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: |
