Picture a very large room with casino tables all the way to the left end of the room, and a Photo Booth all the way to the right. The dance floor was in the middle of this HUGE room.
Although I Dj at clubs, bars, and large party events, doing it in a very large room that has other sources of entertainment can be very challenging.
The RMA Gala took place at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. At 23,408 square feet, grand does not do justice in describing their Grand Ballroom, the largest in Maryland!
Featuring a beautiful coffered ceiling with stylish chandeliers, rich carpeting, fine architectural and decorative detailing, and capable of accommodating 3,200 guests. Their Grand Ballroom is the epitome of modern elegance.
I am always up for a challenge and getting as many people I could on the dance floor was my goal. I had to use every tool in my box to keep people on the dance floor. I am happy to say that it was a huge success! I kept the atmosphere at a high energy level at all times. Playing a wide variety of music, and interacting with the crowd was key.
At the end of the night, I received many compliments, one being from the CEO of the company and his family. The biggest compliment was RMA asking me to please come back and DJ at their next annual gala!
“We want to book you, and if you are already booked, we will choose the date of the Gala around your availability.” Little do they know that words like that remain engraved in my heart forever. Making their gala a success is my greatest joy.
