Almost all of my gigs are either weddings or nightclub events. So when I get asked to do other types of events, I always have to re-set my thought process. A couple that attended one of my 2019 weddings called me and asked me to help with their anniversary party which took place last night.
The crowd skewed considerably older as you'd expect except for the couple's kids and a small group of their friends. They asked me to stick mainly to 70s and 80s and only had a handful of requests. I just wanted to share that playlist since it's considerably different than what I normally share.
It was just mingling until about 7:50, then a small renewal ceremony. We played their first dance, and then it opened up for the rest of the night.
One of the coolest parts of the night is that the parents of the bride from the wedding I did last year were there. And they were so excited to see me doing the event, and came up to take pictures with me to tell their kids. They shared how great the wedding was and that they still talk about the work I did.
