The Spa Sessions Wedding Cocktail Hour
Mobile DJs tend to take a physical beating on the job between hauling heavy gear and spending long hours on our feet. Through the years, we’ve come to appreciate the value of revitalizing in the spa. At a recent spa session in East Windsor NJ, a pedicure and foot massage was enhanced by a delightful soundtrack featuring Broadway show tunes, classical music and crooners. The music had a very cinematic feel. Inspired by the experience, we compiled the following playlist with artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Erik Satie, Michael Crawford, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Sarah Brightman and Chris Botti.
If this playlist is too mellow for your wedding cocktail hour, then consider it for the honeymoon or a spa day with your bridesmaids.
For a signature drink, we’ve selected the Serendipi-Tea from Jules Aron’s book, “Zen and Tonic.” As per the author, “this green tea martini is reminscent of a day at the spa. The cucumbers, green tea and lemongrass play together like a symphony of blissful flavors.” Included in this martini are 4 ounces of sake (Japanese rice wine).
