I’m not only an Austin wedding DJ, I’m an Austin wedding anniversary DJ, too! Just last night I DJ’ed a 50th wedding anniversary at the River Place Country Club in Austin. Everything was just right. The guests were happy and friendly, and very appreciative of both my music and the photobooth I brought along. The food was delicious, and once dinner was done and the lights went down (and my lights went up), the party was on!
Here’s a recap of the music that made the night special.
