Congratulations to the happy couple on their first slow dance, but this was an alternative – a Wicked Wedding. Watching a grandmother and granddaughter headbang to Du Hast together was uniquely precious! 💗
The bride wore black.
I’ve always been viewed as a rebel. It’s not that I wanted to be. It’s just that I have a problem accepting rules that harm no one to break and make no sense to the people involved. Traditional wedding expectations have always topped my list as a DJ (#2 is purely rotation-driven karaoke).
I mean, if you prefer a white wedding without White Wedding, I nail that vibe, too, but may brides feel pressured into that when what they really want is something a bit (or a lot) more on the darker or higher-contrast side. Maybe even an audience-oriented karaoke dance party featuring the best man channeling his inner Jonathan Davis.
That’s why I created Wicked Weddings™️. Wicked Dahk. Wicked Pissah. Wicked Boston.

I understand nuance. You’re looking for that sweet spot. You want a professional who knows how to give you the wedding you’ll never forget, but you don’t want someone who thinks The Cure is too moody for a reception.
I’ve spent years balancing the standards of my industry with the expectations of clients, but my heart has always been about the music. I’ve had more arguments than I care to remember with colleagues and even bosses about the “right way” to run a wedding. They very often demand conformity, but why? I don’t accept that, so why should you?
I WILL play Closer by Nine Inch Nails if you ask me for it. And whether you choose a Wicked Wedding or not, I will probably avoid playing The Electric Slide. I don’t do easy, cheesy weddings.
At the end of the day, your wedding shouldn’t feel like a template. It should feel like the best version of your favorite Saturday night. Whether we’re bathing the room in moody purple uplighting or dropping a heavy riff that gets the whole family headbanging, it’s about authenticity.
It’s your wedding because you are you.
