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, I’ve come to appreciate the value of the spa.  I particularly enjoy foot massages.  At my last spa session at the Sky Nail Zone in East Windsor,  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, I 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).  For more information about Ms. Aron and Zen and Tonic, click here.  To purchase the book on Amazon, visit http://a.co/9KL5rNj
