This was a busy weekend for us we had several events (open houses and weddings), but they were all worth the time and effort. Thomas and Stephanie were an amazing couple and we have to say, we were really looking forward to this one. We met with and talked to Stephanie about her desires for the aura of the day and we clicked at first introduction. She told us this was gonna be a great party…and she didn’t disappoint! She let us know the agenda for the night and she emphasized that she didn't want any slow music during the reception and we were Ay okay with that!
The day started at Ouisie's Table Restaurant where we provided the orange accent lighting and audio for their gorgeous ceremony and reception. Ouisie's was the perfect setting reminiscent of houses that encouraged conversation and the restaurant itself is beautiful, with a romantic southern country club feel. The ceremony was held outside in the herb garden and the weather was kindly accommodating for a beautiful Saturday evening wedding. After the ceremony the guests proceeded into the dining area where the appetizers and drinks were flowing as we played selections from Big Band, Bossa Nova, and upbeat classics and current hits. After the bride and groom took some outdoor photos, it was time for their introduction and then, they went right into their first dance, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me” by Thompson Square. The coupled swayed beautifully around the dance floor while the flashes from the camera phones encompassed them. Next the Mariachi band came out and played for the next hour while we enjoyed a rare break and the great tasting bell pepper soup, highly recommended by Stephanie.
Once everyone got a chance to eat, the best man, father of the bride and maid of honor gave awesome toasts before the cake cutting. Once that was done, it was our turn to takeover!
We opened up with the timeless classic "Stand by Me" by Ben E King for the Anniversary Dance and right after that we kicked it into overdrive playing something of everything. They let us do our thing with the music and emceeing and we left everything out on the dance floor. As we rocked all kinds of songs and genres from the Classic 60’s through 80's, Country, Latin Music (Salsa, Tejano, Merengue, & Bachata), and then all the way to the current stuff. We closed out the night with some of our favorite party rockers, “OMG”, “Party Rock Anthem”, "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull and to top it off one of the newlyweds friends sang Christina Aguliera's verse to “Moves Like Jagger” word for word while hitting each note perfectly (Watch the video if you don't believe us). This party had it all and the dance floor stayed packed the whole night! The newlyweds posed for pictures behind the turntables and then we sent them on their way with “The Road Goes On Forever” by Robert earl Keen.
Not only was this a great party, but we also worked with some amazing vendors. Shout outs to Monica the coordinator at Ouisie's who was awesome and we can't forget our new found friends who captured all the priceless moments Taylor Lord and Sarah McKenzie! We posted a picture from the engagement session and we can't wait to show off their great work from the wedding!
