovely family and I know they will do well….ahh the romance, that’s what I love about weddings.  There was one very funny thing that happened.  The matron of honor was giving her toast.  She thanked the groom’s family for traveling so far (5,000 miles) to be at their wedding.  She then also noted that they called the United States the mainland.   She then mentioned that it was their first trip to the United States.   I had to chuckle…and kind of wanted to ask some silly question like “Does anyone have a Hawaiian dollar bill?”

On Saturday Sarah was the DJ for the wedding at the Teamsters.  At this wedding the bride and her family was Hispanic.  Sarah said she had just a great time playing Latino music and mixing it up with the other standards. She had a smile on her face and great satisfaction to say that the dance floor was full all night long.  I kind of wanted to do that wedding too, but hey I gotta let my employees go to work too!

We have some very exciting news coming up!  We are now offering a new service!  Check in for my next blog to find out!
