Of all the San Diego wedding DJs calling America’s finest city home, Bristol & Steven chose me to DJ and MC their Jewish Twin Oaks Golf Course Wedding in San Marcos on Sunday, May 5, 2019. The following write-up is based on San Diego DJ Staci’s crazy organized & detailed outline for this Twin Oaks Golf Course wedding.
THE TWIN OAKS GOLF COURSE WEDDING CEREMONY
Prelude ➔ Savage Garden’s “Savage Garden” album
First Processional (wedding party) ➔ “Behind the Nut Love” by John 5 and the Creatures
Bride’s Processional ➔ “Ode to Jasper” by John 5 and the Creatures (bride will circle groom x7, loop song)
Recessional ➔ “Truly Madly Deeply” by Savage Garden
THE COCKTAIL HOUR & DINNER MUSIC
While San Diego DJ Staci offers couples pre-set cocktail & dinner playlists to choose from, Bristol & Steven opted to hand-select their background music for their golf course wedding in San Marcos. For Cocktails, Bristol chose: P-Square, Classic Rock, Green Day, & Oldies. For Dinner, Bristol chose: Dear Future Husband – Meghan Trainor, JLo (90s softer stuff like “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”), Elvis Presley, & Green Day.
TWIN OAKS GOLF COURSE WEDDING RECEPTION
MC Welcome ➔ “Good evening! Welcome to Bristol & Steven’s wedding reception!!! I am the Master of Ceremonies, DJ Staci. Please take your seats so we can officially welcome our guests of honor. Be sure to post your photos today with #BristolAndSteven. If you need to charge your devices, I do have a mini charging station up here including some universal chargers.”
“Tonight I’m going to be sharing a lot of stories about Bristol & Steven with you. To get rolling, let’s tackle the first ‘I love you.’ So, early on in their dating, Steven had said he loved Bristol…she let it go & didn’t respond. About 2 months later, he drove up to the 56 to help her out because she had a flat tire. That’s when she realized she loved him too. About a week later, she wrote those 3 little words on Steven’s 31st birthday card. Ladies & gentlemen, are you ready to welcome our guests of honors?”
Grand Entrance ➔ Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson (cued to instrumental intro) ➔ “They met in spring of 2015 on PlentyOfFish.com. Together, they enjoy concerts & binge watching Netflix. Together, they have traveled to Colorado, Montana, Washington DC, & Virginia. For their honeymoon, they are planning a trip to Italy! Ladies & gentlemen, get on your feet to welcome–for the FIRST TIME EVER–Mr. and Mrs. M——!!!”
➔ First Dance ➔ I Knew I loved You by Savage Garden ➔ fade early: yes ➔ “On their 3 year anniversary, Bristol & Steven were at home eating their favorite Chinese food & drinking a good bottle of Tempernillo. He gave her a box of chocolates as a gift…awesome, right? And she popped it open & started eating them. But then suddenly he popped a ring box out, got down on one knee, & asked Bristol a very important question. I think we all know how she answered because we are about to welcome Mr. and Mrs. M to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife.”
➔ Kiddush & Challah ➔ “Please take your seats, and we’ll ask the bride’s Uncle Alan to come up for the Kiddish.”
6:50 +/- PM ➔ Announce: “Tables 1 & 14 are now invited to the buffet.” (then Coordinator will dismiss other tables) ➔ Meal Served: Buffet/Food Stations/Etc
7:15 +/- PM ➔ Toasts ➔ champagne ➔ “Ladies & gentlemen, I hope you are enjoyed your meals. On that note, may I have your attention please for the toasts. Welcome our first speaker:
➔ Mother of Bride, Barbara
➔ Best Man Michael
➔ Maid of Honor, Eliza
➔ Formal Cake Cutting ➔ Sugar by Maroon 5
➔ Mother-Son Dance ➔ A Song for Momma by Boyz II Men ➔ fade early: yes ➔ “About his mother, Steven says, ‘She is always willing to go above and beyond for me–even if it means going to to top of Sear’s tower despite her deathly fear of heights.’ Let’s welcome Steven & his mother, Anita, to the dance floor to share a special dance.”
➔ Father-Daughter Dance ➔ Memories by Elvis Presley ➔ fade early: yes ➔ “One of Bristal’s favorite memories from childhood with her dad is driving in his Chevy convertible singing along to his Elvis cassettes in their blue and purple sunglasses from the swap meet. And now let’s welcome Bristol & her father, Hal, to the dance floor.”
