My my my, what can I say?! Hands down best Chairman of Party! I was a +1 for a friend at this wedding so I didn't have to deal with "so when are you getting married?" questions by 20 aunties. I lost a shoe at a wedding but didn't gain any drunken bruises...that's a darn good party! Yeah--I need more of these weddings =)
DJ LiVinh threw in a good mix of Bossa Nova covers during cocktail and dinner time which I loved! I did not know some contemporary songs can sound good as Bossa Nova. I definitely have a full list of Shazam searches from that party =) After cocktail hour came the main event: The Reception. I thought everything was very well-paced. We welcomed the Bridal Party. Each couple had their own entrance song. Both the Bride & Groom's parents were super cute with their slow (frankly, painful to watch) long walk to the dance floor, but luckily the DJ kept it light and things didn't get awkward.
The rest of the Bridal Party definitely had fun with their entrances. Next came the Mr. and Mrs. and their First Dance, sentimental dance with mom & dad..the usual fare. Some announcements were made and then dinner was served. I was getting antsy and hangry because food service didn't come out to all the tables at once but was kept entertained by a surprise choreographed dance from the BP for the Bride and Groom. The DJ kept his eyes on the dancers and there were a lot of sound effects so I think he actually had to run those cues live or at least pre-program them. He definitely wasn't purely playing a track. I hate it when DJs are "press-Play" guys.
Everything else was kind of a blur. I just remember having a really good time and dancing a lot! I don't remember what time the dance floor was open for guests but I remember power ballads, 80s, 90s, YouTube Covers, Bachata. Naturally, it was a dance floor / group karaoke scene. That's pretty sweet! Cheers to the Bride & Groom I may or may not ever see again. Good job on hiring this awesome DJ though because that was one hella lit start to your life together!
