The ceremony was held upstairs with live musicians. After a short service, the 150 guests made their way downstairs to the pool area for a cocktail hour. While photographer Danielle from Blissmore got some shots of the wedding party, I set up and got ready for introductions.
After pics were done, the guests made their way back upstairs and found their seats. The tables looked beautiful with floral arrangements by Watered Garden. I introduced the wedding party and Lindsay and Stephen to “You Make My Dreams Come True”. They came to the dance floor in front of me and had their first dance to “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne.They took their seats and we had the parents dances. Lindsay and her Father danced to “Tupelo Honey” by Van Morrison. One of my fav songs and albums! Stephen escorted his Mother to the floor for their dance to “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life”. Her Father welcomed everyone and Pastor Mark blessed the meal.
The salads and entrees came out soon and during dinner I had a mix of standards and soft rock playing. After dinner we had the toasts and cake cutting to “Build Me Up Buttercup” and guests started dancing to it. So, some Motown and top 40 soon filled the floor for the next 2 hours.
We ended the night with “Wagon Wheel” and “Sweet Caroline”. I invited guests downstairs
for a sparkler exit. As soon as everyone was gone except Danielle, Me, Blake from Melrose, Lindsay and Stephen, I played one more last private dance song just for them. “Speechless” by Dan + Shay had us all in tears. I LOVE a private dance at the end of the wedding!!
Thank you Lindsay, Stephen and Blake! That was such a beautiful and fun wedding!!
