Brittany & Binal chose the top floor of Raleigh’s Cardinal
Club for both their wedding ceremony and reception. It is a beautiful room with huge floor to
ceiling windows overlooking Raleigh. You
can see for miles from this room!
After the ceremony, guests made their way to the front room
for cocktails while the Rebecca Naderman and the Club staff got the room ready
for dinner and dancing. Brittany had a
live pianist provide music for the cocktail hour. The room was ready, pictures of the wedding
party were taken and Brittany and Binal were ready to get the reception
underway. Guests made their way back
into the North dining room and I was ready to go.
The wedding party was introduced to Michael Franti &
Spearhead’s “Say Hey” and each couple danced into the room with their own
unique move. Brittany and Binal came
into the room and stopped on the dance floor for their very, very special first
dance! I invited Brittany’s brother
Robert up and he sang and played acoustic guitar for their first dance, a cover
of Matchbox Twenty’s “Overjoyed”. He was
awesome and I will never forget what a special moment this was!
The wedding party, Brittany and Binal took their seats and
the food stations opened shortly with a potato bar, Indian bar and satay
station. I had a mix of standards
playing during dinner. After dinner, we
had toasts by the Binal’s Best man, Brittany’s parents and her brother and then
the Ambrosia Cakes cake cutting
to Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”.
I opened the floor with “My Girl” and guests started
dancing. I even included a few indian
songs for Binal’s family. The night came
to an end with “Sweet Caroline” and the floor was filled with their friends and
family singing along. What a wonderful
couple and it was great to see that they both had a HUGE grin on their face the
entire time. They are so happy together!
