 Thank you, Connally HS, for your prom photo booth rental! - Austin's Best DJs Saturday, we provided a photo booth for Connally High School's 2018 prom! The prom took place at the Courtyard by Marriott, in Round Rock, Texas. They initially contacted us to book a DJ and photo booth for their prom, but they did not get back to us quickly enough. Our DJ dates go very quickly, so unfortunately, we only had a photo booth open. We're glad we were able to at least be there with our photo booth, though! (We've DJed nearly all of Connally's events for the last few years, so we were sad to not be able to do this one). :( The students had a blast taking pictures throughout the evening. Eliza kept everyone entertained at the photo booth with our fun, unique props. Are there any teenagers who don't like selfies? :) We'll be sure to post some pictures of the fun, soon! Thanks, again, to all the Connally HS students and faculty, for having us, again, this year! Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths

Who doesn't love taking selfies? :) Simply contact us and let us know where you need us to set up the photo booth.

You can choose from a variety of different color backdrops. We have gold, silver, rose gold, burnt orange (hook 'em), maroon (gig 'em), black, and blue! We'll bring the fun, free props, too.

Wednesday night, we had a great time providing a DJ and photo booth, for a Casino Night, at Scottish Rite Dormitory, at the University of Texas campus, in Austin. Dorm residents were able to play a variety of casino games throughout the evening, and won tickets. A raffle was held towards the end of the night, using the tickets to decide the winners! A lot of students won prizes!
Jason personally DJed this event and played a variety of music, to keep the students dancing, all night! We played Top 40, Dance, Hip Hop, Country and Texas Country! Diana kept the students entertained at the photo booth, throughout the evening, too! Students took tons of pictures at the photo booth, all night! Even when Diana closed the photo booth, students continued to take pictures with the backdrop and props, using their phones, while she was breaking down! It was a huge hit! :) We had a blast and look forward to the next event with SRD! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths  The Wedding Processional Order - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths The order of your wedding processional or recessional, will depend on the type of wedding ceremony you're having. We usually see a religious or civil ceremony, and sometimes a military wedding ceremony. We'll discuss what we normally see at our weddings and events, but remember, this is your big day, so you can do whatever you'd like, traditional or not! :) Christian Wedding Ceremony Processional OrderWe provide our DJ and photo booth services for numerous weddings, every month, all year long. Most weddings that we do are traditional, Christian weddings. The Christian processionals and recessionals usually follow the same order. The processional order in a Christian, heterosexual wedding ceremony is:
Civil Ceremony & Same Sex Wedding Processional OrderToday, wedding ceremonies are becoming less traditional. Whether the ceremony is religious or not, couples should do what they want to do. There are no set rules and there is no set order for a civil ceremony. You can borrow procedures from a religious ceremony, or simply create your own. Just discuss what works for you, write it down (or your planner will) and practice it at the rehearsal. Again, what's most important is that the ceremony feels right to you!
Here's an example of the processional order in a same sex wedding ceremony.
We hope this has been helpful. By no means is our lists the only way. As always, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths
Saturday evening, we had a blast providing our DJ services for a fun Quinceanera, at St. Vincent de Paul Church, in Austin, Texas. We helped Chiara and her friends and family celebrate her pivotal 15th birthday! Chiara wore a nice Burgundy dress, while the court wore pink. The pink and burgundy colors made for a great theme for the decor. We added pink uplighting, near the cake area, as well as near our area, to bring the room together.
