About Us
Mary and Matthew had a wedding back in the nineties – before digital music, ipods, mp3s and streaming music were all a big deal. Back in those days most people were still playing CDs. So when they decided they wanted the music to be selected by friends and themselves, with no outside influence by a DJ, they went about asking everyone what they wanted to hear and dance to. After collecting suggestions via email and phone calls for a few weeks, they began the arduous task of begging, borrowing and buying all the discs needed. They bought a 200 disc CD player! And in the weeks preceding the wedding, Mary manually programmed all the playlists – including one for dinner and 2 for dancing.
On the day of the wedding – as with all weddings, things took a tumble. In this case it was the CD Player – and all the CDs that were in the player fell out. Because the bride was the only one who knew the setup – she alone sat on the floor next to the player in her not quite traditional wedding dress – between the ceremony and the dinner – and placed each CD back into the appropriate slot. 30 minutes later, disaster was averted and the music began to play.
Mary and Matthew created Mixteka – because they think Brides & Grooms, or Brides & Brides, or Grooms & Grooms should have it easier. Today, technology should be able to save you tons of time and make you day less stressful – and still let you get play the music you and your friends really want to hear at your wedding. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
