It's Mel and Holly Time !











November 5th, 2011 was a magic day. This was New Life………As in New Life Providence Church ! A few days prior to the event in a final meeting with our couple Mel (the groom) noticed the church program from a day ago in DJ Seko’s Event-Performance Binder. “No…..You’re kidding me…….Babe, he goes to New Life too !” It turns out that the officiant for their wedding, Pastor Kevin Turpin, was from New Life Providence. The instrumentalists performing for their ceremony were also from New Life. The couple started attending New Life Providence about four years ago and became members two years ago. DJ Seko’s family started attending New Life Providence six years ago…... Seko recounts that he knew that Mel looked familiar…(Seko’s not claiming perfect attendance here…Maybe 65% or so…. I’m sure some are surprised to read that Seko attends church…….Truthfully Seko needs to attend more (If anybody needs Jesus it's Seko)! (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…..We digressed….) Seko and the family-to-be discussed reasons for attending New Life Providence and all laughed knowing that this was really going to be a family affair.

The ceremony & reception took place at The Founders Inn in Virginia Beach, VA. Seko noted that he was pleased that they choose Blue Steel Lighting. Blue Steel presented a moving (actually moving) fall visual which instantly made anyone feel as if they were arriving home for the Holy-Days/Holidays. The couple decided upon using Positive Vibes for the reception only. Seko introduced the wedding party using the Peanuts-Charlie Brown theme called Linus and Lucy. You probably remember the Peanuts cartoons…… This was the song that Linus played which seemed to always start the party ! Seko called the wedding party the “Peanut Gallery” and jokingly noted before introducing the bride and groom that Lucy finally got Linus before providing the “Storybook” introductions that Positive Vibes is known for.
The meal was a blast ! Seko always finds special touches and activities to make the normal boring mealtime a raving foot-stomping party. The energetic dinner soundtrack included Country favorites, Light and Classic Rock, Motown Soul, and upbeat Popular music. The diverse musical selections was a perfect match for the diverse guest demographics. Holly wondered before the wedding if the diverse groups would enjoy themselves……….. Don’t worry, be happy ! A good time was had by all !

Seko ensured that Fred the Photographer remained busy and engaged the crowd in numerous high energy dances and even did a Paparazzi dance allowing moments for the couple and their guests to have the photographer catch them in some fun poses ! The crowd yelled in a frenzy in response to the question “What time is it ?” The correct and refrained answer was “Mel & Holly TIME !”

After all is said and done, this event was absolute fun. We look forward to the anniversary Jam !

The 04 14 2012 Jersey Fist Pump Wedding

Wedding Ceremony & Reception
The Founders Inn and Spa, Virginia Beach, Virginia  

"My husband and I have a very broad taste in music that most DJs may not relate to. After meeting and speaking with DJ Seko and sensing how professional he was, and how open he was to our taste in music, it made us feel at ease that we would have a great time. He definitely did not disappoint in the least. Family and friends are still buzzing about how good he was, and how he was able to get everyone involved in a way unlike any traditional DJ they have ever heard. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the music selection . DJ Seko had everyone in the party from young to old dancing from the beginning to the end. DJ Seko = Good times, great music, and fun had by all!" - Melanie Azemar-Woodson

This Destination Wedding event was classic from beginning to end ! The entire group traveled from New Jersey pumping their fists (including the photographers). 

Positive Vibes provided the ceremony sound system for the ceremony. This system provides a microphone that picks up everything from Bride-Groom-Officiator and provides additional microphones if other participants need reinforcement. This also provides prelude music 30 minutes prior to the ceremony, all the music needed for the ceremony, and for up to 30 minutes following the ceremony. Pastor Ron McLean, both a Man of the cloth and a excellent financial planner (Seko jokingly introduced him as 'Pastor Paycheck') blessed the union with his wit, love, and compassion. DJ Seko (Seko Varner) then worked the reception adding his flair and creativity. Guests begin as spectators, and end as participants in the reception. The event was magical !

Mel was a knock-out reportedly from the time Seko met her. Seko says that he saw what Corey saw in her in the first 10 minutes. They both hailed from New Jersey and had a truly global appreciation for music. In example: at the ceremony Corey entered the ceremony on "I Do" performed by Boyz II Men (Seko almost insists that all Grooms have their special entrance songs), our Bride Melanie entered the ceremony on "Spend My Life With You" performed by Eric Bemet and Tamia, and the recessional was Sanchez' Roots-Reggae version of "Nothing's Gonna' Change My Love for You." The parents were introduced during the reception over an edited version of "I'm Sexy and I Know it" performed by LMFAO. Later in the reception Seko did a (completely packed dance floor) mix of "The Perculator" by Cajmere with "Conga" performed by Miami Sound Machine. Ten minutes later the crowd was sweating to the sounds of
"Zouk la Se Sel Medikaman Nou Ni" performed by Kassaz just before Seko mixed in Elvis Crespo's Suavamente. The entire event was sparkled by the crowd Pumping their fists Jersey Style !    http://www.positivevibes.djintelligence.com/survey/results/
