Brandon and Kim are part of a group of friends that I have known since I moved out to San Diego in 1999. In fact, they were the first group of people I hung out with back in those days when I didn't know anyone out here.
Over the years, many from "the group" have married and I have been privileged to spin the tunes at several of those weddings. There wedding party was at Levyland, in Carlsbad Calif. A cool rental house, right on the beach.
I hope you enjoy a few of these dance floor highlights and the setlist.
The thoughts, sights and a few sounds from a San Diego wedding DJ.

Monica and Pete's Hacienda Hotel Setlist
One of the best things about being in the wedding industry is when past clients refer me to their friends. In fact, most of my October gigs have been a direct result of a referral from a wedding I have done in the past.
Monica and Pete's wedding was one such event. Nearly eight years ago, I DJ'd Amy's wedding, a friend of Monica's. Both of them work at The Container Store and thus there were many of their colleagues at Amy's wedding. Since then, I have worked another "TCS" wedding, as well as a few local San Diego TCS parties.
Well, fast forward to 10.10.10 and I had the privilege to DJ for Monica and Pete.
Here is a look at their tunes for the night.

Natasha and Erik's Setlist at the Abbey
Here is a wedding that I have looked forward to for many months. Natasha is a close friend of mine, someone I met when she began working with me a few years ago. It's always a huge plus to perform and give it your all for someone that you know personally.
We worked in a lot of old school jams and I mixed in a little G6 remix for the first time this year, a special request for Natasha.
Here are the tunes!

Kim and Brandon's Setlist
Kim is a longtime acquaintance and Brandon is a guy who I routinely outscore in our Fantasy Football league. I have DJ'd several weddings in their circle of friends and they are always such great parties.
This was no exception, as we partied at Levyland in Carlsbad, CA. A highlight of the night was the girlie pop mix I put together, when someone requested Miley Cyrus' Party in the U.S.A. while I was playing Kesha. So I mixed it in with Kesha and continued on with some Britney.
I think I played over 60 songs that night. What a fun party!
