Manage Handwrytten Notes

I misjudged how much amplification I would need. Since I was in a small corner and it was supposed to be more of a lounge gig, I started the event with only speaker. However once the guests arrived and I started DJ’ing I realized one speaker wasn’t enough. I had to add a second speaker during the DJ set. Even with the two speakers, I had to crank them almost full volume during my piano set to be heard. My speakers are only 300W so have nowhere near the power of the F&F K12’s, so now I know these speakers are probably best for crowds under 100 people. Once I have the budget I will invest in a stronger set. The client didn’t seem to mind though. People were dancing both during the DJ and piano set.

People really loved the funky instrumental jazz music I DJ’d, despite not even knowing most of the songs.

The groom’s sibling impersonated all the lyric references in the song “A team” by Ed Sheeran. It gave me a good laugh during my solo show set.

There were two little kids that couldn’t stop dancing with their mother to my Frank Sinatra classics.

At the very end of the night, I DJ’d two for the groom’s favorite songs, and all the guests danced with so much energy and enthusiasm. It was a nice way to end the night.

The client was so easy going and flexible throughout the whole night.

I didn’t play solo piano during the 7:15 to 8:00 timeframe as noted on the gig sheet. Due to the number of people talking in the room and the vibe of the crowd, I thought it would have sounded too mellow. I decided to extend the dj set 15 minutes, and start my piano and vox show at 7:30. The client suggested the extended DJ set and didn’t seem to mind starting my show a little early.

Another note, the client instructed me to add the valet fee to their room tab, so I didn’t pay for parking.
