Christian’s parents, Janice and Chris, hired me to provide
music for this post-wedding party for 50 guests at MacGregor Downs
in Cary NC. Christian, Marina and her
daughter Abbey (who may be the cutest little girl ever) were married a month
earlier at the beautiful Homestead in Virginia.
As guests arrived to the party I had a mix of soft rock and classic soul
playing.
The social hour ended and guests took their seats for their
salads and entrée’s as I continued a mix of soft rock and classic soul that
included “Let It Go” for Abbey that totally surprised her. The toast by Christian’s brother Justin and a
thank you from Christian followed dinner.
The dessert came out and I started getting guests ready to dance the
night away.
I opened the floor with Motown and filled with around 30 of
the guests. After a few oldies and a
couple current songs, I mixed into Abbey’s request for “What Does The Fox Say”
that brought a huge grin to her face and she ran over just to say thank you to
me. So sweet! Then, right into the “tarantella” for the
Italian guests that I had to play twice for the group dance to end.
We then had a version of “The shoe game” with the newlyweds
against the “oldyweds” that had the newlyweds win by 1 point! So close.
The winners won funny baseball caps that they wore the remainder of the
night.
I opened the floor again with some 70’s disco that had
Christian’s very reserved, quiet (not) Grandmother joining a long train to
“Celebration” that went through the room and out into the hall before coming
back in. The dance floor was great all
night.
I had so much fun with this group and was thrilled with my
gift from Janice and Chris, a coffee mug that said “Italian by injection” that
couldn’t be more appropriate for me. I
drank coffee out of it the next morning.
Thank you so much Janice and Chris for having me and congratulations
Christian & Marina ..and of course sweet Abbey!
