DJ Romeo knows what’s special about a wedding and what is most important on your big day, brides
WHEN I STARTED DJING, it was about the party: the women, the alcohol and the music. But over the years I have learned being a DJ is more than that; it’s about creating moments.
As I grow, I see friends taking the leap into marriage, and I’ve grown to love the sacred tradition that is the wedding reception. I’ll always work a small wedding over an AC club, simply because of what it means to one person… the bride!
Women have always been fascinating creatures to me, and I think I may have earned the nickname “Romeo” because I love to make them smile. From the first dance to the last, my focus is on her; it’s her one night to be the princess.
Grooms on the other hand, at least the ones I have encountered, are either too drunk to know whats going on, too nervous to actually enjoy themselves or too concerned with, “When will the night end so we can consumate this whole shebang?”
Women run the world, so when it comes to weddings, it is all about the bride. She runs the show. She needs to be on the dancefloor all night singing every song with her bridesmaids, dancing her ass off, and by the end of the night her feet hurt so much she hates the DJ (me). When she wakes up in the morning she should feel like P.Diddy (or whatever he is calling himself by the time this goes to print).
The following is a sampling of the music that any potential bride needs to think about. And, as one of the most-requested DJs for the Philadelphia area’s biggest DJ company, Schaffer Sound Productions, I think I may know what I’m talking about. These are the most-requested songs sure to become part of your everlasting love story.
