Maria and Mersed's ceremony and reception took place mid-afternoon at Heaven On Earth. This was a very unique wedding as the bride was of latin descent and the groom had just came over a couple of weeks before from Bosnia, Europe. This was our second wedding for the weekend and the guests started arriving right around two. Nilda guided them into the chapel and after the vows were said and the ceremony came to a close and the bride and groom exited in style. Need we mention for the second day in a row it was raining and all of a sudden it stopped long enough for the couple to enter on a horse and carriage. Cinematic!
Uncharacteristically, we'd like to admit for the first time we were kind of worried about the outcome of this Sunday wedding. We knew that alot of the guests were going to want Latin music and believe us, we are no Latin DJ and MC's, but thanks to the many nights spent trying to perfect the latin dances we learned at the local salsa socials in town we were familiar with several songs that encompassed the genre. We told the bride and groom this from the start, but they assured us that everything was going to be alright! Okay, here we go! So, we downloaded alot of the newer Latin stuff on the charts now and then pulled out some of the older material. We were as ready as we could be. The cake was cut and a special toast was given by Maria's little brother and he did a great job.
After that we opened the dance floor. Let us make note the guests amounted to about 50 people total, but they sure knew how to hold the dance floor down for us, especially the women! The bottom line is that it rocked. We played everything from “Suavemente” by Elvis Crespo to “Oye Como Va” by Celia Cruz along with some Prince Royce and Aventura to slow things down a bit. We also touched on some line dances, mariachi and more. We ended the night with a song by Abba, "Fernando" which we dedicated to Maria's father who had passed. It was a great night with alot of international music. We played latin music 90% of the night and are still here to write the blog about it! We are so glad they chose us for their entertainment. It was a challenge, but we think we pulled it off! Check out the pictures below by our buddy Randy Bradley. It's always great working with him and the rest of the staff at Heaven On Earth.
