Today I received a phone call I had not previously in my professional DJ career.
We are experiencing a bit of panic here in New jersey & NYC due to concerns about the possibilities of Hurricane Irene approaching this weekend. I am not overly concerned but many are, including the owners of the venue where this Bride was supposed to be getting married tomorrow. They cancelled the wedding much to the disappointment of The Bride, Groom and their guests. He is from The U.K. and his family has traveled a long way to make it to his wedding. This would be the second time in the last year I have been hired for a wedding that at the last minute, the family from another country were experiencing major conflicts with making it to the wedding here in The USA. Last time it was closed airports in France due to safety concerns. Just like last time, The Bride called me frantically and we found a way to get them married and have a great time. This time her mother actually found a venue last minute that was not closing and was able to get a staff together in time for the wedding tomorrow morning!
The Bride has found a way to get married with her new in-laws able to attend. Last time we spoke she was asking if and how I would be able to change locations and if I would still be able to DJ and MC their wedding with the impending hurricane coming. I can and I will. I have experienced hurricanes before while living in Florida and North Carolina, tornadoes in Indiana, wind storms in Colorado and a year and a half living and traveling through Asia without speaking any of the native languages. If your family can make it from The U.K., I can make it from right here in New Jersey.
We’ll see how the story unfolds tomorrow!
