First party of the year will be a hard one to top!
It was a Sunday in October 2016 when I was meeting a client at 26 Bridge for a walk-through for their August 2017 wedding.
While there, I met Kathy and Jimmy, who were visiting the venue to consider for their own upcoming 2018 wedding.
They had yet to book a DJ, so we connected later on and they were thrilled to use my services for their wedding.
I was with them every step of the way and we had a great time.
On January 17th, 2018, Kathy and Jimmy were married.
The bridal party walked down the isle to: Prelude in C Major by J.S. Bach
The Bride walked down the isle to: The Luckiest (Benaud Trio version) by Ben Folds
They returned up the isle as a married couple to: Your Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oats
Catering was handled by Dominick Bruccoleri is the owner of Papazzio Restaurant and Caterers in Bayside, Queens.
