Nora and Lukas celebrate their wedding at Luck in a Cup, Mülheim

A beach-themed wedding in the heart of the Ruhr region.

Nora and Lukas contacted me at the end of 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, to book me for their wedding in July 2021. During a very pleasant initial phone conversation, it immediately became clear that we were on the same wavelength. I was particularly impressed by the positive mindset of these two travel enthusiasts. The wedding planning proceeded with confidence and optimism throughout and, as expected, was rewarded with a beautiful wedding!

When I entered the wedding venue for the first time, I knew immediately that Nora and Lukas had hit the nail on the head with their choice of location (Luck in a Cup in Mülheim): a venue that completely won me over with its mix of modern industrial design indoors and a summery beach vibe outdoors. It was clear to me that Luck in a Cup was the perfect place for the two of them to celebrate!

Tropical house and hip-hop on the beach dance floor

From James Arthur to tropical house to hip-hop

The couple danced their opening dance to the beautiful “Falling like the stars” by James Arthur. I had slowed this song down a little for them beforehand. For the opening of the beach dance floor, they chose “Friday” by Riton with the Nightcrawlers sample, which has been known for generations.

After that, they danced until the early hours of the morning to songs by Joel Corry, Ed Sheeran, Hugel, Alle Farben, Trettmann, and their (and my) favorite DJ, Avicii. It was an incredibly great evening with incredibly warm guests, many unforgettable moments, and, of course, a lot of sand in our shoes.

A few weeks after the wedding, I found this thank-you letter in my mailbox:

What they say

“We would book him again anytime.”

We booked Raphael for our wedding this summer and can highly recommend him to any couple. Even during the preliminary meeting, we could tell that we were totally on the same wavelength and that Rapha is extremely professional in what he does. Everything went smoothly on the day itself. The party was simply amazing and exceeded all our expectations. We’ll always remember how he came down during the last song and joined us in the sand to dance to “Nur noch einen” (Just one more). What a night!
