My beginning events as a DJ

9/15/2017

Quinceañera and her damas and chambelanes court in Greeley..

This quinceañera was one of DJ Lalo's first events.

My passion for music started at a young age. My father and my uncles were in a music group ( Los Flores de Durango), and my mothers family would listen to music all day long at the ice cream shop we used to own. When I was 12 years old, I learned to play the guitar, the bass guitar, and the saxophone, and I started to play at weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms and parties in Greeley and Denver. Playing live music is not easy and after every hour we would take a small break while the DJ would play a small set. The times when no DJ had been hired, I would play music that I had on CD's. One night, it dawned on me that I could be the official DJ at parties and I started to learn how to make transitions between songs so that the music could be continuous and people could dance all night long.

One of the first quinceañera events I performed at was at my sister's birthday. We had a lot of fun and the guests danced a lot. That was over 14 years ago, and in that time , I have learned very much about the importance of a DJ at a party and how the music selection makes a big difference in the guests' enjoyment especially at Hispanic and Latino events that have a wide range of genres such as Mexican rancheras, corridos, cumbias and norteñas, merengues, bachatas and line dances.

Now I have my own sound system and lighting and I am ready to help you the way you deserve. Every event is important to me and I will treat it as if it were for one of my family members. I can play all the best songs in English and all the classic and new songs in Spanish since I am bilingual.

I am a dj in Centennial, Colorado, close to Aurora, but I can travel to Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland, or Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. We now also offer photo booth services.

This Quinceañera met DJ Lalo Flores at the Quince Expo in Denver

This quinceañera took place at the Falls Event Center in Littleton, Colorado. DJ Lalo first met the birthday girl and her family at the Quinceañera Expo in Denver. They requested a meeting in person to make sure it would be a good fit for their needs and started planning the party.

On the day of the Quinces, before the grand introduction, they hired a Mariachi to play traditional Mexican hits from artists like Vicente Fernandez and the incomparable Jose Alfredo Jimenez. DJ Lalo was ready to start the music as soon as the mariachis played their final notes. This attention to detail is what makes him the best quinceañera dj in Denver and Colorado.

Felipe Arredondo was there to document the party with his awesome video equipment and eye for detail.

Suzy Olivas Photography captured all the special moments for the birthday girl and her family. She had printed out a gorgeous picture from a previous photo shoot from the quince and it adorned the hallway entrance.

Jessica Diaz was in charge of the choreography for the traditional waltz and also the surprise party. They did one final rehearsal before DJ Lalo introduced them and the dances turned out fantastic. DJ Lalo had made a remix for the surprise dance before hand so that they could practice their steps ahead of time. The song medley was composed of the songs Crazy in Love by Beyonce, Bailando by Enrique Iglesias La Carcacha by Selena, the Prince Royce Cover of Stand By Me and Don Omar's Danza Kuduro.

For the Father Daughter dance, they chose the song Sueña by Luis Miguel.

DJ Lalo was able to make all the announcements in introduced the court in Spanish and English since he is bilingual. DJ Lalo played a variety of songs that kept the guests entertained all night. He played a selection of songs from latino and hispanic genres such as Cumbia, Bachata, Merengue, Reggaeton, Mariachi, Norteña and top 40 songs in English to keep the diverse crowd dancing all night. He was aided by the lighting that can make any venue feel like a dance club.

If you need a bilingual latino dj that understands quinceanera parties in Colorado, hire DJ Lalo FLores. DJ Lalo is is also available to provide Quinceanera photo booths.

April showers bring... a lot of joy

5/5/2017

The saying goes that April showers bring May flowers, but on this occasion, they turned in to lots of snow and even more happiness. It was unexpected to have a snowstorm this late in the month, but that did not stop DJ LALO FLORES and the guests from traveling to the Lodge at Cathedral Pines in Colorado Springs to celebrate Aneesah and Eric’s wedding.

