Married in Denmark, so have your reception in Boston! Alisha & Bucky threw an incredible party at the Exchange Conference Center (Hello, Michele Stump!) ( see FB: Boston Exchange Conference Center) . Wow! The great weather made for an moonlit harborside -outside- cocktail hour. The couple, who currently live in Kenya, brought a world-wide music sample for my second sound system. Then, the 150 guests entered the atrium for dinner, toasts and fine dining, courtesy of the ECC. Great moments were captured by photographer, Theresa Johnson (Hi Theresa) (see FB : johnsonphotographyinc). Including the “all guests” group picture from the balcony. Then, the dancing began and did not stop til’ the midnight hour. My meetings with Bucky & Alisha generated a hit song list that included current hits ( Pitbull, Guetta, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, Gaga, Katy, Rihanna, “Call Me Maybe”…) and classic party songs from Abba, “Good Times” by Chic, Donna Summer, “In The Mood” and “Let’s Twist Again”.
Congratulations to Alisha & Bucky!… 10-20-12 (See more fun & pix at DJ Mr Ed HQ)

Susan & John’s Cape Cod Engagement Party. 9-8-12. New England – Style Clam Bake, warm late summer breezes, friends and family at Sesuit Cafe (Dennis MA) under the tent. Cool jazz then, father of the bride’s emotional toast. The lobsters, chowder and all the fixin’s. Cutting the cake with the school logos on top. Then, non-stop dancing and partying by the guests. Old Cape Cod to Party Rock Is In The House Tonight….
Jo & Jen’s Wedding at The Red Inn, Provincetown MA, June 23,2012. (16 pix here, Facebook album) One of the most unforgettable weddings ever. The beautiful sun-drenched, beachfront deck was the Cape Cod venue for the ceremony that included a family friend as officiant flanked by bridesmaids and ushers. One of the readings was : the entire lyrics to “You Make Me Feel Like A natural Woman” (Aretha Franklin). So perfect. One guest broadcast the ceremony to her sister in the military overseas by smartphone. The Red Inn hospitality was everything you want in a beachfront destination wedding. Then, during the group picture…the blue sky to the east was threatened by black clouds from the west, a storm-chaser’s, “wizard of oz” type of sky. Then it poured – sideways. All gathered inside with high spirits as the storm quickly disappeared, then an incredible double rainbow appeared over the bay. Full color from pot o’ gold to pot o’ gold. The families embraced Jo & Jen on the beach and partied all night in P-Town.
