Behind the booth at Claire and Eric's Celebration!
I cared very much for this couple, as I was not only there Deejay but Producer as well. As a producer I met with the couple in the initial client meeting to discuss Fig services and i immidiately fell in love with their vision of the night. They wanted to really celebrate their couple with their friends and family who flew in from both coasts, London, and other parts of the world. They wanted and expected a lot from their event and DJ and I was honored to be a part of the event. The event was held at A New Leaf (Fig was working there the night before as well.) Their ceremony was held in the apartment on the third floor, as the officiant announced them bride and groom my assistant Jon played "Uptight Everything is Alright" into the room, and the party moved downstairs for a cocktail hour listening to non-stop motown. My motown collection was stretched as I played one 2 min song after another. Beautiful. I then played a very eclectic world music set for dinner as Blue Plate catered to the guests, including: Buena Vista Social Club, Gabin, Pink Martini, a collection of Bangra music... it was a delight to play to worldly guests. As a DJ I not only play music, but facilitate the evening, so I was on the microphone directing the flow, inviting, and announcing in speeches. At a New Leaf I stood high on the 2nd floor announcing to the guests below me, meaning it takes guts to be charming and cute and myself on the microphone. The speeches from the best man and maid of honor were a true positive reflection of Claire and Eric, as the party was to. The minute that I saw the crowd I got a great feeling inside of me and wanted to hug my assistant Jon upstairs because I knew the event was going to be a great party.
The dancing was awesome, the floor was packed the whole night, and I really pushed my limits of 80's favortie "Men down Under" and some cool hip hop "Ms. Jackson." We ended the party in a Disco set with all of the guests on the dancefloor. I mean all of them, a packed tight event, woo hoo. Jon my assistant is a great Deejay to bounce off of, I learn from hip everytime.
This party gave me confidence as a DJ, not only did I play my great music and facilitate a wedding event, but I was part of it as well. And please read the reflection from the bride and groom Claire and Eric:
