The longer I DJ in Las Vegas, the more I enjoy weddings and receptions! It's usually a happy time for most of the guests and of course the bride and groom are celebrating one of the most important events in their life. A recent wedding ceremony and reception at Mt Charleston Lodge, about an hour drive from Las Vegas Nevada, was no exception.
The bride, April, contacted me via email. She needed songs and sound for the wedding ceremony. For the wedding reception, she wanted me to put together an agenda and they would provide the names of the songs for the special dances (first dance, etc). I don't think I ever talked with April on the phone. And of course, we never met in person. All booking and conversation was strictly via texting and email! If I called her phone, my call always went to voice mail. Some brides INSIST on meeting me in person.
Not a large wedding reception, but a very pleasant crowd. A big plus being a wedding DJ at Mt Charleston Lodge is the cooler weather and clean air. It's only about 80 degress versus the 100 plus temps of the Vegas Valley. The lodge hostess, Robin, was very kind to me. She made sure I had drinks and food. Throughout the evening she checked on me to make sure I had plenty to eat and drink. Thank you for looking out for the Las Vegas Wedding DJ!
The bride, groom and the guests loved to dance. I tried to keep a good mix of music flowing all evening. Usually, wedding receptions are hard to do a good mix. Right when you are feeling the music and blending it together, someone comes up and requests some music that doesn't go with the flow. But, being a good DJ and respectful the bride and groom, I will play whatever they want.
After the reception, I had a lot of compliments from the new husband and wife as well as the guests. I packed up my gear, took off my dress shirt and drove my Hummer a few hundred feet from the lodge and enjoyed the view of the valley below. It felt good to be done with another gig, to relax and enjoy the solitide for a few moments.
