Carrie Madarang - Operations & Creative

Artist · DJ· Wedding Officiant

Carrie is an Alameda-based creative whose life blends public service, music, ritual, and community connection. By day, she works for the City of Alameda, and by evening she supports the rhythm and heart of The Fireside Lounge. Her days are rooted in service; her nights are shaped by creativity, care, and showing up for her people.

Under the name DJ Kiwi, Carrie curates soulful, high-vibe playlists for yacht clubs, reunions, markets, and themed events, creating soundscapes that feel both intentional and inviting. She also works as a wedding officiant, crafting ceremonies that are spiritual but never stuffy, grounded in authenticity, love, and the lived stories of the couples she serves.

Carrie is a proud mom to her daughter and is known for bringing warmth, laughter, and presence wherever she goes. Whether she’s blending beats, blessing vows, or supporting her local community, Carrie shows up fully — with heart, intention, and a deep ability to make people feel instantly welcome.
