From the moment I spoke with Kat and Alex, I knew we were going to have an unforgettable experience together. Kat had a crystal-clear vision for her big day, which made my job of bringing that vision to life even more exciting. A huge part of what I do is about understanding the couple—building a connection of trust and comfort, so they can focus on enjoying the moment while I handle the details. I understand how overwhelming wedding planning can be, and my goal is always to remove any obstacles that could get in the way of fun.

By our second call, it already felt like Kat and I had become fast friends. She was smart, opinionated, and asked all the right questions, making it easy to help both her and Alex craft the perfect plan for their celebration. Their families, Russian and Greek, brought a rich cultural dynamic to the day. As someone of Russian and Greek descent, I understood the importance of acknowledging both sides, ensuring everyone felt appreciated and included. We kicked off the dancing with a traditional Greek song, and before long, Alex’s family was tossing money on the floor while everyone linked hands and danced. Watching 120+ guests join in—whether they knew the steps or were learning on the spot—created a vibe of instant camaraderie.

Kat and Alex had assured me their friends would be dancing all night, and they weren’t wrong! With three hours dedicated to the dance floor, I was initially a little nervous—typically, two hours is the sweet spot for keeping the energy high. But any worries quickly vanished as their guests filled the floor non-stop for the entire time. The night ended with everyone jumping together in a giant, joyful celebration—the kind of moment every DJ dreams of. Kat and Alex thanked me afterward, calling it the “BEST NIGHT EVER,” a sentiment Kat echoed in a message the next day.

The evening wrapped with a sparkler send-off, and as Alex dipped Kat for a kiss by the buses, I felt that glow you only get after a night where everything clicks perfectly. Months of planning, countless calls, texts, and emails—all worth it, and then some. Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Tihanov—your wedding was truly one for the books!
