Lisa and Nick were married at downtown Raleigh’s Melrose Knitting Mill
above Babylon Restaurant. I was thrilled to be there for the joining of their
family of 5!
The wedding ceremony was held on one side of the room. I provided a mic and music for this. The mothers entered to “Make You Feel My
Love” by Adele, the wedding party to “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran and Lisa to
“Gone, Gone, Gone” by Phillip Phillips.
After a short ceremony by Minister Bob Albritton they
recessed to “Better Together” by Jack Johnson.
The minister invited guests downstairs to the pool for cocktails while
the room was flipped.
After pics were taken by photographer
Kelsey Nelson and video by Focus
Media, the 50 guests made their way back upstairs for the reception. I introduced the wedding party to “Give Me
Everything” by Pitbull including the new family of Mr & Mrs Argueta! They had their first dance to “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed
Sheeran followed by the parents’ dances.
Minister Bob blessed the meal and Lisa & Nick thanked everyone for
coming. I started the dinner mix of soft
rock, classic soul and standards while the dinner was served.
After dinner Lisa’s father gave a very heartfelt and
poignant toast about the strength of family that made me open the floor with
“We Are Family” and “celebration” that filled it soon. Top 40, oldies, Latin and line dances kept
them dancing all night long. We paused
for the Simply Cakes cutting to “Sugar”
by Maroon 5 and bouquet & garter tosses, then back to dancing till the end
of the night. We ended with “Timber” by
Pitbull and a sparkler exit. The night
ran so smooth because of Steph with Chad Biggs
Events!
