When Elle and her family first hired me as her Sweet Sixteen DJ, there was no plan on including The Storybook as part of their package. However, as we got to know each other in the initial planning stages, it seemed like a perfect fit for her Sweet Sixteen. We decided to go ahead and create her personalized Storybook together. I am so glad we did because it was a great success that everybody loved!
Her Storybook started right with her birth, and included special moments from her childhood and teen years. I worked with my Sweet Sixteen DJ Assistant to come up with some great musical selections to add flavor and extra energy to the narrative. Everyone agreed – it came out amazing!
Her friends and family could not stop laughing, cheering, aahing, and clapping throughout the whole presentation. Elle was all smiles, except for a tear or two along the way when talking about her grandmother and the time she proposed to Daniel Radcliffe. We added pieces about her family and her two best friends, who were also in tears a few times and ran up to give me a big hug afterwards. We are still editing the video, but hope to post it soon to show off our collaborative project.
Of course, the rest of the night was a blast with the kids wanting to dance right through dinner. The caterers made several requests to have me ask them to sit down and eat before the food got cold! Elle’s Sixteen Candle Ceremony was touching, and she inspired all of us with her warmth and love for friends and family. It really was a great night, one I am sure she and her family will remember forever.
