WEDDING DJ PARADISE BY WAY OF KENSAL GREEN

Olivia & Daniel’s Wedding at Paradise by Way of Kensal Green – A Transatlantic Celebration

Paradise by Way of Kensal Green is one of West London’s most effortlessly cool wedding venues. With its eclectic décor, vintage charm, and a reputation for throwing some of the best parties in town, it was the perfect setting for Olivia & Daniel’s big day. This wedding had a definite US tint to the soundtrack, with Olivia’s American roots shining through in the music selection, blending Southern rock, classic country, blues, and all-out party anthems for a night that felt totally unique.

A Smooth, Soulful First Dance

The couple chose "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton for their first dance, a slow-burning, soulful country ballad that set a warm, intimate tone to kick things off. The track’s bluesy guitar and smooth vocals made for a gorgeous moment, before DJ Vicki Lou took things up several notches and got the dancefloor fully moving.

An All-American Soundtrack With a London Twist

This was a wedding with serious range. The brief was to reflect Olivia’s US background while keeping things accessible for a London crowd—and that’s exactly what the set delivered. Highlights included:

Southern Rock & Americana Vibes – Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, and The Eagles brought a laid-back, anthemic feel early in the night.
Country Meets Dancefloor – Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like a Woman! had an insane reaction.
Classic & Modern Pop Bangers – Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Dua Lipa kept the dancefloor packed.
Indie & Rock Anthems – Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, and Bruce Springsteen made sure both sides of the pond felt represented.

Curveballs That Worked

Some of the night’s biggest surprises came from unexpected tracks that completely took over the dancefloor:

"Jolene" – Dolly Parton (A proper country moment that had the entire room singing along)
"Wagon Wheel" – Old Crow Medicine Show (A folk-country anthem that landed perfectly with the crowd)
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" – John Denver (One of the biggest singalongs of the night)

Big Tunes That Smashed It

"Dancing in the Dark" – Bruce Springsteen (Springsteen is always a winner)
"American Boy" – Estelle & Kanye West (A fun nod to the cross-Atlantic theme of the night)
"Proud Mary" – Tina Turner (The big ‘rollin’ moment had the dancefloor absolutely going off)

Closing With a Special Song

For the last song of the night, Olivia & Daniel went for something truly personal—"Bull Riders & Songwriters" by Willy Tea Taylor. It was a beautiful, reflective way to end the night, a track that meant a lot to the couple and gave everyone a moment to take it all in before heading home.
