Saturday Wedding at the Commander's Mansion

This Saturday April 30th, 2011 Move It Music DJ and Lighting will be the DJ for Brian and Katherine's wedding ceremony and reception at the beautiful Commander's Mansion in Watertown. 

I met with the couple just last week and I must say, I am very excited for this event!  Both the bride and groom seem very fun and are looking forward to a great time.  We are taking care of the music for the ceremony first.  We have an excellent compact ceremony setup that will be perfect for this occasion.  The entire bridal party will be walking into "Mothersbaugh Canon" by Mark Mothersbaugh, from the Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack. Its a very nice track but a little short - I may have to loop a section of it and then just fade out the ending.  Katherine will be walking down the aisle to the "Humming Chorus" from Giacomo Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly" very unique!  After the ceremony is over we really get to see this couple "fun" side as then walk back down the aisle as husband and wife to "ABC" by the Jackson Five - so fun!

With the reception ready to begin - bridal party intros are in order!  The newlyweds have chosen some great movie themed tracks to introduce their friends and family such as "Star Wars Theme," "Rocky Theme," "Oingo Boingo" from Weird Science, and "You're The Best Around" from the Karate Kid. I am really looking forward to these - the crowd will be going crazy!  Once into the ballroom, the Bride and Groom will have their first dance to Queen's "My Best Friend," which they have a surprise choreographed number that they will perform! AWESOME

Overall they have left the dancing music up to me. I am excited to see what the crowd will look like and I plan on using dinner to feel out what the guests will ultimately vibe to.

I am really looking forward to working at The Commander's Mansion in Watertown this Saturday and I will update this blog with some fun and interesting moments from the wedding. - DJ Jimmie Espo - Move It Music DJ and Lighting

April 23rd 2011 - Wedding at The Hampshire House Boston

  Just getting ready to head out to DJ tonight's Wedding.  It's dreary outside - but I will be sure to keep all of tonight's guests happy with awesome music.  Should be an interesting group; with an American/Colombian request list, the night is sure to be a blast.  They have requested artists such as Luis Miguel, Juanes, Fonseca and Bacilos; as well as all of the American classics like Madonna, Neil Diamond and U2. 
  The Hampshire House is a beautiful mansion style Venue, in the heart of Boston Commons.  It will be an intimate wedding of only 50 guests, just the right size for this coupe's perfect Wedding!  I plan to keep the night flowing with a good mix of Latin and American music.  The Bride and Groom would like a simple introduction, then right into their first dance (very nice).  I will do some fun interaction after dinner just to open the dance floor and then let the records spin! 
  I hope to update more as I am very excited for this event.  Hopefully I will be able to get a good pic or 2 to add to this posting.
  So the event was awesome! All 50 guests were rocking The Hampshire House till midnight! One of the best events of 2011 already.  I have to say, this family really knows how to celebrate.  The biggest artists of the night were Juanes and Shakira - big surprise! That's all for now - Happy Easter everyone from Move It Music DJ and Lighting. - DJ Jimmie Espo

Wireless LED Uplighting at The Commons 1854

April 16, 2011 - Move It Music DJ and Lighting - The Commons 1854 in Topsfield, MA - 12 Wireless LED Uplighting with a Pink Theme.

The decor here at The Commons 1854 is simple and traditional; sort-of a blank canvas for us to work with.  It's kind of weird being at a Wedding and not providing the entertainment, I will have to restrain myself from critiquing this DJ.  He looks like he has his game face on and is ready for a good time! (we will see) 

The bride's vision for tonight is "Cotton Candy Pink."  This should be as easy one as our Uplighting performs beautifully in Pink!  We are keeping the room blank until the bride and groom's introductions then we will "Light it Up Cotton Candy style!" I'll update this post later tonight with some pictures and more details!
