We met Kristi and Ryan a little less than two years back at one of Heaven on Earth's Open Houses that we participated in. They attended the open house with their parents and you can tell that both families were really adamant about having not good, but great entertainment for their reception. We also found out that both parents were big ballroom dancers and they wanted to incorporate plenty of west coast swing, jive, and more. They booked on the spot and we went to work with our in-depth research of ballroom music.
Krisiti and Ryan went all out with there wedding and rented the whole grounds of Heaven On Earth and after the ceremony they hosted their cocktail hour in the San Francisco Room where they guests were able to mix and mingle while sipping on the fabulous cocktails while the newlyweds took pictures. Shortly after we prepared the bridal party for the introductions and the guests proceeded into the main reception room. After all the guests entered we started the introductions to "Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti. Right after the introductions the newlyweds proceeded into their choreographed waltz to "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson. This is the second week in a row that we have played one of Ingrid's songs for a couples first dance, if you haven't listened to her album check it out. Directly after Kristi danced with her father to "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw and Ryan danced with his mother to Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like A Rock". After all the great dances the buffet line was open and the guests couldn't wait to show their moves on dance floor and started dancing as soon as the formal dances ended.
We had some great toast and the newlyweds cut their cake and we officially opened the dancefloor and was jammed packed from corner to corner the whole night. We got incorporate many ballroom dances songs, 80s, and new era top 40. One of the many highlights of the night was when played "No Diggity" specially requested by the bride for her mother and her mom mouthed every word to the song. We had a great time and the night ended with the couples last dance to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO while the guest crowded around them and shuffled with the couple till to the last note of the song.
We should be finished with video soon and the pictures are from Randy Bradley of Original Images.
