When you picture being a
wedding DJ at a southern plantation house, this is exactly what comes to
mind! Kelly & Zach hosted 150 guests
to their beautiful wedding in Fuquay Varina at Highgrove
Estate on July 1st.
Their ceremony was held in
the back of the house and overlooks a picturesque lake and woods. They had a live violinist provide music for
this part. She was wonderful! After a short ceremony, the guests made their
way to the back terrace for cocktails while photographer
Libby McGowan got some amazing pictures. During the cocktail hour I had a mix of soft
rock & country playing. After the
cocktail hour the doors to the ballroom opened and I invited guests to find
their seats. The room looked beautiful
with floral arrangements by Fallons
Flowers.
I introduced the wedding
party to “Give Me Everything” by Pitbull and Kelly & Zach to “Who’s With
Me” by Flo Rida. They came in to
thunderous applause and had their first dance to “She’s
Got A Way” by Billy Joel.
Kelly’s Father welcomed everyone and her Godmother blessed the
meal. The family style dinner came out
and more rock & country music were played.
After dinner we had the
toasts and cake cutting to “How Sweet It Is”.
Kelly joined her Father on the floor for their dance to “Blue Skies” by
Willie Nelson and Zach & his Mother to “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Before I opened the floor to everyone we had
an anniversary dance to “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra. I opened the floor with some beach music and
top 40 that filled it by the end of the first song. We paused for the bouquet toss to “Dear Future
Husband” and garter toss to “The Thong Song”, then back to dancing to some
hip-hop until the end of the night. We
ended with “Don’t Stop Believin’” and finally “Take Me Home Tonight” before the
sparkler exit from the front of the house.
What a fun wedding and great
group to play for! Thank you Kelly &
Zach and congratulations!
