My DJ day started before Christine and Richard’s wedding
when I DJ’d Maria Herrle’s Quinceañera at Chapel Hill’s Siena Hotel. I was thrilled to play for Maria and her
family and friends and celebrate this wonderful day with them. They danced for 3 hours to top 40 and some Latin
music. I have no idea where their energy came from. I packed up and headed to The Fearrington
Garden Terrace for Christine and Richard’s big day.
I did not provide music for the cocktail hour, that was
covered by singer/guitarist Gary
Mitchell that did a fantastic job. I
could listen to him all night cover everything from Bob Marley to The
Lumineers. It was perfect for this
group. Gary invited everyone into the
terrace for the reception and guests made their way to their tables. I was thrilled to be working with
photographer Julie
Livingston on this wedding! I only
introduced Christine and Richard and they entered to The Darkness’s “I Believe
In A Thing Called Love” and made their way right to the floor to dance to
“Flash Flood” by Randy Rogers Band.
Richard was so happy when it was over! Ha ha.. Christine then danced
with her father to “Old Time Rock and Roll” and it was fantastic. He then took the mic for a short comedy
routine, I mean, welcome that had everyone in stitches and the food stations
opened with a mediterranean station, seafood and a beef carving station. I had a mix of indie rock and country playing
per Bride and Groom’s request during dinner.
After dinner I opened the floor with some motown and oldies that
brought young and old out to the floor even though it was a little warm. We paused for a toast by Christine’s sister
Jessica and a cake cutting to “Home” by Edward Sharpe, then back to dancing
while the staff passed the cake that included gluten free cake.
They stopped again shortly for a bouquet toss to “Hit Me
With Your Best Shot” that took 2 girls out (ha ha..) and a garter toss to
Motley Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart” that took a couple guys out. The floor stayed filled to the end of the
night and their last dance “Feet Don’t Touch The Ground” by Stoney LaRue and
they made a sparkler exit with cans tied to their backs. Loved it !!
Thank you Christine and Richard and I had a blast playing
for you and your friends and families!
