‘Congratulations!’ to Geoff & Brie who were married this past Saturday. The venue was beautifully decorated by family and friends and the reception was MC’d by their friend Gordo; it was a real family affair. The very unique cocktail and dinner music was a potpourri of tunes by the B&G’s favourite artists such as: The Oh Hellos, Freelance Whales, Trampled by Turtles, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Coeur de pirate, to name a few. Even the first dance and first few slow dance songs were sung by their friend and Juno nominated artist Craig Cardiff; what a voice! Definitely check him out… Now on to the party… Since the slow songs were already taken care of, my job was to get the party started so that is exactly what I did! I am happy to report that the reception was a blast! Their guests had so much energy, a real DJ’s dream… They also had no problem making requests and there were a ton of them! Fortunately, I was able to work them all into the mix. The B&G ‘snuck out’ early to start their honeymoon while the rest of us stayed and kept the party going strong until… the venue informed us that is was time to ‘shut it down’! Thanks again to Geoff & Brie for putting their faith in me to rock their reception, it truly was an honour.
