I was back to the
Fearrington again for the second wedding this month, this
one for Cathy & David and it was absolutely amazing!! I was thrilled to be playing for Cathy’s
family again as I DJd her twin sister Laura’s wedding to Les 2 years ago.
They held their wedding
ceremony in the Garden Terrace and it was officiated over by David’s Best Man,
Greg. As guests arrived I had a mix of
contemporary love songs playing including some country. The wedding party entered to “Thinking Out
Loud” and Cathy to “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele. After a short ceremony with hand written vows
they recessed to “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit.
The guests made their way to the Barn for the cocktail hour &
reception and photographer
Riley Maclean got some shots.
During the cocktail hour I
played a mix of country, rock and classic soul.
The wedding party showed up towards the end of the cocktail hour and I
invited guests to find their seats. I
introduced them to “Crazy In Love” and Cathy and David entered under both their
new last names as they blended their last names into a completely new last
name. LOVE IT!!!! They had their first dance to “Die A
Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett. After
that, Cathy’s father welcomed everyone and the food stations opened. During dinner I played the same playlist.
After dinner we had toasts
and David danced with his mother to “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Sheryl Crow. Cathy and her father danced to “Who Loves
You” from Jersey Boys and invited all the guests to join them after a minute
that filled the floor. Everyone was
singing and dancing to it. What a great
start to the dancing! I invited all the
married couples to join them after that for an anniversary dance to “Fly Me To
The Moon”. The floor opened to everyone
and I kept them dancing for 3.5 hours.
We paused briefly for the
cake cutting to “Stay, Stay, Stay” by Taylor Swift and bouquet toss to “Man, I
Feel Like A Woman” then back to dancing after I played “Always Look On The
Bright Side Of Life” for Cathy’s parents Bridge (I mean British…) Club
again. We ended the night with “Time Of
My Life” from Dirty Dancing and a sparkler exit.
I was so happy and honored to
DJ for the Johnson Family again and to play for
David’s friends and family. Congratulations
Cathy & David!!
