A little while back, W.E. provided our interactive brand of DJ/MC entertainment for a wedding in Vancouver, BC. Everything was on point; the bride looked stunning, the groom remembered most of his vows, the food was out-of-this-world, and the sun shone down on a beautiful setting filled with loved ones.
