The Evening
An evening has a shape. Know it, and you can lead it.
Between the aperitif and the last song lie eight to ten hours with very different moods. I plan them with you in advance and adjust them to what actually happens in the room.
Opening
The first guests arrive, often straight from the ceremony. Acoustic material, funk and soul, quiet enough that nobody notices the music has already started — and warm enough that the afternoon has a tone. From here on I lead the day: one DJ, one thread through to the last song.
Golden hour
Drinks at low sun over the sea — in Mallorca from about 6 pm in June, 5 pm in September. Groovy, acoustic material and calm house in the background. Loud enough to feel alive, quiet enough for the first conversation between guests who have never met.
Dinner
Warm textures, nothing pushes. For me the most important hour of the night — I see who is here, how old the crowd is, who is already moving and who is still seated.
First dance
Your song, cleanly played in, with calm light — and discussed in detail beforehand: how you want to dance, from which part of the song, the final pose, whether with an announcement and applause. Then the transition all of it is made for: the first party starter brings your guests onto the floor with you, and the ten planned songs after it do not let them go.
Peak time
House, hip hop, Latin, EDM, plus the 80s, 90s and 2010s. In blocks, harmonically connected, without a break.
Wind-down
The moment everyone sings one last time. Then it gets warm, quiet and slow. An evening should end, not stop.
The day after
Recovery brunch or pool party. If you celebrate across several days, the thread stays the same.
The moment everything builds towards
Everything before it is preparation: the golden hour, the dinner, the reading of the room. This is where it pays off.
Your song, cleanly cued. The applause. And then the transition the whole evening is built for — the first track that brings your guests onto the floor with you.
Signature · Aperitif
Sunset Session
The low sun takes care of the light, I take care of the rest: jazz, acoustic and groovy sets that sound like the sea and carry conversation instead of drowning it. On request I bring in a live musician who weaves into my set rather than playing against it.
The Sunset Session is the moment your guests arrive — and the start of the arc that ignites at the first dance.
Warm-up · Pre-party
From the afternoon into the evening.
The Sunset Session does not start when the sun is low. It starts when the first guests arrive — as a warm-up nobody notices as such. Funk and soul, deep house and disco house, acoustic pieces in between: groovy, warm, never loud. Music that makes a terrace in Mallorca sound like summer before the evening has even begun.
If you celebrate over several days, this becomes the pre-party on the night before the wedding or the music for the pre-dinner — the same handwriting, one day earlier. And on the wedding day itself: you are not booking a DJ for the dancefloor. You are booking one who leads the whole day — from the first glass in the afternoon to the last song.
DJ + Live
When a saxophone rides the beat.
Some moments want more than a good transition. For the aperitif, the first dance or peak time I bring in live musicians — saxophone, percussion or a vocalist who blend into my set instead of playing against it. I stay the common thread; the musicians are the exclamation marks.
Like everything else, it is arranged in advance — with you. And if you are looking for recommendations beyond the music — photography, ceremony, planning, flowers — I am happy to share my list of suppliers on request: people I have already worked with in Mallorca.
The moments between the songs
An evening is more than a dancefloor. There are moments when everyone holds their breath at once — the bride raises her bouquet, the ribbons pull tight, and in a second the scissors will decide. For moments like these the music takes a step back: the right song, the right volume, and the stage belongs to you. Knowing when the music leads and when it carries — that, too, is part of the craft.
The whole weekend
At a Mallorca wedding your guests travel. Almost nobody comes for one evening — so most couples celebrate across several days. I cover all of it, with one thread.
Welcome dinner the night before. Calm, conversation-friendly. Two families meet — this is not a party yet.
The wedding day. From the ceremony deep into the night.
Pool party or recovery brunch. The day after, usually from noon. Different volume, different music, same signature.
How we prepare
Meeting. A video call, about 30 minutes. You talk about yourselves, I ask questions, and we both notice whether it fits.
Musical concept. Across three to four video calls we set the genres, the time windows, the first dance and the ten songs after it — and the songs that must never play. I take that list as seriously as the wish list.
Running order. Shortly before the wedding we walk through the day point by point and align it with your venue and your planner.
On the day. I build up early, stay reachable and follow the plan — until it no longer fits. Then I decide by what is happening in the room.
Common questions
What couples ask about this.
How long do you play in one evening?
Typically eight to ten hours from the aperitif to the last song. We fix the exact span in the running order; extending into the night is usually possible.
Can we hand in a wish list and a do-not-play list?
Yes, both. The do-not-play list matters to me as much as the wish list — songs that carry a certain memory, or that you simply do not want, will not be played.
Do you take guest requests?
Yes, if you want that. On request I place song-wish cards on the tables before the party, so your guests can make wishes early. I check every request against your do-not-play list and against the moment in the evening. A request that would empty the dancefloor is not refused loudly — it is placed later.
Do you also host?
Discreetly, yes. Announcements, handovers to the couple, guidance for guests. The music leads the evening, not the microphone.
Do you play the welcome dinner and the brunch too?
Yes. With destination weddings the multi-day celebration is the rule rather than the exception. Welcome dinner, wedding day, pool party and recovery brunch — one hand, one thread.
We can't agree on our first-dance song — will you find it with us?
Yes, and usually faster than you would think. What works is looking for your shared moment: the song that belongs to a story of you both. If two favourites remain, each of you writes down five titles — if one appears on both lists, the search is over. And almost any song can be arranged to carry the moment, as an acoustic version or a cleanly shortened edit.
How long should the first dance be?
Ninety seconds to two minutes is a good frame — the dance should be a moment, not an agenda item. Your song is brought in cleanly and resolved cleanly, and right after it the ten planned songs begin, bringing every generation onto the floor.
What is the Sunset Session?
My signature format for the aperitif: jazz, acoustic and groovy sets at low sun, with a live musician on request. It is the start of the arc that leads through dinner to the first dance.
Can we add live musicians?
Yes. For the aperitif, the first dance or peak time I bring in saxophone, percussion or a vocalist on request. The musicians blend into my set — I remain the common thread of the evening.
