Wedding of Christine & Nathan

On March 26, 2017, I DJed and hosted at one of my favorite venues, Calamigos Ranch at the Oaks Room in Malibu, CA. This time it was for the wedding of Christine & Nathan. I was in charge of their wedding ceremony, cocktail, and reception. If you've never been here, it's an amazing place tucked in this hills of Malibu. At this particular venue and room, the ceremony is placed right in front of a beautiful curved waterfall which creates a serene scene as the couple gets married. Shortly after the ceremony, guests enjoyed the cocktail hour outside on the patio. For the reception, I gathered everyone inside and asked to position themselves around the dance floor as we welcomed the wedding party and the newlyweds. It was a fun grand entrance and set the tone of the night. We continued with the first dance, blessing of the meal, dinner, speeches, a slideshow presentation, parents dances, dancing and cake cutting. One of the things I enjoyed that night was mixing in some K-Pop, Korean Pop, music for the bride and her family/friends. I also worked with a great team of vendors who all made the night smooth and fun. Overall, it was an amazingly fun night! Thank you Christine & Nathan for having me as your DJ!

Wedding of Joey & Maigan

On March 18, 2017, I DJed and hosted the wedding of Joey & Maigan at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Mandalay Beach Resort. The wedding ceremony was beautiful as it was placed right by the beach. The weather that day couldn't have been more perfect. Joey & Maigan didn't have a traditional wedding ceremony. They spiced things up with their music selection as they walk down the isle. The groomsmen came into "Bring Em Out" by T.I., the parents, flower girls, and ring bearer came into "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas, and the bridesmaids came into "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. When it was Maigan's turn to walk down the isle, she walked down to "A Thousand Years" by The Piano Guys. Their ceremony was great because it set a fun vibe and tone that carried out to the rest of the night.

For the cocktail and reception, it took place inside the resort. The wedding was a multi-cultural wedding combining Latin, Persian, and American backgrounds, and the music I played reflected that. We had 3 dance sets that nights. The first dance set happened right after the first dance, the second after dinner, and the third after the cake cutting. It was a fun celebration and the wedding was a huge success. At the end of the night, I even received a positive testimonial from the bride and groom themselves! This was a fun wedding! Thank you, Joey & Maigan!

Wedding of Joey & Rachael

On January 29, 2017, I DJed at the Westin Bonaventure Brewery for the wedding of Joey & Rachael. Their wedding was beautifully located on a rooftop in the middle of Downtown Los Angeles. That night I was in charge of their ceremony and reception. The groom also had a fun idea to have the wedding rick-rolled! The groom, officiant, and I coordinated the act and it was a success! The reception was also a great time as I mixed a variety of fun music that people danced ranging from 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, Hip Hop, Latin, and EDM. It was a great, fun and intimate wedding. Congrats Joey & Rachael! And thank you for having me as your DJ!

Wedding of Madhvi & Daniel

On December 31, 2016, I had the double honor to DJ the wedding of Madhvi & Daniel and host the New Year's Eve celebration for 220 people! It was an amazing time at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City as we kicked off 2017 with bursts of fun! Also, after midnight, there was a surprise appearance of some Star Wars Stormtroopers who came in, performed a dance routine, and continued to party with all the guests. The whole evening was a huge success as I was able to mix music for the Persian, Indian, and American crowd and get them up dancing. Congrats Madhvi and Daniel and to everyone a Happy New Year!
