Cancun Corporate Event DJ for Advisors Excel
Favorite Events for 2015: #3 – This is the 2nd year in a row I’ve been selected as the Cancun corporate event DJ for Advisors Excel in conjunction with Genesco Sports Enterprises. They fly in all of their employees plus 1 to Cancun, Mexico for a weekend of celebrating the past year. This particular year I not only played the main event party but also the pool day. I’m humbled to be a part of this event year after year and can’t wait to do it even bigger next year.
South Walton Fashion Week 2015 Official Spotify Playlist
It’s been a whirlwind of a month but finally got a chance to slow down and publish my South Walton Fashion Week 2015 Official Spotify Playlist which includes about 90% of the material I used (the other 10% isn’t on Spotify or are my own custom remixes). If you’ve never DJ’d a fashion show, let me give you some insight. Generally, you work with 1 designer for months and collaborate on a single show. SWFW is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. We had 31 runway shows over a 3 day period. I didn’t get the luxury of having months to work with them – I literally had 3 hours the day before the show to see all 31 designer’s pieces and then spent the remaining 21 hours coming up with the soundtrack for each designer’s show (with some help from the designers of course). What was really interesting is how organic it became. A designer would hear something I’d play one night and want me to incorporate a certain sound or feel into their upcoming show so I’d go back and re-work their sets. ODESZA was by far the most popular artist with the designers that I played. There’s something about that duo’s work that just seemed to really fit the feel of the show. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. I’d love to get your feedback.
NYC Holiday Party DJ
I know it’s only October but the holidays are seriously JUST around the corner. Are you in need of a NYC Holiday Party DJ? While I typically am jet-setting around the country for my events that time of year, I would love to stay a little more local this holiday season. With the amount of tourists in town, don’t risk bringing in somebody who doesn’t live in Manhattan. The amount of last minute calls I get to cover for those DJs stuck in traffic trying to get into the City are too many to count.
Good event DJs are hard to find, especially when looking for someone who isn’t going to come across as cheesy for your holiday party. While some will just play the standard and bland holiday tunes with a game or two thrown in and call it a day, I will work with you to make sure your event stands out and is talked about at the office water cooler the next week. No embarrassing cheesy line dances. If you’ve experienced a party with me already, you’ll get that same non-stop dancing energy from the time open dancing starts until they make us close the doors. No matter the make-up of your company or wide age range in attendance, we’ll make sure each guest has a great time. Having raffles or giveaway? Our custom “audio stingers” never disappoint. So whether you have 80 or 1000 people on your guest list, contact us and let’s get your event on the calendar. We rock them all the same. With only 3 weekends in December prior to Christmas, the dates are going to fill up fast. Don’t miss out!
SWFW ’15 | DJ Brian B Signs On For 3rd Year In A Row
I’m excited to announce my partnership with South Walton Fashion Week as the featured DJ/Entertainer for the 3rd straight year being held this year October 8th-10th. This is an incredible event and I feel honored to be a part of it once again. A lot of fashion industry players like Mychael Knight (pictured below) make this event one of the best in the South.
My Hampton’s House This Weekend
So this weekend, I was out in the Hampton’s (as one does in the Summer). The house I stayed at was a DJ’s dream for a weekend Pool Event. I love coming out here to DJ. Here’s a few pics I took of the place.
Engage15! Recap
I finally had a chance to go through my notes from Engage (I took a plethora of them) and all I can say is, “Wow.” I go to a few conferences every year but this one was mind-blowing. It shouldn’t surprise me with a tag-line of “luxury wedding summit” that this would be the case. I was considered a one-baller (aka a rookie) since it was my first time to Engage but I felt so included with these professionals. From Mindy Weiss to Marcy Blum to Colin Cowie to David Adler to Cindy Novotny to Ceci Johnson to Jeff Leatham to Karen Tran (and the list goes on), these folks are the real deal. Rebecca and Kathryn put on such an amazing time for us complete with daily gifts, fabulous accommodations and a little bit of down-time to connect with others colleagues. I came back with a ton of ideas and even more so, a resurgence of energy to do all I can to provide world-class services for my clients. Here’s a few shots I took this past week.
Destin Summer Storm?
This cloud showed up twenty minutes before our wedding out on the Captain’s Deck at The Emerald Grande. The thing is, in Florida, you never know if it’s going to rain for 60 seconds or 60 minutes. The crew at this venue is world class. They had a back-up ready so they made the call to move indoors and the event went off without a hitch!
Shoreline Church 10th Anniversary Party
Earlier tonight I had a chance to work with Shoreline Church in Destin, FL for their 10th Anniversary party. This is definitely not your grandmother’s church. My team did it big. We put together the theme of the event (a Rock Show Theme), created all the branding for the event utilizing their church logo in the guitar, came up with some cool games like Russian Roulette Karaoke, enshrined some folks into the Shoreline Hall of Fame (and created graphics for that), had video DJ’ing, Bouncy house, etc. and then I produced this karaoke dedication video which their staff dedicate to some of their congregation who are leaving to plant another church called Ridgeline. See my video edit below.
Mark and Lindsay’s Wedding | Denton, Texas
Cross off another city from my “never been there” list. I flew from Cancun to Dallas and drove to Denton, Texas for Mark and Lindsay’s wedding. This particular wedding holds special meaning because the groom is one of my younger brothers. So glad I got to be there for their intimate ceremony and reception. Love you both!
Engage15! | Cancun, Mexico
This is my first time attending Engage. This is for luxury wedding professionals only and they have the creme de la creme of folks from the wedding industry here. Here’s a quick shot from the lobby of where I’m staying, Nizuc Resort, when I arrived earlier today. This place is amazing! I will be posting a ton of images to Instagram throughout the week (so I don’t bombard you here) and then will do a short recap here on the site once I catch my breathe. I’m so excited!
