OK, maybe not “saved,” but he definitely “helped.” On the recommendation of many wedding blogs, we were led to a DJ named Phil Quinaz, aka PQ. We met with him a couple of weeks ago, really like
d him and were inclined to hire him. But before we did, we wanted to hear him spin. Fortunately, he was playing at Southpaw, a venue about a block from Matt’s old apartment in Brooklyn. Always eager for nostalgia, we got a group of friends together to check out his performance at “Hot Jamz,” a 90s-themed dance party. (You can see Margaret posing in front of the billboard to the right.)
Fortunately for us, PQ was excellent. He’s a gifted DJ with great energy on stage. He played a lot of 90s deep cuts, which was enjoyable, but we already let him know at our meeting that our wedding will need to feature a lot more Mariah and Gaga (see post below). He said, “If you want me to play the Spice Girls, I’ll play the Spice Girls.” Not sure we’ll go that far, but it’s good to know he has an open mind. We’ve already e-mailed PQ to let him know that he’s hired, and another task bites the dust.
Matt. Margaret. Marriage.
