You really never know when your next business opportunity is. A few months before this wedding, I was DJing at Megan’s work, the Lululemon store in La Jolla, CA. When I was done with my set, she came up to me and mentioned an engagement party she and her fiance, Trevor, were throwing. The kicker … this little engagement party would be turning into a full on wedding before the night was over.
The timing could not have been more perfect as I just attended a party-turned-wedding the week before.
So it was settled, Megan booked me and I had a great time helping plan the surprise, at least from the DJ’s perspective.
The party, which took place at Paradise Point & Spa seemed pretty normal, with drinks, sushi and other food. Then a friend gathered everyone up and said a toast was about to occur, when in actuality it was their ceremony.
The evening progressed from there and it was time for a wedding dance party. Megan and Trevor started their lives together by creating a great surprise memory for their family and friends. She is a big fan of 80s, especially rock, so you’ll see that prevalent throughout the night.
