I soon met a happy couple at a bridal show. I was playing the music for the fashion show portion and was a featured vendor. I was approached directly after the fashion show ended and proceeded to do an impromptu consultation. This is very typical at a bridal show, by the way, and I encourage you to take advantage of these kinds of events when looking for a DJ. An impromptu interview can really help you get a feel for how the DJ will respond under different circumstances. A social environment is a DJ's natural habitat: plenty of people, movement, music, and opportunity. Getting a feel for how your DJ works a crowd will generally give you an idea of how they will present themselves at your event. Seeing them at a fashion show will also give you a sense of how they mix music, conduct themselves on a microphone, and how they interact with the crowd. This is similar to getting a free audition.

So this happy couple books me on the spot. Wouldn't you know it, I happened to have contracts ready to be signed and they happened to have a chequebook at the ready. We discussed a few details and built a foundation playlist for the event. The wedding was still six months away and I knew that we would have at least two more consultations between now and then.

At the first in house consultation, we hammered out most of the details. There was still three months until the wedding but most of the planning was already done. We agreed to meet again three weeks before the wedding and finalize everything.

The following week, I get a phone call from the bride to be, Shannon. Her fiance, Matt, fell off a thirty-foot roof and broke his back, his elbow, and some of his ribs. This changed everything. The wedding might have to be rescheduled or called off for the year. It became a waiting game. Both of us put the wedding on the back burner, more concerned with the groom and his health.

Three weeks later and I get another call. Matt has decided that he wants to proceed with the wedding as planned. He was now in a wheelchair and some changes would need to be made. Although he knew that he would able to walk and stand for short periods of time by his wedding day, he didn't know if he would be able to dance the entire three minutes, thirty-six seconds of their chosen wedding song. We developed a signal. He would wave his right hand up if his legs were weak and the best man would move in with a wheelchair. I assured him that I would keep an eye on him at all times and make sure to fade into the next song if he waved as if to signal that the song had finished and he made it until the end. Come the magic moment, Matt managed to stand the entire dance. He even had enough strength to take a bow and walk off the dance floor unassisted. It was amazing to watch him persevere through the pain.
