I always love being a wedding
DJ at The Merrimon-Wynne
House in downtown Raleigh and was really looking
forward to Allie & Chase’s wedding on July 2nd!
The Wedding Ceremony
The wedding ceremony was held
in the side lawn and I provided a mic for their officiant. Music was covered by a quartet from Arioso
Strings. After
a short ceremony the 180 guests made their way inside the house for cocktails
and hors d’oeuvres. After the cocktail
hour the guests made their way to the carriage house where I was set up and
ready. I went in the house to line up
the wedding party with lots of help from Merrimon-Wynne’s Danielle and planner
Kathy from Sally
Oakley Events. The Introductions and First Dance
I introduced the wedding
party to “Good To Be Alive” and Allie & Chase came in to loud
applause. They had their first dance to
a country cover of “Thinking
Out Loud” by Dylan Scott followed by a welcome by her Father and
blessing by a groomsman. The Catering
Works buffet opened and I had a mix of rock and
country playing. After dinner we had
toasts and a private cake cutting inside before the parents dances back in the
carriage house.
The Dancing
Before the parents dances we
invited groomsman Kyle up for a surprise Happy Birthday sing a long that
totally embarrassed him..lol. Allie then
danced with her Father to “When You Need Me” by Bruce Springsteen and Chase and
his Mother to “A Mother’s Song” by T. Carter Music. We opened the floor to everyone with Motown
and top 40 that filled it for a short 1 ½ hour dance party. We paused for the bouquet toss to “Single
Ladies”, garter removal to “Danger Zone” and toss to “You Sexy Thing”. They went back to dancing till the end of the
night and the last dance to “You Make My Dreams Come True”. I invited the guests to the front of the
house for a sparkler exit and played the NC State fight song as they
exited. I can’t wait to see the rest of
the pics and video from Blest
Studios!
Thank you so much Allie,
Chase, Kathy and Danielle! I had an
absolute blast!!
