Award-winning Vancouver Wedding DJ, DJ BFAD
I started DJing weddings in 2007. My agenda was simple. Deliver an epic party, serving up that perfect blend of music that gets all generations grooving. Hip hop, funk, pop, rock. If it gets your sister, uncle or co-worker on the dance floor I'll play it. That’s when the magic happens and memories are made. I make sure I give my all for every couple, whether it's 100 people at a community hall or 400 people in Vancouver's most prestigious hotel. Every wedding must be a night to remember. Couples have trusted me with the soundtrack to the most important day of their life. And I do my best to make sure it’s everything they have dreamed of. (LGBTQ-friendly).
Making Your Wedding Unforgettable
Personally speaking, the DJ I hired for my own wedding was not great but this actually taught me some valuable lessons about what NOT to do when DJing. The venue where we had our reception had recommended him and I'm sure he was an amazing "house DJ" but my mother-in-law doesn't like house music, my father-in-law doesn't like house music and neither does my aunt, uncle or grandparents for that matter. Basically he didn't read the crowd and nobody danced. He didn't even have our special song ready (Van Morrison "Moondance") or any of the Cuban music I wanted to hear. The last thing I wanted to do was tell the DJ what to play at my own reception instead of enjoying myself. Regardless, nobody should have this experience on their special day and I sincerely want people to have a good time, whether your grandparents are sitting down tapping their feet or your cousins & bridesmaids are up on the dance floor rocking the whole night away! I enjoy mixing it up and including everyone in the fun - from young to old, nobody is excluded.
My formula is simple: Experienced wedding DJ + reading crowd + playing requests = everyone dances.
Before your wedding I will find out your personal style, what's playing on your Spotify Playlist + guest demographics to give me a sense of the night you are looking for. Pass me on a list of your favourite songs, what you listened to in college, what was playing on the radio when you first met. I always do a venue check & will touch base with the wedding planner or venue co-ordinator, find out the best place to set up, where the power outlets are and even the best place to park to make sure everything goes like clockwork on the day, I got you.
