Vince and Nicole had their ceremony offsite so this Hayfield wedding started for me at cocktail hour. I provided music but not a photo booth. Guests munched on snacks and sipped custom cocktails right outside the barn. The couple had sent me a Spotify playlist with a mix of indie rock and I played it softly. Guests tapped their feet and grooved to the music.

After guests were seated for dinner, I introduced the couple. They walked in to “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King. This really got a rise out of their guests. My DJ table was set up right under the mezzanine level. When the Lion King theme started playing and Nicole and Vince walked in, I heard a boom of applause above my head. I looked up and guests were hanging over the edge going crazy. Let me tell you, it was a fun introduction.

After a long while, the cheering died down and Nicole and Vince began their first dance. They chose “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran. Afterward, we had a short dance set. I played a mix of oldies which immediately packed the dance floor. Guests danced for a while then sat for dinner and speeches. I set up a mic stand and mic across from where the couple was seated. Everyone sounded great.
