Good Day bloggers!!!

DJ Gregg here with this weeks installment of the WEDDING BLOG....

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of being the DJ for Michael and Marissa on their wedding day! The reception was held at the Riverside Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. This is a great venue, with panoramic views of downtown Ft. Lauderdale and situated on the New River.

As the guests arrived I played some funky tunes to set a cool mood for a great party. The room looked wonderful as it was highlighted in AMBER LED UP LIGHTING provided by Eddie B & Company.

To introduce the bridal party, I was asked to play" 24K" by Bruno Mars. Then Mike and Marissa entered with "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce'.

The room ignited with applause and everyone rose to their feet! I then asked Mike to take Marissa's hand and escort her to the center of the dance floor.

Their first dance was " Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. It went over "Perfectly"! After a thunderous applause, I invited Marissa to dance with her dad. They chose "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw.

After that, it was Mike's turn to dance with his mom. "My Wish" by Rascall Flatts made a great request for them. During this song, I invited ALL of the guests to dance along with Mike and his mom.

The dance floor was soon packed!

Afterwards, I invited the guests to take a quick break while Shelby, John, and Lauren gave speeches and toasted the new couple.

Shortly after that, Marissa invited everyone to bow their heads in prayer and to bless the meal that was about to be served.

Dinner went well, I played some special requests for Mike and Marissa.

As soon as dinner was over, I got the party started..

Everyone was ready to go! It was a really fun crowd and the dance floor was packed the entire evening.

I was able to play music from all genres and eras. The crowd especially liked top 40, classic rock, and Latin Music.

But what really hit the sweet spot was HIP HOP!

It was a pretty young crowd and everyone was having a great time.

I then invited our newlyweds to cut the cake... I played "Sugar" by Maroon 5. Shortly after that I did the Garter and Bouquet toss. I played "Single Ladies" and "Hot In Here".

It went over great and it was a lot of fun.

Now, I got back into the party and we danced the rest of the evening!

It was a really great party and I with Mike and Marissa a wonderful life together!
