I may need ACL surgery for the dancing that we did.
Where do I begin. Having a great DJ/MC at your wedding is a fundamental, which I had no idea about. If you want someone playing a Spotify playlist, you’re thinking about things from the wrong frame of reference. From day 1, we knew Devan C. was our guy. He took things step by step, did not overwhelm us with information, and really educated us on the process. I am a particular guy, I love music. Music is important. Devan asked us for a list of 10 songs, I gave him a 155 song playlist. But you have to trust the process. Trust that they know what they are doing, and that they have your best intentions in mind. Minutes before our wedding, Devan pulled me aside and said, this matters to me as much as it matters to you, I don’t want to mess up. And you knew he was genuine about that. Now the intro and the MC portion of it were equal parts classy and fun. He did not make it seem tacky, or forced, or annoying. It was natural, in the moment, and incredible tactful, and we appreciated that because of the mix of people there (your buddies, and also your grandparents).
Now, when the music hit, and you start out with a heater like Mase - Feel so good I had a rubber neck moment because I thought to myself, if this man is starting out with 109 MPH fastball, how is he going to follow that up and keep that energy for the rest of the night? I’m here to tell you, it was the most electric, vibe driven set I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m not exaggerating. Shirts came off, tears were shed, there were movements people’s bodies made I didn’t even know were possible. Any bad energy left from 2 years of a pandemic were gone, instantly. There was a pop-punk mix in that had the room belting at the top of their lungs. No joke, I understand the Beatles mania and the impact of Elvis, because there were visceral tears from how good this set was. This man mixed Spice Girls with Mya’s Case of the Ex. If you’re considering anyone for your wedding, just know, Devan and Washburn are absolutely THE team to help make your day unforgettable. I still don’t have my voice, the friend buzz is palpable, and post 30, I may need ACL surgery for the dancing that we did.
