Vendor Friends // The Flashdance Interview

Michael Antonia is The Flashdance // L.A. DJ Interview // Vendor Friends

I love to hear how fellow vendor friends found themselves in the event industry, and how all of our diverse backgrounds lend a hand in making what we do for our clients unique and different. The Define Journal’s interview with  Michael Antonia – the brains behind The Flashdance moniker, head DJ, and all around notorious dance-party-maker – is a refreshing look at how someone’s love of music, and long journey into the wedding world has ended with:

“it makes me feel pretty awesome to say that I own three companies, work with my best friends, and make people TRULY happy every weekend.”

[FYI: he’s the owner of Yeah Rentals and Yeah Weddings, along with The Flashdance collaborative of DJs, some of the best around.]

We’ve got him on the books for a wedding this coming Spring, and I am so excited that Texas folks will finally have the chance to hear The Flashdance live. Even my husband was stunned to hear him warm-up at The Cream Austin and at Britney and Chris’ San Antonio wedding — he gives you goosebumps, and that doesn’t happen often.

Also, this:

“To find new ideas that work, you need to try a lot that don’t. It’s a pure numbers game.” – Robert Sutton via The Define Journal, Michael Antonia interview.

Some good life advice.

When we received word that the mother of the groom was set on using The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas as the scene for the welcome dinner for guests of C & C’s late January wedding, we were beyond excited. We’ve been huge fans of the elegant, light-filled 19th Floor Ballroom (also known as The Governor’s […]

As one of the first and often most important decisions, your venue sets the tone for both your wedding as well as your to-do list for your planning journey. While your venue may or may not be the same for both your ceremony and reception, there are practical considerations such as inclusions (rentals, etc) or […]
