    Hannah & Sean’s Wedding 3-28-26

    It’s been a while since I shared a playlist, so let me remedy this! I DJ’ed Hannah and Sean’s wedding in Austin at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum on the UT-Austin campus. This was my first time DJ’ing there, though I have another wedding lined up at the same site later this year, and it’s quite a venue! Where else can you sip cocktails amidst art deco decor, next to a Tyrannosaurus Rex while a Pterodactyl soars overhead? Yep, that’s what’s in the great hall, which was where we set up the photobooth, and where the cocktails were served. The ceremony, and later dinner and dancing, were outdoors in the plaza, and everything was fabulous.

    For the ceremony, the couple chose two songs.

    Processional: The Lark Ascending – Ralph Vaughan Williams
    Recessional: Never Walk Alone – BLOND:ISH

    After cocktails, I brought the couple into the party with a rousing introduction, and played their song of choice.

  • Emm & Mikey’s Wedding 9-20-25

    Emm & Mikey’s Wedding 9-20-25

    Yesterday I DJ’ed at a venue I’ve never played before, Golden Pine in Smithville. It turns out that yesterday’s wedding was the first they’d hosted, so no wonder I’d never been there! Despite it being their maiden voyage for weddings, everything went off without a hitch, and you’d have assumed they’d been hosting weddings for decades. The site itself is beautiful, and the venue is nestled into a lovely forest. I played from a balcony, outside an air-conditioned banquet room, overlooking a large lawn shaded by trees. It is truly an idyllic setting for a wedding!

    Here’s my view from the balcony.

    The wedding was just as wonderful as its setting. It was catered by Mandola’s, which was a treat for me as I love Italian food. And while I’m shouting out vendors, I have to mention the photographer, Evelyn Rude. She stayed for the entire event, which is not always the case with photographers, which meant there was no need to do a “fake sendoff” or rush anything, and she was always on the spot and ready to capture special moments.

    As for me, I was asked to play music for dinner, and for the dancing that followed, and the timeline allowed for a relaxed pace. I really love it when a wedding timeline allows for several hours of dancing. Too often the timeline leaves only 2 hours, or even 90 minutes, for dancing, and that’s never enough. Last night I had 3 1/2 hours in which to play dance music for the guests, and even when the last song finished, they wanted more. Instead, we handed them bubbles, and sent them out front to give Emm and Mikey a beautiful send off!

  • Jordan & AJ’s Wedding 10-27-24

    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 is that they happened to want to hear music that I enjoy– Lo-Fi electronic music, indie rap, and country, with some classics mixed in, and they didn’t mind if there wasn’t a radio-friendly version. It was about the vibe and the music. I’d have probably listened to the same songs had I not been working yesterday!

    Yesterday’s wedding took place at the Sunset Cliff Resort on Lake Travis. It’s a beautiful spot, with a large lawn that overlooks the lake. It has everything needed for a gorgeous outdoor wedding. It’s great for a DJ, as you can pull in and load right where you’ll play, and one setup covers the ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing. Truly an all-in-one location!

    Sunset Cliff Resort Lake Travis

    The entire day was a relaxed, low-key affair. There was no timeline, no planner, nothing but me and a big group of the couple’s family and friends. Everyone was pleasant, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the music at all times. During cocktails, I saw a couple of the older guests get up and dance by their seats when I put on Mac Miller, and I knew I was in the right place.

    When it finally came time to officially start dancing, people were ready. I’d seen many of them dancing in place during cocktails and dinner, and everyone was ready to go, so when “Neon Moon” came on, the dance floor filled up more or less instantly. It stayed full for the duration of the dancing, which only lasted for an hour. I’d have gladly played on, but I was told they had a hard stop. I was able to sneak in one extra song, so I let the country roads take everyone home.

    Here are the songs I played. And no, it’s not a typo. I played “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” twice in a row. As the song was winding down, someone came running from the dance floor and said the groom wants to know if I can play the song again as soon as it’s over. You bet I can! You should have seen the groom launch himself in the air when it came on again!

  • Katie & Daniel’s Wedding 10-26-24

    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 I didn’t think to check for myself ahead of time. I’ve only myself to blame! Nonetheless, I always give myself a huge time cushion, so I had everything inside and was completely set and ready to go an hour before my scheduled start time.

    Stairs aside, the Quince Lakehouse is a terrific wedding venue, and one I hope to back at soon, albeit with a roadie next time! It sits right over the Colorado River, and offers a stunning view of the water.

