YOUR WEDDING. YOUR TASTE.
MY READ OF THE ROOM.
I SPENT YEARS
AVOIDING WEDDINGS.
FROM ~80 PEOPLE
A NIGHT
TO 150–200
EVERY TUESDAY.
UP TO ~300
ON THE BIG NIGHTS.

For years, I was focused almost entirely on clubs. While weddings were the natural path for many DJs, I kept chasing nightlife, residencies and bigger rooms.
02 / ELECTION DAY
HE DIDN'T NEED
TO BECOME YOUNGER.
THE CAMPAIGN NEEDED
TO GET CLOSER.
YONA YAHAV WAS ELECTED MAYOR OF HAIFA IN 2024.
01 / THE SWITCH
More than a decade behind DJ booths taught me how to read a room, control its energy and know when to give people exactly what they want - and when to surprise them.
TURNS OUT,
I WAS LEARNING
HOW TO READ ONE.
It starts with getting to know each other.
If the vibe is right, we start building the night together.
THE SET STARTS
BEFORE THE WEDDING.
Weddings simply gave that skill a different challenge.
02 / THE APPROACH
THERE'S NO
DEFAULT WEDDING.
Every wedding is a different mix of people, generations and musical tastes. The job isn't to follow a formula - it's to find the overlap between what you love, what your guests respond to and what's happening in the room.

THE MOMENT
03 / THE PROCESS
01 / WE MEET
We talk, listen to music and get a feel for what your wedding should sound like.
02 / YOU GET THE PLAYLISTS
I send Spotify playlists for each part of the wedding, so you can save what you love, trash what you don't and come prepared with ideas.
03 / WE BUILD IT TOGETHER
At our music meeting, we shape everything from the reception and ceremony to the dance floor and after.
04 / I READ THE ROOM
The plan gives us direction. What happens on the dance floor in front of me decides where we go next.
PLAN EVERYTHING.
SCRIPT NOTHING.
I DON'T DO
WEDDINGS
ON AUTOPILOT.
04 / THE PERSONAL PART
I don't play dozens of weddings every month.
And I actually see that as an advantage.
I get to know every couple, spend time on the music and stay involved throughout the process. By the time the wedding comes around, I don't want to feel like a DJ who showed up with a playlist. I want to know what we're trying to create together.

THERE'LL BE
A MOMENT.
You'll look at the dance floor and see your friends, your family and someone you never expected to dance - all completely in it.
AND THE SONG
WASN'T EVEN
ON THE PLAYLIST.
It just came at the right time.
READ THE ROOM. KEEP THE TASTE.
