Steven and Amanda had their reception at Heaven on Earth in Missouri City. We always enjoy going to this venue because it feels so much like home and the hospitality is awesome!
The reception started with the intro of the bride and groom with "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas and followed by a smooth transition into their first dance “Never Gonna Be Alone” by Nickelback. This is one of those songs that can bring back so many memories and feelings you can relate too, a great alternative selection. Before the formalities started the guests dined on the good-looking food from the buffet and sipped on drinks from the bar.
After dinner and the cake cutting Amanda and her father danced to the oldie but goodie” Soulful Strut” by Grover Washington. Amanda told us her and her father had danced to this song since she was young and it was very special to them. Then Steven and his mom danced to Rod Stewarts, “Forever Young”. Right after that we opened the party with the “Cupid Shuffle” and took a trip down memory lane with several old school selections. We played some crowd favorites like “Play that Funky Music“ by Wild Cherry and dropped some two step hits in with “Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy”.
One thing we especially liked about this couple is that from the first time we met them you could hear the energy and anticipation in their voices. The couple didn't even get to their finish dinner because the guests were dancing throughout the buffet and pulling the newlyweds to dancefloor with them. Loved it! They gave us full control of the party and we were able to play whatever crossed our minds. Amanda and Steven told us their guests were coming from far and wide and they wanted to party and a PARTY is what they got.
The bride and groom exited the building to ”Making Memories Of Us” by Keith Urban as they departed it sounded as if the party had picked back up outside the venue as the guest shouted their farewells to the departing couple. You would have thought there was a Super Bowl game being played as the place rumbled from the crowds cheers! Great guest, energetic couple, with the mix of our good music closed out another signature wedding.
