I originally met them at our office back in April and hit it off right then. I even remembered that Jordan loved Darth Vader, so wore my Vader cufflinks for their wedding. When I arrived to set up, they were across the property in the Garden Terrace for the ceremony. A duet from Arioso Strings supplied the music.
After the ceremony, the 85 guests came over to the barn for the cocktail hour and reception. It was a little cool outside, so the cocktail hour was inside. Arioso Strings supplied music for most of the cocktail hour also. After they were done I put on a playlist of classical pop songs until I introduced the wedding party.
I introduced the Parents and wedding party to “Sexy And I Know It”. Amanda and Jordan were introduced to “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. They came in to loud applause and had their first dance to “Everything” by Michael Buble. Her Father welcomed everyone and the food stations opened. During dinner I had a mix of standards, classic soul and soft rock playing.
After dinner we had the toasts followed by the Parents dances. Amanda and her Father’s dance was first to a couple minutes “Brown Eyed Girl”. Jordan and his Mother’s dance was next. It started with “Shut Up and Dance” for a minute, then Sheryl Crow’s cover of “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” to finish it. It’s such a great cover and isn’t well known. We had an anniversary dance to “Something About The Way You Look Tonight” by Elton John before opening the floor to everyone. It was a fun elimination dance with the winners at 50 years married. I opened the floor to everyone with ‘Dancing In The Moonlight” and some Motown, then Top 40.
We paused for the cake cutting to “Sugar, Sugar” then back to dancing until the end of the night. We ended with “Save The Last Dance” by Michael Buble before a sparkler exit. I can’t wait to see the pics from Krystal Kast Photography!
Thank you Amanda, Jordan and Gilda. So fun!!
Always the best music at the party, DY Randy!
