Christine and Jeff chose the beautiful Prestonwood Country Club grand ballroom for
their reception and I couldn’t be happier to play for this Match.com couple. They are so nice and funny! I knew this was going to be a good one, and
it was! I was thrilled also to be
working with photographer Brian
Mullins and videographer Phil from Twenty-One
Films. The room filled with the 175
guests after the cocktail hour and I had a mix of standards playing as they
found their tables with floral arrangements by Watered Garden. The bridal party entered from the side door
to “Timber” and Christine and Jeff were ready for their intro. The came out from the top of the stairs and I
had looped the beginning of Black Eyed Peas “The Time (Dirty Bit)” until they
got to the dance floor, then I took the loop off so they could start their
synchronized dance that shortly included their wedding party for a minute or
so. It was awesome and really took the
energy through the roof. They then had
their second dance as husband and wife to “Wanted” by Hunter Hayes as they sang
it to each other like they were the only 2 in the room. So sweet!
They took their seats and Christine’s father welcomed everyone and her
mother’s fiancé provided the blessing.
Dinner service started and I continued a standards mix with some special
song requests by her father that I happily took care of.
After dinner we had a few toasts and the cake cutting to
“(This Will Be) An Everlasting Love” at the top of the stairs. They made their way back down the stairs and
Christine joined her father for their dance to “The Way You Look Tonight” by
Tony Bennett that may have brought a small tear to my eye. Jeff then escorted his mother to the floor
for their dance to “Wind Beneath My Wings”.
I invited all the married couples to join them for the next dance with
was a “longest married couple dance” to “Unchained Melody”. The winning couple was over 50 years and
received Jessica’s bouquet as a gift. I
passed out colored sunglasses and glow sticks and opened the floor with some
Motown and current that filled the floor with young and old and lots of neon
colors. We stopped shortly for the
garter toss to “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and guests surrounded them singing
it. Jeff going to West Virginia may have
helped with that. I then went into “Wagon
Wheel” and everyone continued singing and dancing along. Back to some current dance music with some 90’s
mixed in kept everyone dancing til the end, even the guy who split his pants
dancing..lol.
The night came to an end with their last dance of “Don’t Stop
Believin’” and guests made their way to the front of the Country Club for their
sparkler exit. Thank you so much
Christine and Jeff and it was an absolute pleasure to be your DJ!All photo's courtesy of Brian Mullins Photography
