Following the memorial service yesterday at Forest Lawn in Glendale, the Jackson family gathered at a private residence in Beverly Hills for an intimate reception to remember the life of Michael Jackson.

With Janet and Jermaine by his side, Randy Jackson spoke of the good memories that his brother Michael left behind. Inside the home ... numerous framed pictures of Michael were on display from various stages of his remarkable life.

X17online exclusively has learned that those in attendance enjoyed the music of DJ Spinderella who played various Michael Jackson songs throughout the afternoon including Rock With You and Off The Wall.

Guests munched on a number of dishes including fresh salmon, pasta and fried bananas. For dessert, a chocolate fondue bar had everything for dipping ... from marshmallows to fresh fruit.

Sounds like an incredible celebration of Michael Jackson's life ... certainly one deserving of the King of Pop!
