Big love to Megan & Austin. I brought live acoustic vibes for cocktail hour, then jumped behind the decks for a reception built on one simple brief: party tunes and Pitbull. Mr. 305 delivered (dale!) and the dance floor went absolutely off from start to finish.
Music & Atmosphere
We eased guests into the afternoon with stripped-back acoustic sets across the gardens, then shifted gears into a full-tilt reception set after formalities. Requests flowed, the energy never dipped, and we even had a very memorable Eagle Rock moment that turned into a conga line and a room-wide singalong. The brief was fun-first, zero lull—and that’s exactly how it played out.
- Live acoustic for cocktail hour, then DJ takeover for reception
- High-energy dance floor from first track to last
- Guest requests + 2000s party edits, keeping momentum up
- Signature moment: conga line to Eagle Rock
