Jessica and Ben were married at Water Works, the historic riverside venue set along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, with views of Boathouse Row and the city skyline. Originally built in the early 19th century as a water pumping station, the venue keeps its historic architecture while giving couples a genuinely grand backdrop, floor to ceiling windows, outdoor terraces, and a sunset over the river that shows up in nearly every photo from the day. It was a gorgeous wedding, and DJ Taiga was behind the decks for it.
Jessica and Ben’s taste in music doesn’t sit in one lane. Elton John, EDM, Ed Sheeran, and trap all made it onto their radar, a genuinely wide range for one dance floor. Building a set around a mix like that, without it feeling disjointed, is exactly the kind of thing a professional DJ is built for rather than a fixed playlist.
