I was thrilled to be DJing Katie & Tim’s wedding
reception at The Angus Barn
Pavilion with some of my favorite vendors!
I got to work with Jamie & Richie from Jagg Photography, Phil and Jess from Twenty-One Films and wedding planner Kailey
from A Southern Soiree working her
last wedding. It was a perfect day with
not a cloud in the sky! As guests
arrived to the pavilion, they wrote well wishes on custom pharmacist notepaper
to Katie and Tim (who are pharmacists) and took M&M’s contained in
prescription bottles as favors. LOVE
that idea! The guests enjoyed hors
d’oeuvres on the patio and inside the pavilion as I had a mix of soft rock and
beach music playing. 
The wedding party showed up and it was time to get the party
started. Guests found their tables that
were decorated with floral arrangements by The English Garden. I introduced the wedding party and Katie
& Tim to Coldplay’s “A Sky Full Of Stars” (love that song!) and Katie and
Tim went right to the dance floor for their first dance to Ingrid Michaelson’s
“Can’t Help Falling In Love”. It’s such
a beautiful version! Katie’s parents
welcomed everyone for coming and blessed the meal. The food stations opened and I continued soft
rock and beach music through dinner.
After dinner and a few toasts, we had the Ashley’s Cake cutting to Jason Mraz’s
“Lucky”. Katie joined her father on the
floor to dance to Steve Tyrell’s “The Way You Look Tonight” that her father
dedicated to her and Tim escorted his mother to the floor to dance to “My
Wish”. I opened the floor with “Carolina
Girls” and some other beach music that filled it with young and old dancing and
singing along.
After about 30 minutes of dancing, the surprise of the night
came. I played the “2001: A Space
Odyssey” theme and Katie and Tim had no idea what was coming… Cocky!! The USC mascot came running out and I played
the USC fight song! They were
shocked!! The expression on their faces
was priceless! Everyone started dancing with Cocky and I then played “Shout”
that had everyone surrounding them and dancing.
Cocky stayed for an hour getting pics taken and dancing with
everyone. He even helped with the
bouquet toss to “Where Dem Girls At” and had everyone out there to do the
“Chicken Dance” with him. I have never
had that many people doing that dance at a wedding before!
After another hour of dancing to top 40, 80’s and a few
oldies mixed in, it was time for their last dance to “Dream A Little Dream Of
Me” by Michael Buble and a sparkler exit.
What a fun night hanging with some of my fav vendors and playing for
Katie & Tim and their families and friends!
