I was so thrilled to be Emily and Patrick’s wedding DJ on May 26th at Bay 7 in Durham NC! They are such a nice couple!!
Their ceremony was held on the main floor at the bottom of the stairs. Their officiant, Tom, had also married Emily’s other two sisters. That is so special! Arioso Strings was there to provide music and I ran Tom’s mic. After the ceremony the guests were invited to the cocktail hour on the 2ndfloor. During the cocktail hour I had a mix of rock, country, classic soul and standards playing. The staff flipped the downstairs for dinner while photographers Robin Lin and Stacy got shots of the wedding party inside and outside.
After the cocktail hour, the 160 guests made their way back downstairs to their tables with help from planner Sally Oakley. I introduced Emily and Patrick and they came down the stairs to loud applause. They had their first dance to “Then” by Brad Paisley followed by a welcome by her Father. The food stations and ZimZoom photo booth opened and I went back to music.
After dinner we had the toasts and cake cutting to “Shotgun Rider” by Tim McGraw. Emily and her Father had their dance to “I Hope You Dance” by Ronan Keating. Such a great version of this song! Patrick escorted his Mother to the floor for their dance to “My Wish”. I opened the floor to everyone with some Motown and Top 40 that soon filled it. For the next 2 hours they danced hard to 80’s, 90’s 2000’s, top 40 and some oldies.
We ended the night with a last dance to “Sweet Caroline” but I knew they weren’t ready to leave yet. Sure enough, a loud “One More Song” chant started and I dropped “Tearin’ Up My Heart” by N’Sync. I invited the guests back upstairs for the sparkler exit. Thank you so much Emily, Patrick and Sally! I had an absolute blast!!
