Abbie & Frank – Willowdale Estate

I always appreciate when a couple has a clear vision for their big day, and Frank and Abbie were no exception. From our very first call, I could tell their wedding would be both a fun challenge and a unique experience.

Frank and Abbie share a deep passion for EDM (Electronic Dance Music), so much so that many of the tracks on their playlist were songs I’d never heard before. They are deeply in tune with the current electronic music scene and were determined to bring that energy to their celebration. However, as a DJ, I always caution couples about the delicate balance between personal taste and ensuring their guests connect with the music. After all, unfamiliar songs—no matter how great—can sometimes leave a dance floor empty.

Over months of conversations with Frank, I gained a deep understanding of their vision. My role was to ask the right questions—Who’s attending? What’s the vibe? What’s most important to you?—so I could craft a plan that aligned with what they truly wanted. It became clear that Frank and Abbie’s goal wasn’t a packed dance floor with everyone on their feet but rather an authentic reflection of who they are through the music they love. Once I understood that, the objective shifted from creating a universal dance party to delivering a deeply personal EDM experience that resonated with them and their inner circle.

The Big Day at Willowdale Estate

Their wedding at the Willowdale Estate was nothing short of magical. This venue, with its storybook charm and gorgeous setting, is one of my favorites. When I finally met Frank and Abbie in person, everything clicked. Months of conversations about their vision came flooding back, and I was ready to bring it to life.

The day started with classic wedding favorites to welcome everyone to the dance floor. But as the night progressed, it was time to transition into full EDM mode. The moment the beats dropped, Abbie lit up, dancing with pure joy alongside her closest friends. Watching her immerse herself in the music and seeing how much it meant to her and Frank made it clear that this was exactly the celebration they had dreamed of.

The energy was electric, and their family and friends embraced the unique vibe. It was like being back in the club scene, blending beats and tracks seamlessly in a way that isn’t often required for traditional weddings.

Mission Accomplished

By the end of the night, it was obvious the mission had been accomplished. Abbie and Frank were beaming with happiness, and I knew I had successfully delivered their dream wedding soundtrack. Their heartfelt thank-you at the end of the night meant the world to me, and Frank’s glowing online review was one of the most thoughtful I’ve ever received.

To top it off, Frank’s sister Steph recently reached out to book me for her wedding later this year. Round two with this amazing family? I can’t wait!
