- SBC: What is the number one “Do not play” song that your couples request?
- Carlos: The Chicken Dance by far! A close second is the Marcarena. Although with these songs even if they are not on the couples do not play list we will not play one unless they are specifically requested by either the bride or the groom;-)
- SBC: What is your best advice for brides and grooms on how to choose their DJ?
- Carlos: Meet with them! Not every DJ is right for you. A DJ has to have the right personality for your reception. When you are meeting with a DJ company make sure that you ask to meet with the DJ/MC who will be working your event.
- SBC: Why did you choose “Midnight Magic” as the name of your company?
Carlos: Midnight Magic was a company I looked up to when I started my business in Emmett, Idaho 13 years ago. Midnight Magic was the company you thought of when you thought of elegance, fun & professionalism. Owner Rick Steele was my mentor in my first years of my career and taught me much of what I know and use today. Midnight Magic no longer operates in Idaho and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a constant reminder of excellence in my business. - SBC: Describe one of your most memorable receptions?
- Carlos: I did a reception for a comic book store owner in Cocoa Beach, FL in 2004. Memorable doesn’t even come close to describing this reception. The groom was dressed as Spiderman the bride was dressed as Buffy. The wedding cake was a giant building with Spiderman scaling the building. The costumes didn’t end with the bridal party either. All of the guests were invited to dress up as well. I can say this was definitely not a black tie affair!
- SBC: What is one of the most unusual first dance songs you were requested to play?
- Carlos: Have not seen it before or since. We did a reception in New Albany in 2008 for a couple who was both into the rock scene. Their first dance was “Crazy Bitch” by Buckcherry
- SBC: What song did Carrie and you chose to dance to for your first dance?
Carlos: This is funny Carrie and I were to be married in March of 2007, because of insurance reasons we got married in secret in August of 2006. 3 months later we finally told everyone and just never got to the proper wedding and reception. We do have a song though it’s Rascal Flatts “Bless The Broken Road”. And finally we are going to have the reception we never did in August of 2011 for our 5th anniversary. - SBC: What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say “IPOD”?
- Carlos: 90’s! That’s what mine is packed with;-)
