This past weekend (July 16th), we were back at it once again at a beautiful local country club for another Rochester wedding. We met the bride a little over a year ago and kept in constant communication with her from time to time to get as much information as possible so that her and her fiance’s big day was nothing short of amazing. The interesting thing about this wedding is that both the bride and her Maid of Honor used to come out to a local nightclub (Two89) to see DJ Kalifornia play. Josh (Kalifornia) held a very long residency there and used to have hundreds of people come out every weekend to hear him spin. So it was a fun wedding to remember the old days and bring the bride and MOH back to those fun times. This entry is entitled Mykins Wedding as this is all about Mr. & Mrs. Mykins!
DJ Kalifornia (Joshua V.) is an 13 time finalist and 5 time winner in the annual Best of Rochester City News Poll as Best Rochester DJ, voted upon by thousands of people over the years as a finalist and winner.
