Wedding Reception Aboard the Sun Dream Yacht

Celebrating love aboard the Sun Dream yacht was truly unforgettable—there’s something about the ocean breeze, the glowing evening light, and the way the whole world feels just a little more romantic while you’re surrounded by family and friends. Before the ceremony, I set the mood as guests arrived with elegant background music featuring the Vitamin String Quartet, a Brooklyn duo, and Joseph William Morgan. When it was time to begin, the bridal party processional made its way into the ceremony space starting with Captain Pat, then the groom, followed by the rest of the bridal party, with everyone carrying that exciting energy into the moment. The couple entered and said their vows, shared a beautiful kiss, and for the recessional I played “Still Falling for You” by Ellie Goulding, starting right at the peak—so when it began, the cheers and smiles came instantly.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while the couple and bridal party took photos with a breathtaking view over the intercoastal. Once it was time for the main celebration, I introduced the bridal party and welcomed everyone as the new Mystery Mrs. Dietz, then the couple entered to “Forever” by Chris Brown and shared their first dance to “Always” by Armen, Malik, and Calum Scott. Special family tributes followed with dances honoring loved ones—“My Wish” by Rascal Flatts for her father and “Take It Easy” by the Eagles for their mother—before guests returned for dinner, more dancing, and cake cutting set to “I’m in Love with You” by The 1975. Instead of the bouquet toss, the couple shared a heartfelt speech, and as the night came to a close by the dock, I played their closing song “The Sound” by The 1975, ending with my final message: “Thanks for having me as your DJ. I wish you nothing but happiness and the rest of your life together.” — DJ Jerry O.
