8 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a DJ
I’ve seen variations on this post before, and want to offer my own take on the topic of what questions to ask a DJ during the hiring process. I’ve been an Austin wedding DJ for many years, and the DJ for at least 1,000 weddings by now, and I’m happy to share some insights I’ve […]
Demand Factor Dinner 11-4-24
Last night I DJ’ed a dinner event for a corporate client. That’s right, a rare Monday night DJ gig! It was held at the Archer Hotel in Austin, a great spot near The Domain. This was my first time at the Archer, and I hope it won’t be my last. It’s a wonderful spot for […]
Alyssa & Alex’s Wedding 11-2-24
I was back at Camp Lucy yesterday. I just played a wedding there last month, and another in May, making this my third appearance there this year. As always, it was a great time. I started the day by providing microphones for the ceremony in Ian’s Chapel, while music was provided by a string duet from Terra Vista Strings. […]
Austin’s Most Interesting Wedding Venues
Austin is one of the largest cities in the United States, which means a great many weddings happen here every week. That translates into a surfeit of wedding venues, many of which I’ve been to as a wedding DJ. Usually, by the time a couple gets around to hiring their DJ they’ve already chosen their […]
Jordan & AJ’s Wedding 10-27-24
I love playing for couples like Jordan and AJ. They wanted to hear their own flavors of music, and they wanted me to avoid the overplayed wedding hits once dancing started, but they also understood that my job is to make people dance, and they gave me the freedom to do just that. Another plus […]
Katie & Daniel’s Wedding 10-26-24
Yesterday’s wedding got off to a rough start, but only because I arrived to find there were two flights of stairs between me and where I had to set up. I didn’t know this ahead of time, because I was white-labeling for another company, and I guess they didn’t think to ask about stairs, and […]
Formula 1 Tower Club, Day Three 10-20-24
When I was asked to DJ the Formula 1 Tower Club events this past weekend, I was already booked on the Saturday, which meant they only got me for two of their event’s three days. I don’t know who they had come in for day two, but I get the feeling he was something of […]
Winnie and Max’s Wedding 10-19-24
I DJ’ed yesterday at the Allegro Wedding & Events Venue in Dripping Springs. It was my first time there, and I hope to be back soon. It’s an understated, modern yet rustic venue with a history to it, but a place that’s been kept up and modernized over time. It has everything needed for a wedding, including […]
Formula 1 Tower Club, Day One 10-18-24
You might think an 8-hour-long gig that starts at 8:30 am might be a drag, especially when you hear I was out of bed at 5:30 am in order to be there and set up on time, but you’d be wrong. Yesterday’s event practically flew by, both figuratively and literally (it was an auto race!), […]
Megan & Kevin’s Wedding 10-11-24
Yesterday’s wedding was held at the Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin. It’s a great place for a banquet of any sort, and an absolutely perfect place for a wedding. And I’m not just saying that because I was served a delicious ribeye steak last night! The wedding ceremony took place in a separate room, and I was […]
Deb & Andrew’s Wedding 10-5-24
I DJ’ed a wedding in Dripping Springs yesterday, at Camp Lucy, a venue at which I frequently perform. This was my third time playing there this year, and I’ll be there again next month. Happily, it’s a great venue. It’s easy to load in and out of the various event spaces, of which they have many, the […]
