Libby and Richard hosted an
amazing wedding celebration at Raleigh’s Angus
Barn Pavilion for 160 guests, many visiting from China. I was honored to help them celebrate and
dance the night away on Memorial Day.
Their ceremony was held at
the pond and I provided music and mics for that. As the guests began being seated I had a mix
of classical versions of pop songs playing.
Right before the wedding party walked down the aisle I played the dance
song “Changes” by Faul & Wad. The
lyrics are perfect for a wedding. The
wedding party entered to “Canon In D” and Libby & her Father to a piano
instrumental called “Hold Your Hands”.
It is beautiful! After a short
ceremony that included their hand written vows, they recessed to “I Do” by Colbie
Caillat. Their minister Corinne released
the guests and they made their way to The Angus Barn’s new back patio for
cocktails & passed hors d’oeuvres.
During the cocktail hour I
had a mix of rock, classic soul, standards and a few Chinese ballads
playing. After pics were done by Photographer
Paul Seiler and video by Jeff
Brewer Films the guests made their way inside for the
dinner with lots of help from planner extraordinaire Sally
Oakley Events. The
room looked amazing with arrangements by Watered
Garden Florist.
I introduced just Libby &
Richard and they came in for their first dance that was a medley I made for
them. They welcomed everyone and the served
dinners of salad, prime rib & lobster came out. AMAZING!!! During dinner
the Classic
Carolina Photobooth opened and guests had a blast getting funny
pics made. During dinner I had the same
music mix playing as cocktails.
After dinner we had a few
toasts and the dessert station opened while I opened the dance floor. I started with some Motown and top 40, then
mixed shortly into some of Richard & Libby’s favorite EDM (electronic dance
music) that filled the floor! We ended
the night with a bubble exit from the front of the pavilion. Thank you Libby, Richard & Sally! I had a blast playing for you, your friends
and Chinese family!!
We used DJ Randy for our ceremony and reception. Everything turned out so great! Besides the songs we asked him to play, he also added some other common ones to make the whole night went by super smoothly. The best part was that he was so easy going and reachable. We are really glad that we picked DJ Randy to host our big day.
