Zoe and Julian came over from their home in Costa Rica to be married on home turf in their neck of the woods - Fulham. Not unsurprisingly the armosphere of the day, including the music, carried Latin vibes, and a general international flavour as guests had journeyed from all corners of the globe to attend. I was delighted to be their London Wedding DJ for such a grand affair. Zoe and Julian had asked me to plan and supply
ceremony music
mood lighting for the ceremony, drinks and canapes and evening reception party
jazz, swing, latin and blues music for drinks and canapes using my portable battery powered speaker system
swing, lounge and jazz music for the wedding breakfast
wireless microphones for the speeches
DJ for the evening reception
There was a strong social buzz all day and the evening party went with a swing - see the full playlist below.
