Caitlin and Logan chose the 2014 PGA Masters location of Pinehurst Resort for their wedding
reception on August 2nd, 2014 and I was thrilled and honored to play
for this couple that met while both attended West Point and work with Michele
Soderquist from Pinehurst and photographer Cara Galati from F8 Photo Studio! The 150 guests started arriving and I had a
mix of standards playing on the patio off the back of the ballroom for the
cocktail hour. Caitlin and Logan arrived
shortly and joined guests out back.
The social hour wrapped up and guests found their seats in
the ballroom. The wedding party met in
the hallway and I went out to try to
settle them down and line them up. I
could tell this was going to be a fun and rowdy group! The wedding party danced into the room in
couples to Fergie’s “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” from The Great Gatsby
soundtrack and Caitlin and Logan came in and right to the dance floor for their
first dance to “You and Me” by Dave Matthews.
Caitlin’s father welcomed everyone and her hilarious grandfather blessed
the food after we had a few toasts. The
buffet opened shortly and I continued a standards mix through dinner. 
After dinner we had the cake cutting to “That’s Amore”,
Caitlin danced with her father to “Carolina In My Mind” and Logan escorted his
mother to the floor for their dance to “My Wish”. I then invited the single ladies to the floor
for the bouquet toss to “It’s Raining men” and garter toss to “Pour Some Sugar
On Me” that brought the energy way up and ready to rock the dance floor, which
they did! I opened the floor with Motown
and it filled quickly. Shortly I went
into some current dance music that brought young and old alike out to the
floor. They danced so hard that they
broke the dance floor!! Seriously, the floor had to be put back together. Ha
ha..
After the staff quickly fixed the floor, it was back to
dancing to some oldies, hip-hop and even some EDM. This fun group danced for nearly 4 hours
hard. The night ended with groomsmen
dancing shirtless, Caitlin’s grandfather doing “The Wobble” and everyone
joining in for their last dance, “New York, New York”, before hitting up the
candy bar on their way out. What a fun
crowd and I was honored to play for all these servicemen and women!
