Megan and T.J.’s Desmond Hotel Wedding

Megan and T.J.’s wedding reception was held on Saturday, August 10th at The Desmond Hotel, and they chose Cutting Edge Entertainment to provide the DJ and music. As a Wedding DJ it’s important to play all sorts of music from all different genres and eras including many diverse artists. Many brides and grooms are concerned with making sure we play a little bit of something for everyone. In my opinion four to five hours is more than enough time to keep everyone happy, whether it be with Big Band, Jazz, Motown, Rock and Roll, or Top 40, I have no problem fitting it all in. This was very important to Megan and T.J., simply because as in most wedding receptions, their guests varied in both age and musical taste.

This wedding reception was a blast to be a part of as the Wedding DJ, and the energy of the bride, groom and all their guests was contagious. I have worked with some brides and grooms in the past that sometime worry that not many guests will dance, because they are shy or just not big dancers. When I hear that I always smile, because most times these couples underestimate their guests. People do not get all dressed up in their fancy suits or dresses to just sit at their table and listen to music; they came to have a great time and because they love you and want to celebrate your special day! I feel it is up to me to make sure I create that fun, relaxed environment to allow people to let loose and party hard. Now of course the bartender always helps out, we cannot deny that, and once the party begins it’s the DJ that makes sure all of the guests are out there. Whether they are dancing, singing along, or just clapping their hands off to the side, I know they’re having a good time. In my opinion, once the party is over – and days, weeks, months and even years go by, you may forget what you ate, you may forget what you wore, there is even a good chance you may forget what kind of music we played, but you should always be able to remember the great time you had.

A few weeks after the Wedding, the Mother of the Bride wrote the following testimonial on Wedding Wire:

Hands down hiring Cutting Edge and having, DJ Richie, was one of the best decisions for our daughter’s wedding. He clearly was the critical element to the success. You could tell by the crowd that dancing was quite important to us and boy did everyone dance. My husband and I have been to so many weddings but we have never seen basically everyone on the dance floor all night. Singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the end…..priceless. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, and we lost track of the number of people who raved about your skills as a DJ. We are forever grateful that you made our daughter and son in law’s wedding the best party of our lives!
