For some years now, I have always encouraged my clients to provide me with a playlist of songs they like and love. I ask them to point out what songs they absolutely want to hear while they are dancing as well as during dinner. I believe this allows the clients to create a more personal event. Just like I do not like playing the same music every weekend, I am sure the guests at these events do not want to hear what they hear at every Wedding. One of my motivations as a DJ, is hearing from the banquet staff or some guests or the vendors at the Wedding commenting on the choice of music I am playing. I like being different. I like a challenge. And most importantly, I want each Wedding to be different from the last. Of course, there are the popular songs I play at most events, but I allow the clients to help me create a musical journey. A journey that sets apart the Wedding where I am the DJ versus those where I am not.

Zeshan & Ellen (formal post to follow in the future), were a fantastic couple and it was truly an honor to be their Wedding DJ. The playlist I was provided was as fun and awesome as the great couple themselves.

I prepared the following mix because of how much fun I had being the DJ at Z & Ellen's Wedding. I had the idea to create a mix of songs I played at a Wedding for several other clients, but Z & Ellen really inspired me to take time and create one. The mix very well reflects the songs I played at their Wedding. The sequence of the mix is about 85% similar to what the sequence at the Wedding was. There are a few songs I didn't actually play but fit the parameters set by the couple. :) The mix is about 1 hour and 43 minutes long. Most of the songs have been shortened from actual playtime.

Z & Ellen, if you are reading this, I hope this mix brings the party back to the moment. :)