    From there, the evening went beautifully. I had the chance to play with a saxophone accompaniment for part of the night. I’ve worked in the past with Colin Houlihan, so when I learned he was going to be playing along with me, I was happy. He’s great, and easy to work with. Best of all, crowds love him, which means the love me by extension! In all, it always makes for a fun night when I get to play alongside any musician, but especially someone I’ve worked well with in the past.

    I felt very in tune with the crowd all night, as if I were always just a half step ahead of where they wanted to go, and I was able to lead them on a fun musical journey. Perhaps the best example of that came when a guest came up and asked if I could play “Fernando” by ABBA sometime soon. As she said that, I was in the act of pressing play on the song I had cued up: “Fernando” by ABBA. She was shocked, to say the least, and joined the screaming guests on the dance floor to sing along with the song.

  • Winnie and Max’s Wedding 10-19-24

    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 both an outdoor ceremony area and a chapel, several outdoor spaces for cocktails and a comfortable indoor space with air conditioning for a reception. It’s a space that can easily be transformed with lighting into nearly any aesthetic of vibe you are seeking.

    The couple and their friends were a laid-back, fun-loving group, and it was a joy to play for them. Their timeline provided plenty of time to eat and enjoy one another’s company, while still leaving nearly 3 hours for dancing. Despite that extended time for tunes, it seemed that hardly anyone left early, and the dance floor stayed full up until the final song.

    Here are the songs I played to create a soundtrack for their special day!

    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 venue staff is friendly, and the in-house catering makes fantastic food. Best of all, wedding guests always seem really happy and relaxed at Camp Lucy, and events there have a posh, yet laid back, vibe that is perfect for a wedding.

    Yesterday’s wedding had a lot of moving parts, all of which came together seamlessly, with the result being a perfect wedding. Between a 3 microphone ceremony setup, sound systems set up in 3 distinct areas, and a full lighting package that included custom lavender-colored uplights, I had many elements to attend to, and happily, it all worked exactly as hoped.

    Usually, it’s the bride who hires me and handles the bulk of the planning, but this time around it was the groom. He was really easy to work with, and had some great ideas for the music, including the Midnite String Quartet tracks to be played before the ceremony began. He chose the bride’s processional song, which was a surprise for her, and the Gordon Lightfoot song he chose was perfect, as was his choice for their recessional. He also chose one of the dance tracks, an uptempo electronic song by his daughter Sofia, aka So4py Sof. That energized the crowd, and kept things lively on the dance floor. Despite being a slightly older group, last night’s guests hit the dance floor from the moment it opened– actually, they hit the floor earlier, as there were already some dancers when it was time to switch to “official” dance time and have the couple’s first dance– and stayed there until the very last song.

    Nothing makes me happier than seeing dancers react positively to the songs I choose for them, and I really do believe that my song selections, and microphone work, along with the couple’s pre-event requests, were a large part of what turned what could have been an event that ended early into a fun and energetic dance party. And on that topic, here’s a recap of everything I played yesterday.

  • Hailey & Nakia’s Wedding 9-28-24

    Hailey & Nakia’s Wedding 9-28-24

    Not only am I an Austin wedding DJ, I’m a Dripping Springs wedding DJ, too. Case in point, I was at Ma Maison yesterday, a beautiful wedding venue in Dripping Springs, and one at which I often play. The day started with an outdoor ceremony in the grove, followed by cocktails on the trellis, and capped with dinner and dancing in the great hall. The guests yesterday made my job easy. They were a lively, fun bunch.

    Normally, when I introduce the couple into the reception hall I need to get the guests warmed up and ready to make noise for the bride and groom, but this group was deafening from the start. By the time I brought Hailey and Nakia into the room you’d have thought there was a football match taking place in that room for all the screaming and stomping. I love that kind of energy, as it usually manifests later that night on the dance floor.

    That’s exactly what happened last night. When it came time to dance I had the group screaming and bouncing off the walls from start to finish. By the time I closed the night everyone looked exhausted and happy, and the happy couple had nothing but praise for me while we waited for the room to clear so I could start their private last dance.

    The entire event crew was a joy to work with, including Melanie and Aubrey from Something to Celebrate, Dani Quiroz and Brenna, who took photos, and the entire Ma Maison staff. At many venues you have to hunt high and low to find the one on-site representative, but Ma Maison seems always to have a full staff on hand, ready to handle anything and everything that pops up.

    Here are all the songs I played throughout the course of the wedding day festivities.
