I went to Celebrations at the Bay for another great event and absolutely my favorite place to dj. Karen was our coordinator and this is the first time I worked with her. She is great to work with and I could tell she was a seasoned pro. We set up 3 systems for this event. The ceremony was held in the Ballroom. The bride walked down the aisle to the traditional “Bridal Chrous” by Wagner. The bride and groom had a tree watering ceremony where together they watered a young tree to plant. The tree is going to be surrounded with rocks signed by the guest. I thought this was a very unique and great idea. The cocktail hour was in the next room and the main reception area was in the tent. We introduced the bridal party and Tina and Bobby danced their first dance to “Come Rain or Shine” by Eric Clapton and BB King. The toast was presented by the brides sister Angela, who did a little research on James Madison since this the bride and groom met at JMU. She also told a little story about the bride and groom going to a restaurant and both opening a fortune cookie with the same fortune. It read “Happiness is right beside you”. The groom gave a great toast too and told a story of how his mom would pick up Bobby and take him to school every day so they became best friends and how Bobby always said he realized he was lucky to have a girl like Tina. The best man retorted telling Bobby that she was just as lucky to have him. After the delicious crab cake and filet mignon dinner, the bride danced with her father to “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw and the groom with his mom to “Tupelo Honey” by Van Morrison. The bride and groom had an anniversary dance after they cut the cake. The bride was literally on the dance floor the entire night as well as most of the guest. They were a great party crowd and really enjoyed themselves. The bride and groom danced their last dance to Warren Zevon’s “Please Stay”. The bride and groom are going to Jamaica for their honeymoon.
Congratulations Tina and Bobby
