I met Jenn & Eric last year when they attended Doug
& Kristi’s wedding that I also DJd.
They had so much fun they knew I would be the perfect fit for their
wedding at Bay 7
in Durham on May 28th.
Their ceremony was held on the first floor of Bay 7 at the
bottom of the stairs. As the 160 guests
arrived I had a mix of classical pop songs playing. The Parents entered to “Over The Rainbow” and
Groomsmen to “Home” both by The Piano Guys.
The Bridesmaids entered to a piano version of “A Thousand Years” and
Jenn & her Father to “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele. During the ceremony officiated by their
friend Andrew, they had a reading and a beautiful vocal performance of Ingrid
Michaelson’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by their friend Karla. She was so great! After the ceremony they
recessed to “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by The Piano Guys.
The cocktail hour was held upstairs on the second floor and
during it I had a mix of soft rock, classic soul and standards playing. Guests enjoyed drinks, the vegetable &
cheese station and passed hors d’oeuvres. Photographer Cole Gorman from Blest Studios got some great shots of
the wedding party during the cocktail hour.
After the cocktail hour I invited guests to their seats and
went upstairs to say hi to the new Bride & Groom. I introduced just them to “Here Comes The
Sun” and they came in for their first dance to the classic soul song “Make Me
Yours” by Bettye Swann. Jenn’s &
Eric’s Fathers welcomed everyone and the food stations opened. During dinner I played the same music mix.
After dinner we had the toasts and parents dances. Jenn danced with her Father to “Days Like
This” by Van Morrison and Eric and his Mother to “Carolina In My Mind”. The dessert station opened and I opened the
floor with some Motown & Top 40 that filled it very shortly. For the next 2 hours the floor stayed packed
to oldies, Top 40 and some 90’s & 2000’s hip-hop & dance music.
We ended the night with ”Dance With Me Tonight” by Olly Murs
and guests made their way next door for an after party at Tyler’s Taproom. What a fun night and great group to play
for. Thank you Jenn & Eric and it
was great to see Kristi & Doug again!
