From the moment that Marco called me to check DJ availability and I saw his Tuscon area code, I knew we’d get along \ud83d\ude42 Marco & Laura are fellow Arizona natives that recently made the move up here to Oregon to try a new lifestyle and enjoy the microbrew culture here in Portland. \"Vinyl<\/a>Marco invited us up to the\u00a0Sasquatch Brewery<\/a> where he works\u00a0to go over the music and timeline for their wedding a few months in advance. They were one of the first couples I’ve met that had already taken the initiative to invite their guest to include a song request on their RSVP responses. We think this is an awesome idea and we’ve started recommending it to other couples that we’ve met with. I think it’s a great way to make guests feel included, especially when their “First Dance” song comes on at some point during the reception. Marco and Laura took it even a step further when they created Vinyl Record centerpieces with the names of some classic songs on them for us to use as a “Cue” to release the table and grab some authentic mexican tamales off the food truck from “Tamale Boy<\/a>“. The wedding was held at the Troutdale House<\/a> right off the “Gateway to the Gorge” main street minutes from the Sandy\u00a0River. As a DJ, this venue was super easy to load into and get setup. They provided plenty of power outlets and even a dedicated “nook” for the DJ to be right next to the dance floor. It can comfortably accommodate about 60-80 guests. The coordinators were super laid back and mainly just let us enjoy ourselves. It’s a simple space that we were able to spruce up a bit with some blue uplighting throughout. Here’s a quick video of what I was able to capture from my iPhone at moments:<\/p>\n
