DJing a Wedding at Brodie Homestead
A historic homestead and an evening that moves from cocktails to dance floor without leaving the grounds. Here's how we plan the sound, the timeline and the party.
01
Why we love this venue
Brodie Homestead feels like a Texas backyard party with history built in. For a DJ, that means every part of the night needs its own plan.
02
Cocktail hour to first dance
Cocktail hour is background music with a job: keep energy up while photos happen. We build a set from your favorites at conversation volume, then shift the room for grand entrances, toasts and the first dance.
Uplighting on the trees and building carries the look once the sun goes down — one soft color, matched to your palette.

Tips for Brodie couples
- Confirm the venue's sound end time early — we build the last-dance moment around it.
- Plan a rain call. We keep a backup layout ready so the switch takes minutes, not an hour.
- Pick as many must-play songs as you want and a short do-not-play list. We'll read the room for the rest.
- Give your photographer and DJ the same timeline doc. Fewer surprises for everyone.
