Orange Twist Grand Opening

OrangeTwist is a med spa with centers in six states, and on November 7, 2026 their Reno shop on South Virginia Street celebrated its fresh new look with A Fresh Twist, a grand reopening that started with a ribbon cutting at 2:00 PM. Amanda Baker from OrangeTwist called me on October 14 to book the music.

She wanted a smaller, upscale afternoon: under 100 guests, clients mingling with a few local vendors, and orange and white everywhere. The music had to be clean, upbeat pop with a polished feel, songs like Hot To Go! by Chappell Roan and Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, at a level where people could still talk.

The plan changed twice while we worked it out. First the ribbon cutting was going to happen without a DJ and the music would start at 3:00 PM. The next day the ribbon cutting was set for 2:00 PM and Amanda asked for light background music during it too, so the booking became 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with mics for the announcements and MC duties.

I was booked for a birthday party that same evening, so a DJ from the DJs In Reno team played the opening. He talked with Amanda about her plans, walked the space a week ahead, and set up on the walkway outside the front doors under the red awnings: his own speakers and decks on a table dressed in white, right beside the OrangeTwist welcome table and its flowers, with a coffee and mocktail trolley parked at the curb.

He was set up and playing well before the 2:00 PM ribbon cutting, in clear fall sunshine. After he packed up he texted me that everyone was pleased, and Amanda told me afterwards that everything went great.
