I hired Dean Henderson for our deejay - and he totally rocked the house! He even got my 75 year-old dad out there doing his own version of "the moonwalk"! LOL!
i chose "click-flash" by ciara for our bridal party intro and it was so perfect! from where we were standing outside waiting out turn to be intro'd, i could see all the flashes from all the cameras as our family and friends were intro'd =) perfectly fun and upbeat song and i'm so glad i chose it!
for our intro as hubby & wife, we chose waiting for tonight by j.lo
we asked dean to let it rip at around the one minute mark when she sings the first chorus, and let it run for about 60 seconds while we danced around the room acting like 2 fools in love (ha!) -- dean's timing was perfect! after j.lo's first lyrics into the 2nd chorus, he slowed it down and played our first song as mr. and mrs., the sweetest love by robin thicke
not wanting to dance for the full length of the song (about 4 minutes), we asked dean to fade it out at the 2 minute mark, which was perfect!
for my dance with my father, we danced to a favorite oldie by the byrds, it's an old song he used to sing to me as a child and holds more meaning to me now as an adult: "turn turn turn" by the byrds
dancing with my father was super emo - we both couldnt hold our tears:
DH and his mom danced to: The Way you Look Tonight, covered by Maroon 5
the only thing we specifically requested was zero macarena and zero "celebration" by kool & the gang -- everything else was up to Dean - we gave him the genres we liked and he just went from there! super great MC and Deejay - i'd totally recommend Dean to any newly engaged couple!
