This wedding at Olympic View Golf Club had the best of both worlds: A packed dance floor AND guests who could actually hold a conversation without shouting across the room! 🙌🏻

The wedding started with the ceremony out on the VERY windy green, but check out that crispy clear audio I managed to get with a high quality lapel mic and optimal speaker placement. 😮‍💨

Cocktail hour and dinner were lovely, and then it was time to partaaay!

I started the night with the PA turned up for the formal dances and early party tracks. Then it was time for silent disco mode, in partnership with Silent DJ Victoria: Guests could choose between three channels, switch back and forth whenever they wanted, and somehow still sing every word at the top of their lungs. 🤣 I was mixing the bride and groom’s requests on one channel, and the silent disco host had two Spotify playlists running in the other two channels; one with oldies and wedding classics, the other with 90s to now hits.

Later in the night the venue lights went down and the PA went back up for full on party mode! 🚨 Hit up my YouTube channel to hear the full 3.5 hour live mix 🎥

Things have been a little quiet around my Instagram account lately because I’ve been enjoying some time off before the busy part of the year starts. 🗓️

Having said that, here are a few clips from last week’s party: The Sangster Elementary School ‘Family Dance,’ which I have been DJing since 2015. 🪩

I brought a pretty big light show for this one, and we had a mini rave at the end! 😁

My last event of 2025 was a mashup of my “day job” as an elementary school music teacher, and my “night job” as a DJ & AV production service:

Each year I take my Gr. K-5 choir to the City of Colwood Christmas Light-Up event, along with the other elementary school choirs from our municipality; however, this year the rain and wind were so intense on the day of the event, that it was cancelled. Needless to say, we had a LOT of disappointed children.

I decided that this annual event was important enough that I should try to throw something together myself, as the City of Colwood told me they would not be rescheduling their event. The Commons in @royalbaycolwood seemed like a suitable location, so I reached out to @jbstylze who put me in touch with Sara & Ashleigh at @pathdevelopments. With only a few days remaining until Christmas break, they wholeheartedly accepted my idea to host an event, and threw their support behind it by offering up the space, sponsoring two shelters from @titaniumtents, and hiring @thebubblebusco to supply enough hot chocolate for up to 300 choir students.

I’m not sure how I pulled it off on top of my teaching job and DJ gigs, but within 2 days I secured an event permit from the city, special event insurance, the commitment of four school choirs, a face-painter, and a plan based on hope.

On the day of the event, as soon as I finished teaching, I raced down to The Commons with my choir risers and sound & lighting equipment; and within 3 hours, everything was ready to go. It must have been a Christmas miracle because the skies cleared (aside from a few sprinkles), hundreds of people turned out, and the event went incredibly smoothly.

Along with the people I already mentioned, a special thanks also goes out to Derek D., Matt S., and Matt H. for helping me with setup, takedown, and equipment transportation; @lilas__events for volunteering her face-painting services; and everyone who showed their support by being there!

It was an insane amount of work to pull this thing together and to shoulder so much responsibility, but it was well worth it to see the excitement radiating from the kids who got the performance chance they deserved. 🎶

Here’s another corporate Christmas party I did this year; at @fireside_grill_victoria. 🔥

I played around with some Christmas uplighting colours before setting on a warm white that I colour-temperature-matched to the existing lighting in the room. 💡

I also found a new use for my tube lights: One side of the room had several dining booths attached to the wall, which meant I couldn’t fit my uplights; however, the gap between the back of the booth and the wall fit my tube lights perfectly! 👌🏻

Check out this high school grad class winter formal I did a few weeks ago: I brought out my full white DJ setup and uplighting for this one and it was a GREAT party. I’ve worked with this school for a few years now and I think this grad class wins for being the most energetic—I can’t wait to do their prom in June! 🔥

Here’s a corporate event I did a few weeks ago at @hotelgrandpacific. Did you know that approximately 30% of my gigs are for companies hosting parties rather than couples hosting weddings? Some of them book me year-after-year too: My longest running corporate client has been using my DJ services annually since 2015!

I had my last wedding of 2025 on October 25th and it was an epic one to finish with! Ceremony, Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing at the Esquimalt Gorge Pavilion; with a DJ set that was primarily EDM, Drum n Bass, and Techno. The client asked for “extra bass” so I brought four subs and it went HARD. 🤘🏻🎧

Here’s a beautiful fall wedding from this past October at @churchandstatewines, in Central Saanich. I provided ceremony audio support; DJ services for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing; uplighting around the venue to highlight the natural architecture; and a custom-designed monogram for my DJ booth. 🎧

Normally the ceremony would happen out in the vineyard; however, it was a pretty rainy day so a last-minute decision was made to have it indoors. No matter, though, the view was just as stunning. 🍂

Following the ceremony, the chairs were quickly removed and guests enjoyed cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and dancing to the bride & groom’s super eclectic song requests. This wedding easily fits into my Top 3 of 2025 for how much fun I had! 🎉
