Wedding DJ Hire

Hong Kong Style wedding with R&B / Hiphop music

Recently I was asked to DJ and play R&B / Hip Hop at a wedding in Froyle Park near Alton, Hampshire.

The bride and groom both originated from Hong Kong as did many of the 180 guests. The wedding breakfast was very traditional with some of the speeches being made in Chinese this was followed by the tea ceremony which historically serves as a means for both parties to meet with each other. As Chinese families can be large, and there may be one or two hundred people, it is possible during a courtship to not have been introduced to someone  in the new family. This was particularly true in older generations where the patriarch may have had more than one wife and not all family members were always on good terms. As such, during the tea ceremony, the couple would serve tea to all family members and call them by their official title. Drinking the tea symbolized acceptance into the family, while refusing to drink symbolized opposition to the wedding and was quite unheard of since it would result in a loss of “face”. Older generations would give a red envelope to the matrimonial couple while the couple would be expected to give red envelopes to the unmarried younger ones. The bride also wore a beautiful red dress for this part of the proceedings, changing back into her white dress again for the first dance.

After the Tea Ceremony, the older relatives left and I was asked to play a mixture of R&B, Hip Hop and a few chart tracks.
