Kudos to Ruth and Gregory! Being in my 7th year as a wedding DJ, it’s not too often I see “firsts” anymore, but they managed to score themselves a few of them! Find out how their wedding was different — and check out song picks and photos — in this blog post.
Malika and Sergio live in New York City, but wanted to return to Cornell University in Ithaca to celebrate their wedding. Due to the distance, we never had a chance to meet in-person prior to the big day… but that wasn’t a problem, as we were able to handle all of the planning through a couple of phone calls and a series of emails.
