I DJ’ed yesterday at the Allegro Wedding & Events Venue in Dripping Springs. It was my first time there, and I hope to be back soon. It’s an understated, modern yet rustic venue with a history to it, but a place that’s been kept up and modernized over time. It has everything needed for a wedding, including both an outdoor ceremony area and a chapel, several outdoor spaces for cocktails and a comfortable indoor space with air conditioning for a reception. It’s a space that can easily be transformed with lighting into nearly any aesthetic of vibe you are seeking.
The couple and their friends were a laid-back, fun-loving group, and it was a joy to play for them. Their timeline provided plenty of time to eat and enjoy one another’s company, while still leaving nearly 3 hours for dancing. Despite that extended time for tunes, it seemed that hardly anyone left early, and the dance floor stayed full up until the final song.
Here are the songs I played to create a soundtrack for their special day!
