Aniko and David were married on 5/3/13 at the San Ysidro Ranch in beautiful Santa Barbara. We were very honored to be a part of their fabulous day, providing entertainment with our guitarist John at their ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ Gavin Roy for dinner and dancing at the Hydrangea Cottage. We also provided string lighting in a fan pattern which stretched across the Hydrangea patio. 
Here's a cool pic from David from his Facebook page after the wedding:

and a quote from one of their guests after the event:
"Derek and I (and all the other guests!) were incredibly impressed by your talents at Aniko and Dave's wedding a couple of weeks ago - your spinning was off the charts! I've never seen a DJ move so adeptly between genres, and literally keep a packed dance floor all night. We (and all the other guests!) had such a great time at their wedding, due in no small part to your music."

Aniko and David got hitched without a hitch :) thanks to uber-planner Kelly Leonard of Event of the Season, who made sure every detail was perfect! We'll now leave you with a quick video of the dance action:
