Marine DJ with Pearson/Pence

Tobey booked a wedding gig 48 hours before the event. The kind of event I dream of, "Client books with another company and days before the event they feel they are working with an inadequate DJ, then they call fig and ask for our help." Then I come in, create a great event and the client remembers fig forever and always recommends me. Well, here I am, after creating a successful event with only 48 hours to perpare. I came back to fig on Thursday after a gig with the managers at the Park Hyatt and Tobey had set up a meeting for me with Keri and Brad. I got the majority of the music from them in that meeting and drove out to the Harrison Manor House on Friday for the rehearsal. Got everything down flat and got the list of songs they wanted to dance to. As the gods would have it, the songs were stuff I like. Chris, my assistant was great at helping me with the ceremony and then moving things to the dancing area as I worked the dining area. There were awesome speeches and a tight family atmosphere and steak that you could cut with a butter knife. Dancing had some changes as one of Brad's friends played some guitar to start and the songs ended up being the 1st dance song, we then jumped to father/daughter and right into opening the dance floor. Chris and i had some great dance sets and Chris, hungry to learn DJ, jumped into mix many of the songs. The bride told me that night,"Now that's Marine DJ's". I Love It!
