I was so honored to be asked to DJ Katy and Jordan’s wedding
ceremony and reception at the historic
City Tavern Club in DC on October 14th. Their wedding planner, the amazing Cara from Belle Fete Events, referred them to me
and I’m thrilled she did!
The ceremony was held on the first floor in the Great
Hall. The 100 guests arrived and I had a
mix of classical music playing. They
soon took their seats and it was time for the ceremony to begin. The wedding party entered to “Jesu, Joy Of
man’s Desiring” and Katy & her Father to “Canon In D”. After a short service they recessed to
“Better Together” by Jack Johnson. Their
officiant invited guests to the 3th floor Bliss Room for cocktails and passed
hors d’oeuvres and I ran up to start the music.
During the cocktail hour I had a mix of rock and classic
soul playing. The room is beautiful with
hardwood floors and an outdoor patio that guests enjoyed due to the perfect
weather. After pics were taken by
photographer Corrine from Finn
Lively Photography, the wedding party came up to join the cocktail
hour. After the cocktail hour I invited
guests back down to the Great Room for dinner that had been flipped by the
staff and Cara.
I introduced just Katy & Jordan to “Crazy In Love” and
their Fathers welcomed everyone. The
buffet opened and I played more rock and classic soul during dinner. After dinner we had a couple toasts and the
cake cutting to “How Sweet It Is”. After
the cake was served the dessert bar opened, the guests finished their meal and
I invited them back up to the 3rd floor for dancing.
When everyone was in the Bliss Room Katy & Jordan had
their first dance to “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5. They had a combined parents dance to
“Constellations” by Jack Johnson and I opened the floor to everyone with some Motown
and oldies. The floor packed during the
first dance and stayed that way for the next 2 ½ hours. It was an awesome playlist filled with lots
of early 2000’s dance and rock, some current top 40 with a few oldies. It was great to see everyone singing along
with every song all night!! I ended the
night with “Don’t Stop Believin’” before they went on to the after party at
Martin’s.
I had the best time at this wedding and was so glad I was
able to do it! Thank you Cara, Katy
& Jordan!
