The cocktail hour was held in the hallway and I had a mix of
classic soul, rock and standards playing.
The 160 guests made their way into the ballroom after pictures were
taken by photographer Mary McLean.
Kathy from Sally Oakley Events did an
awesome job getting everyone to their tables.
I introduced the wedding party to “Shape Of You” and Fon and Colin to
“Something Just Like This”. They came to
the floor for one of the most special moments I have ever seen at a
wedding! Fon’s Bridesmaid Lalita sang “Thinking Out Loud”
while they had their first dance. It was
just beautiful and was one of the highlights of the reception for me.
After that the wedding party took their seats ad Colin
welcomed everyone. His Father and Sister
came up and did a mock “Newlywed Game” with them. Ummm, I think they got 1
answer right. But, it was a lot of fun
and you can tell they adore each other!
Maggie Silton blessed the meal and the appetizers and salads came out
before the buffet opened. During dinner
I had a mix of love songs playing.
After dinner they showed a video of the wedding in Thailand
and then had the toasts and Nantucket
Grill cake cutting to “Latch” by Disclosure. I LOVE that song! I opened the floor with some Motown but when
I mixed into top 40 the floor filled and stayed that way for the next 2
hours. I played a lot of top 40 / dance
music and some 80’s for the older guests. The last half hour was a Fon karaoke
party where she was singing along with every song into the mic and passing it
around. So great!! I ended the night
with “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Sweet Caroline”.
But, they weren’t ready to leave yet, so I played “In The Ayer” by Flo
Rida before inviting guests to Spanky’s for the after party.
What a fun night and amazing crowd to play for! Thank you Fon, Colin, Betsy and Kathy and
congratulations!
