Victoria and Rudy’s Dance Party Wedding at Merrimon Wynne

What a fun wedding Victoria and Rudy had at downtown Raleigh’s Merrimon Wynne House
 on January 25th, 2020!

Their ceremony was held in the carriage house and Arioso Strings covered the music for them.  After the ceremony, their officiant invited them to the house for cocktails while the staff and planners Alexia and Becca from C and D Events flipped the room for dinner.  After pics were taken by A.J. Dunlap Photography, the guests were invited back to the carriage house for the reception.  The room looked beautiful with arrangements by Bushel and Peck Designs.  I left music playing and went inside to finally meet Victoria and Rudy.

I introduced them into the reception and they came in to loud applause.  They had their first dance to “You Are The Best Thing” followed by a Father/Daughter dance to “Walk With You” by Edwin McCain. Absolutely LOVE those songs!  Her Father welcomed everyone and her Grandfather blessed the meal.  The plated salads came out and Donovan’s Dish food stations opened shortly on the pergola.  During dinner I played a mix of jazz standards.

After dinner we had the Ashley’s Cake cutting to “How Sweet It Is” by Michael Buble and opened the floor to everyone with “Dancing In The Moonlight” while the staff served the cake.  The floor stayed filled for the next 2 hours to oldies, 80’s, current top 40 and some southern rock sing a longs.

We ended the night with a huge sing a long circle to “Wagon Wheel” before a sparkler exit and guests took fresh mini donuts on the way out.  Thank you Victoria, Rudy, Sasha and Alexia!  That was a blast!!
