Follow the Leader – Gets the Dance Floor Popping!
I forgot about this track . . . “Follow the Leader” by The Soca Boys ft Van B King But it sure worked for this crowd. This wedding took place at Timber Ridge Event Centre and the outdoor venue was perfect for a night of dancing. The dance line that formed during this song actually…

A Survival Checklist for the Groom (by the Bride’s Siblings)
One of the bride’s sisters reached out to me to provide music for a special moment she planned. This was meant to be a silly trip down memory lane, but also to give the groom some tips on how to survive in their marriage. I had no idea what to expect as I prepared the…

I played a lot of Disney music…