The snow forced the ceremony to be moved inside, but DJ LALO FLORES arrived with plenty of time to do a sound check to make sure the ceremony went off without a hitch ( I-25 south highway was closed down by CDOT 2 hours into the wedding due to several accidents and icy roads). Xiara, the day of wedding coordinator, checked in with the bride and groom, and sewed a button back on to a groomsman’s jacket. She lined up the bridal party and gave DJ LALO his cues to play the processional music. Aneesah chose a piano cover of "Your Guardian Angel" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for the bridal party processional, and an instrumental version of the the Sara Bareilles song "Gravity'' for herself to walk down the aisle. After the ceremony, Xiara the coordinator rearranged the chairs, and then moved and decorated the tables properly. She set up the table numbers and directed the guests to their seats after the cocktail hour. She made sure that the timeline was being followed and made sure that the newlyweds were relaxed and hydrated before their grand entrance. When the time came she gave DJ LALO the cue for the grand intro. DJ LALO remixed the song "Mr. Carter" by Lil Wayne and "Partition" by Beyonce’ per the request of the couple. They did a fantastic job of making an entrance and the guests loved it. After that, the buffet dinner was served. The guests enjoyed the meal and the couple went around thanking everyone. Shortly after everyone had dined, the cake was cut and the dance floor was open. The guests never left the dance floor empty and partied long into the night despite the winter storm warning.

Here is what Aneesah had to say about DJ LALO FLORES on Wedding Wire

DJ Lalo and his wife Xiara made my wedding day amazing. Music was definitely my top priority because I love to dance and think the music for the ceremony and reception are so important. Lalo was great from beginning to end. He is organized and talented. He made us a custom mashup song for our entrance and played what I requested throughout the night. The music for the ceremony was perfect. Xiara was great as a day of coordinator. She put me at ease, made me laugh, and partied with us as well. I can't wait to work with them again and I hope that I will. Super sweet and professional couple.

NEW BACKDROP FOR PHOTO BOOTH

2/24/2017

As I mentioned previously, a photo booth is a great way to enhance any party, quinceañera, prom, wedding or corporate event. When you hire DJ LALO FLORES for your photo booth needs, you get to choose between 2 backdrops; a 9'X10' white backdrop or a a 4.5'X7' silver sequin one.

The advantage of the white backdrop is that colors and props really pop out in pictures. The backdrop is not competing with the guests and makes them the main focus of the picture. Since it is larger, more people can fit in a picture ( the record is 14) and couples can also take a pictures and the backdrop will not seem too big.

The advantage of the silver backdrop is that it is great for small groups and couples. It also takes up less space in the venue. The sequins create an interesting visual that attracts guests to the booth. It looks great at galas, weddings, quinces, princess parties, 1920's themed parties and other elegant events.

Take a look at some examples below and contact me when you are ready to book:

Triple the Fun at this quinceañera

11/18/2016

HAZ CLIC PARA LEER EN ESPAÑOL

DJ Lalo Flores performed at this quinceañera that took place at the Castlewood Event Center in Englewood, Colorado. What really set it apart from other quinces, is that there were 3 birthday girls instead of one. The young ladies had a fantastic, choreographed waltz with a special remix that DJ Lalo Flores created (which you can see in the video below) . In addition, DJ Lalo Flores played 3 different songs for the father of the quinceañeras to share a special moment with each one of his daughters. Although it is traditional for the father to change the birthday girls shoes, the mother of the quinceañeras took over that duty because the dad though he would be too emotional to do it. After a delicious dinner, DJ Lalo encouraged the guests to join the dance floor. It helps that DJ Lalo is bilingual and can make announcements in English and Spanish. He played top 40 hits in English and a variety of latin dance songs in Spanish too. There were salsas, bachatas, merengues, and of course,cumbias. DJ Lalo also took requests and played mariachi songs and norteño music for the older guests who appreciate great music. Of course, everyone enjoyed classics like El Payaso de Rodeo and The Cupid Shuffle. The dance floor was full the whole night and it was three times the fun . Don't forget to hire DJ Lalo Flores for your next XV quinceanera celebration in Denver, Greeley , Fort Collins, Aurora and everywhere in between.
