It was really splendid to see Tania and Greg get married at the wonderful Eltham Lodge, and for me to be their London Wedding DJ. You see it very nearly never happened at all. Earlier in the year, Greg received a diagnosis that meant urgent and serious surgery and this just prior to the original wedding date in July. If the problem had not been spotted he literally might not have been around to get married at all!! Thankfully the surgery went well and Greg made a very good and swift recovery.
For their special Wedding Reception celebration I supplied
black LED sparkling dance floor
mood lighting
DJ service
Tania and Greg took a keen interest in the music and involved their guests also in supplying their favourite tracks; giving me a comprehensive list of Must Plays and Play if Possible. The evening commenced in earnest with their First Dance, Lionel Richie's Truly
Thereafter we moved into their especially selected track to follow - Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, a favourite with many of their guests. A great dance evening followed. Please see the playlist below for full details.
