I was thrilled to DJ Alexandria
& Michael’s wedding reception at The Fearrington Village! As much as it
tried, hurricane Matthew couldn’t damper the spirits of the 200 guests.
The ceremony was held in the
Garden Terrace with live music by Arioso Strings and officiated over by Reverend
Barbara Lodge. After the ceremony the
guests made their way to the tent for the cocktail hour.
After the cocktail hour the
guests made their way to the Fearrington Barn for dinner and dancing. I have seriously never seen the room look
more beautiful with white flowers everywhere, a custom white dance floor with
their initial in the middle and a 12 piece swing band, The Casablanca Orchestra,
playing on the stage to welcome the guests.
After everyone was in the room I introduced Allie & Michael and they
came right to the floor for their first dance.
Allie’s mother welcomed everyone and Michael’s grandfather blessed the
meal. The salads and entrees came out
and the Orchestra played during dinner.
After dinner we had the
toasts and cake cutting followed by the parents dances. I opened the floor after that and it packed
instantly. I mean, it was packed and
stayed that way for the next 3 hours!
There wasn’t a time when the floor was even a little slow.
We ended the night with “Take
Me Home Tonight” and a sparkler exit from the front of the barn.
This was one of my favorite
weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!
Great post and photos, Randy. I always love working with you and I know you totally rocked that barn for Allie and Michael.
