Jennifer & Whitfield chose the urban feel of The Stockroom at 230 in downtown
Raleigh with exposed beams in the ceiling, hardwood floors and painted brick
walls for their reception with fabulous wedding planner Erin McLean and beautiful floral
arrangements by Tre Bella. The ceremony was held at Fairmont Methodist
Church earlier during a tornado that made the power go out, so the guests lite
the room with cellphones. So
great!! The cocktail hour was held next
door to The Stockroom in The Mahler Fine Art Gallery.
After dinner we had the toasts by the best man and maid of
honor and the Ashley’s cake cutting to
“Better Together”. I then invited all
the married couples to the floor to share the first dance with Jennifer and
Whit. This was actually a longest
married couple dance to Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight”. After that I opened the floor with some beach
music and Motown that filled the floor with young and old. Shortly after, they had a fresh popped popcorn
station opened with flavors for the popcorn and small bags to put it in and the
dessert bar opened.
After about an hour of dancing they had a surprise “snow
dance”. I played the ballad “Lost In
This Moment” and invited everyone on the floor to dance with Jennifer and Whit
and the snow machines started flurrying inside The Stockroom. It was so awesome! I’m sure photographer Megan Kime got some fantastic shots! The night ended with a packed floor and the
last song of Angels and Airwaves “The Adventure”. The guests made a circle
around Jennifer and Whit and we started the snow machine again. What a fun reception!!!! I had a blast. Thank you Jennifer and Whitefield!