Mariachi Relampago joined us and played great Mariachi hits, as well as a few other songs, for dinner. I loved their Spanish version of "My Way' from Elvis! They also played "Un Puno de Tierra, from Ramon Ayala, which was great! Jason & Diana personally worked this event. Everyone had a great time, dancing to a a variety of pop, 80's, Latin, Reggaeton, and more. The hora loca was a lot of fun! We played a lot of their requested music and provided glow sticks. We're glad that everyone had fun! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths  The Top 10 Post-Wedding Brunch Places in Austin, Texas So the big day that you've planned for is finally done. Yay! You're now newlyweds, congratulations! If you're like most couples, today, then you know that the wedding celebration isn't quite over, yet. Most weddings are now a full weekend of events, not just one day (though it can be, of course). The post-wedding brunch typically falls on a Sunday, since most weddings are on Saturdays. The post-wedding brunch is typically for the couple's families and wedding guests who are still in town. However, many times the wedding party also attends, as well. Basically, anyone you want to invite is welcome to attend, and you knew that already. :) When it comes to payment for the brunch, parents can pay, but more and more, the newlyweds are also paying, instead. WHERE SHOULD YOU HAVE THE POST-WEDDING BRUNCH?Ideally, you should try to find a place that is close to where your guests are staying or near the wedding venue, if you and your guests stayed there. If not, try to find a "landmark" location that's easy to find, so your guests from out of town can find it. You can even have it at a friend or family member's backyard! Anywhere that works best for you, should work! If you decide to have the brunch in the Austin area, we have a few great recommendations. WHO HAS THE BEST BRUNCH IN AUSTIN, TEXAS?This is a common question that many people are asking, just about every weekend on social media. There's no doubt about it, there are numerous amazing places in Austin that have great brunch menus! Who can resist waffles, pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit, great cocktails (Bloody Mary's & Mimosas are essential for life) and great coffee, of course? We certainly can't! I'm getting hungry just writing this! :) By the way, we're world travelers and have had amazing food and coffee in numerous countries, so it's pretty hard to impress us. The best coffee we've ever had was in Costa Rica and in Amsterdam! However, we can't compare those experiences to our local experiences, since they're quite different.
Back to the subject, so listing the "top 10" is really difficult to do. The results will vary, depending on who you ask, of course. For this list, we're considering the number of recommendations (from other wedding pros), online reviews, size of the place (for accommodations), and overall experience. That being said, here's what we came up with. Simply click on each restaurant's name, to see their websites/menus.
As always, while this list is a great list, there are so many great brunch places in Austin that we may not have included. We wrote this list aimed at great places that are able to accommodate for larger parties. Many of our favorite places did not get included, since we can't write the top 50 or 100 places (that would take way too long). I'm sure we left off a few of your favorites, too. Feedback and comments are always welcome! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths  Rest in Peace, Artist, DJ & Producer, Aviccii Photo: Piece of Magic We were sad to learn, today, that artist, DJ and producer, Tim Bergling, better known as Aviccii, died, today, at age 28. This was certainly a shock to his family and friends, and of course to his fans. Aviccii did retire from live performing, in 2016, citing health reasons. He suffered from acute pancreatitis, in part due to excessive drinking.
His memory will certainly continue to live on, through his music. We'll continue to play Aviccii's hits, "Levels," "Wake Me Up" and many other great songs, throughout the year. A talented artist, DJ, and producer, gone too soon. Rest in peace, Aviccii! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booth  Just married! - Austin's Best DJs
Saturday, we provided our DJ services for a fun wedding ceremony and reception, at Vintage Villas, in Austin, Texas. The ceremony spot overlooks Lake Travis, and was perfect on this beautiful, cool spring day! Vintage Villas definitely has one of the best views for great wedding ceremony pictures!
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks during cocktail hour. After this, we introduced Darin & Andrea, as they walked in to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," from Jet! Everyone enjoyed a great lunch, and did some dancing to Andrea and Darin's favorite Alternative, 60s, 70s, and Pop hits. Jason & Diana personally worked this event and provided the music for the entire event. The colors were Lavender/Purple and they looked great. We decided to add a few purple uplights, to tie the room together, which looked great, too! Overall, it was a fun daytime wedding. Congrats, again, to our couple Darin & Andrea! - Austin's Best DJs & Photo Booths |
