I was thrilled to play for
Kristi and Doug’s wedding at the Washington-Duke Inn! They are such a nice couple and are so happy
being with each other! 
Their ceremony was held at
Duke Chapel which was also the location of their first date. After the ceremony the 120 guests made their
way to Washington-Duke Inn for the cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. During the cocktail hour I had a mix of
classic soul and standards playing. The
doors to the ballroom opened towards the end of the hour and guests found their
tables that were decorated with floral arrangements by Floral Dimensions. The wedding party was each announced from
their seats and Kristi and Doug made their grand entrance from the hallway
where they came in and had their first dance followed by a welcome by Doug’s
father and blessing by Father Kaesel.
During dinner I continued a classic soul and standards playlist.
After dinner we had a couple
toasts and a thank you from Doug, then I opened the floor with some Motown that
filled it for the next 2 ½ hours. We
paused briefly for the cake cutting, then right back to dancing until the end
of the night. During dancing I played oldies, top 40, some 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s
hits and ended with some sing-a-longs.
This was one of my favorite
weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!
