Jenni and Clive chose a beautifully located and historic venue for their wedding celebration, where I was delighted to be #weddingdjlondon as well as supply mood lighting throughout the whole function room. Jenni and Clive were very keen to enhance the elegant features of the venue as well as not overcrowd it, and between us we achieved a great balance...."just perfect" were the groom's comments.
The bride and groom requested a wide range of tunes, including some great singalongs as well as favouring the Kisstory era; as did their guests. We had lots of shout outs also. A great night to be a Wedding DJ London; see the full playlist below.
Of course the bride and groom entered fully into the masquerade theme, and here they are on their First Dance.
Jenni and Clive cracked some great shapes and fully entered into the fun of the night
The main bridal colour was a light teal and I was delighted to hit the right colour with the mood lighting - spot on first time! Later in the evening many of the lights were turned off to improve ambience for dancing, and a couple were switched to a dynamic mode, changing colour with the music.
Many of the guests made music requests which I was delighted to play; requests are always welcomed either in advance via the online client system, or on the night. With over 200 guests it was a case of moving genres and playing to particular groups in turn as the tastes were quite varied. The group came toegther at the end for a rousing end to the evening.
