I was thrilled to DJ for
Lindsay and James at The
Cotton Room in Durham on March 19th! They are so nice and have great taste in
music.
The ceremony was held along
the far brick wall of The Cotton Room with floor to ceiling windows. As the 90 guests arrived I had a mix of
classical versions of pop songs playing.
The Grandparents, Parents & Groomsmen entered to “Wonderful Tonight”
by Vitamin String Quartet. The
Bridesmaids entered to Feist’s “1234” covered by Vitamin String Quartet and
Lindsay & her Father to Led Zeppelin’s “Going To California”. After a short ceremony that included a
beautiful cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by a couple friends (one being
a Groomsman), they recessed to “Everyone” by Van Morrison. Their minister invited guests to the back of
the room for the cocktail hour while the staff flipped the room for dinner and
dancing. During the cocktail hour I had
a mix of classic rock & soul, standards and soft rock playing.
Pics were done by Ariana from
Silver
Feather Studios and the white linens opened revealing the room
and guests found their seats. I
introduced the wedding party to “Home” by Edward Sharpe and our new Bride &
Groom to “Heroes” by David Bowie (my favorite Bowie song). They came to the floor and had their first
dance to “These
Arms Of Mine” by Otis Redding (my favorite Otis song also). Lindsay’s father welcomed everyone and the
buffet opened. During dinner I had a mix
of classic soul playing after I played “September Song” by Sinatra for James’
Grandparents.
After dinner we had the
toasts before the parents dances.
Lindsay danced with her Father to “What A Wonderful World” and James
& his Mother to “Sweet Baby James”.
We had an anniversary dance to “Young At Heart” with James’ Grandparents
winning at 61 years married!! I opened
the floor to everyone with some Motown and top 40 and it filled by the end of
the first song. One of the best parts of
the night was James’ Grandfather laying in the middle of the dance floor and
dragged around by his feet is a circle.
So great! His Grandparents danced
a lot that night. I wish I could take
them to every wedding I do!
We paused briefly for the
donut cutting to “Sweet Pea” and then back to dancing till the end of the
night. We ended with everyone in the
room in a big circle to “Piano Man” and “Sweet Carolina” before the last song
“Cicadas & Gulls” by Feist. A
sparkler exit followed and they lived happily ever after…
