I knew this was going to be a
great wedding reception, and it was!
Julia had the biggest smile on her face every time I looked at her and
the wedding party (and guests) all looked like models!
Their ceremony was held
earlier in the afternoon at St Francis of Assasi church and guests roamed
around downtown Raleigh waiting for the reception to begin. The cocktail hour was held in the house and
the 160 guests enjoyed cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres that were
delicious! Great job Beau!! After the cocktail hour, the guests made
their way to the carriage house for dinner and dancing.
Before the intros, Julia
& Josh decided to cut the cake with only their parents and wedding party
watching. I lined the wedding party up
and got them ready for their entrance into the carriage house. I introduced them and Julia & Josh came
in to thunderous applause for their first dance followed by a funny welcome by
her father.
The salads and entrées came
out and I played a mix of standards during dinner. After dinner we had the toasts and parents
dances, then opened the floor with some beach music, Motown and top 40 that kept
young and old dancing for the next few hours.
We paused briefly for the bouquet toss to “Single Ladies”, garter
removal to “Pony” and toss to “Hot In Herre”, then back to dancing until the
end of the night. We ended with some
country sing a longs, “Sweet Caroline” and finally the last dance to “I Wanna
Dance With Somebody”. One of the best
moments of the night was a shirtless ring bearer running around with a
Ghostbusters proton pack on his back shooting everyone on the dance floor. That may be the cutest thing I have seen at a
wedding!
This was one of my favorite
weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!
