Wedding songs and music are here to bloom
A big day to enjoin as it zooms
As ably managed by wedding planners as they groom
The awe of a dream wedding behold it looms!
As the wedding ceremony turns but loose
Such gaiety with the marital vows ensues
A longing for such love for both is eternally truced
For the wedding march ends and next is cued.
There, a wedding planning is meant and very good
The joy from everyone's faces never fooled
As they enjoined themselves for the symbolic food
Where wedding reception program enfolds.
Great wedding musicians from the Philippines is told
Sharing the moment with the bride and the groom holds
Such wonder even the wedding coordinators lord
Making sure all turns gold.
AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS here we are to move
Obstacles to nil for good
For with spirit, soul and a tool
Making spectacular wedding day worth told.
A
gathering of children and relatives that filled the hall of
Fernandina Bar and Restaurant cherished the moment with the celebrant
on his 75th birthday celebration with the mood music of
Augustine Music and Events and program hosted by Mario
Lupato.
Touching
moments reverberated the air with the messages of the children who
mostly arrived from the states with their kids and of course, helped
for the preparations. The program was handed to me an hour before the
program started and suggested some inclusions like their
participation of the program. The celebrant's two daughters did
fantastic song numbers displaying real voice quality of the good ones
and a grandchild did a special song for him singing an apt song,
“Thank you.”
Another
highlight was when the grandchildren did a special scintillating
dance number to our delight. But the best part was when the celebrant
did his message summarizing a life bringing up professional children
of eight. Two are here in the Philippines and the rest arrived from
the states to grace an important event on the life of their father,
Mr. Quintin Exevea Macaculop.
I
love doing an intimate affair like birthdays where ostentatious
displays are none but nothing beats wedding events where serious work
is required and careful preparations are implemented and being in
line with wedding event services, we from Augustine Music and Events
make sure that we know what we are doing to the best of our
knowledge.
He started at the age of 17 when he joined the newly formed Augustine Music and Events where he was the operator of the sound system of the group doing party music for the wedding reception. He did this for keeps not knowing that this is the hollow ground where passion starts. He did this with little remuneration but in the course of time, he began to enjoy being a DJ.
Being young and bubbly, he favored the music of the time where hip hop and the likes ruled not knowing that ballroom music will always be there to stay. So, he developed the liking of ballroom music and was an in thing then. As he went on, Jeff, as he is called, pursued other music genre to include on his repertoire of vast music collections.
A break was given him when he was asked to play house music at Nepomuceno’s Bowling Alley, Eastwood, Pasig City. Then, given a slot and began to enjoy his stint there where he met friends and contacts who liked his brand of music. Some offers started from there but remained longer at the alley because he enjoyed the place, for sure. Well, I think anyone wants a certain lift to his standing and when he was asked to do guestings in weddings and other venues, restaurants, inns needing a DJ, he did the part. He was also asked by SM for some engagements and he accepted. Also, in Mindanao where he was asked to do music for a certain affair and did for two trips.
Still, he is loyal to Insomnia where is one of the resident DJ’s there sacrificing the morning schedules given him. I didn’t know then that people go partying at around 3 in the morning until 6 am. But it is happening doesn’t it?
To some of his friends, he is fondly called, Jeff Almighty “Woop Woop”.
By the way, he was also asked to audition for the DJ Pioneer Competition and elimination process is ongoing. Today, they will be having photo shoots as part of the process and the finalist will represent the Philippines for the DJ Ultimate Pioneer Competition.
Now, that he is a father of two in his late twenties, his passion being a DJ remains
