After a long hiatus it felt incredibly good to DJ for a wedding celebration at the beautiful Beltane Ranch in Sonoma County. Eating, dancing, laughing and reconnecting until those mighty oak trees was just what everyone needed after living in lockdown for over 12 months.
I was so happy to be able to play some familiar songs that helped create some memories that will last until we meet again.
Try this one out at your next semi-fancy dinner party. Adding some good wine and candles are optional but highly recommended!
The pictures cannot do justice in capturing the incredible day we had yesterday at the Gatekeeper’s Museum on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Sarah and Luke thank you for making me a part of the celebration, I felt honored to be among your friends and family enjoying the love and happiness. Pure vibes all around.
I’ll be thinking about this one for a long long time. ❤
Tonight brought my DJ business right into the heart of San Francisco to the Delancey Street Foundation. With an incredible view looking right at the Bay Bridge and treasure island the crowd came ready for an evening of food, drinks and music celebrating the happy couple.
Joey and Lorrie best wishes and thank you for hiring me for your special day!
And yes, that is a purple brain wedding cake. Never a dull moment as a #WeddingDJ here in the #SFBayArea
The nice people at Bloomingdale’s had us play some tunes for their registry brunch kickoff thing. A dance party ensued.
Kicked off my 2018 season last night with a post-holiday holiday party at the beautiful City Club of San Francisco. Here’s me feeling festive at the start of the great evening:
After dinner and a raffle we kicked off my favorite part of the evening: the dance party. Things started pretty tame but escalated quickly:
Lots of Hennessy shots will do that, I guess.
Great night and a great start to 2018.
Jon and Virginia dated for 12 years before getting married in February at the historic Sainte Claire Club. They are two old souls that love each other very very much. The celebration with their friends and family was classic to say the least.

I LOVE when prospective clients ask me this question. I honestly wish it was asked more often. Let’s consider the situation: you’ve asked a stranger (that you met on the internet!) to get up in front of your guests and somehow express the energy of the moment without being cheesy or over the top. It’s a risk that many bride and grooms try to avoid by having a untrained friend or family give announcements
The BIGGEST compliment I get is when guests ask if I’m friends with the bride and groom. That means they can FEEL the connection I have and how much the celebration means to me.
I have professional training as a Master of Ceremonies and have experience speaking in front of VERY large crowds. Plus as a MC I want to know about the little details so I can help them all flow smoothly throughout the evening.
When I meet with clients here are some questions that I ask to help us plan the finer details of reception:
Many times when I bring these questions up during a meeting I get a look of “we hadn’t thought of this” and that’s 100% OK. That’s why you start planning six to nine months in advance and hire great wedding professionals who have experience and can make sure things run smoothly.
In closing I’ll suggest that while you’re meeting potential Wedding MC try close your eyes and picture what they’ll sound like in front of your wedding. Will this person get mistaken for a family friend? Will they smoothly and confidently keep the vibe and energy of the event? If you can picture it in your mind then chances are you’ve found the right MC.
And if you haven’t, no worries, I’m here and ready to talk.
