Mick & Allison

July 3rd, 2015 was an absolute beautiful evening for Mick & Allison at Sodo Park in the Sodo district of Seattle! Referred to me by their Nordstrom co-worker, Rosanna (of Nathan & Rosanna fame!), Mick & Allison were an absolute delight to work for: they envisioned an intimate, classy reception, that was light-hearted and fun – and they absolutely nailed it. The flow of events was perfect, and despite the rather warm conditions on this Friday evening in July, the guests BROUGHT IT on the dance floor.

It’s so much fun to play for a group of people who just want to have fun and trust the DJ on the musical journey they are about to embark on.

As for the all-star vendor team: Herban Feast prepared yet another delicious meal to Allison & Mick’s guests, Erik & Ali from Vail Studio were on-hand to capture each moment in their typical brilliant fashion, The Puget Sound Photo Booth Co. entertained the guests who took a break from the dance floor action with their Traditional Photo Booth offering, and the whole evening was planned and organized to perfection by Nina from RockerBaby Productions.

Mick & Allison, congratulations! It was an honor to serve you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding reception.
