Wedding Reception Aboard the Catalina Yacht

I had the immense honor of being the DJ and MC for Aeisha and O'Neill’s stunning wedding ceremony and reception aboard the Catalina yacht, and what a beautiful day it was!

As guests gathered on the top deck, anticipation filled the air while waiting for O'Neill to make his way to the altar, greeted by his brother-in-law, who officiated the ceremony. I began the bridal party procession with the couple’s chosen song, "Find Someone Like You" by Snoh Aalegra, setting a romantic tone as the wedding party took their places.

Then, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived—the bridal processional! Aeisha glided down the aisle to the enchanting sounds of "Blessed" by Daniel Caesar. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments, culminating in the joyful declaration of “You may kiss the bride!” As they exited, I played "Best I Ever Had" by Drake, perfectly encapsulating the joyous atmosphere.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful cocktail hour before transitioning to the dining deck for the reception. I invited everyone to take their seats, and the energy shifted as we prepared for the grand entrance. First, the bride's parents made their way in, followed by the groom's parents, and finally, the bridal party—all to the upbeat "All of the Lights" by Rihanna and Kanye West.

Then came the moment everyone anticipated: Aeisha and O'Neill's grand entrance as the new Mr. and Mrs. Clarke! With great enthusiasm, I urged everyone to rise and applaud, as they entered to "Street Vibes" by Vybz Kartel.

Their first dance as husband and wife was next, with the soulful sounds of "1+1" by Beyoncé filling the air. Following that, Aeisha's father escorted her to the dance floor for their heartfelt father-daughter dance, to the lovely tune of "Queen and Lady" by Beres Hammond. O'Neill followed suit, dancing with his mother to "She's Royal" by Taurus Riley.

Once all dancing had commenced, guests were invited to enjoy their delicious meals. Heartfelt toasts were given by O'Neill's mother, Aeisha's mother, the maid of honor, and the best man, Asia and Anthony, adding an extra layer of warmth to the celebration.

After dinner, I escorted the newlyweds to their beautiful cake for the cake-cutting ceremony, with the playful "Cake" by Rihanna setting the scene. And just like that, the dance floor opened up! Aeisha’s cousin, who happened to be a DJ, took over with a fantastic set, further elevating the party atmosphere.

The celebration was nothing short of fabulous, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. A massive thank you to Aeisha and O'Neill for allowing me to be a part of their special day. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together!
