Lizzie and Jordan had me as
their wedding DJ at the amazing Durham’s
Rickhouse that backs up to the Two Doors Distilling. They have great taste inn
music and I was excited to play for them and their 150 guests!
After a beautiful the
ceremony at Duke
Chapel the guests had a little break before heading
over to The Rickhouse for the reception.
It gave photographer Hooman from Vesic
Photography and Phil & Jess from Twenty-One
Films some time to get some great shots! When the guests arrived for the cocktail hour
I had a mix of rock, classic soul, standards and alt-country playing. The room looked amazing with hung market
lights and uplighting by Get Lit.
When the wedding party arrived
I invited the guest to find their seats and went out to line the wedding party
up with help from planner Dana from C and D
Events. The
wedding party came in to “Magic” by B.O.B and each couple had their own
personal dance moves on the dance floor.
Lizzie & Jordan came in to “On Top Of The World” by Imagine Dragons
and came in to loud applause. They had
their first dance to “Swept
Away (Sentimental Version)” by The Avett Brothers and then welcomed everyone. The buffet opened and I continued the same
music mix.
After dinner we had the
toasts and parents dances. Lizzie and
her Stepfather danced to “What A Wonderful World” and Jordan and his mother to
“Find Your Wings” by Mark Harris. I
invited the married couples to the floor for an anniversary dance to “Can’t
Help Falling In Love” before opening the floor to everyone. Motown and top 40 followed with 75% of guests
hitting the floor during the first 2 songs.
They danced hard for 2 hours to top 40, classic party songs, lots of
80’s and some sing-a-longs. We paused
for the cake cutting and bouquet & garter toss, then back to dancing till
the last dance. We ended the night with
“You Make My Dreams Come True” and a sparkler exit. A couple of my favorite moments were looking out
and seeing a Grandmother having a blast to “Shout” and an impromptu conga line
to “Brown Eyed Girl”.
What a fun night and awesome
couple. Thank you Lizzie, Jordan and
Dana!!
