The father of the groom called and booked me for a Las Vegas wedding reception. Most of the time, the bride calls to book the DJ and go over the details. So, it was a little unusual to have the father of the groom call to make the arrangments. I never talked to the bride or groom and really had no idea what type of music they want for their dances. Fortunately, I have done a lot of Las Vegas wedding receptions and have thousands of wedding appropriate songs.
Arriving at a huge, beautiful home on the west side of the Las Vegas valley, most of the guests had already arrived from the wedding ceremony (the wedding was at a local Las Vegas chapel). I unloaded my equipment, grabbed 2 young guys to help me haul my rig up the stairs leading up to the front of the house and setup my Las Vegas Wedding DJ gear.
The grand entrance was low key. The bride and groom only wanted themselves announced, not the rest of the bridal party. Dinner was catered and was wonderful. I mixed a nice blend of pop, new and old school lounge, along with some chillout for cocktails and dinner.
The rest of the evening went very well with the bridal party and the guests dancing until I shut things down at 12AM. I was scheduled to stop at 10pm, but was asked to stay another 2 hours.
It was nice to DJ for such a wonderful Las Vegas Wedding reception. Smoking wasn't allowed, so I didn't stink of stale cigs. I got a great tip, overtime pay, great food and drink. I love being a Las Vegas wedding DJ!
