Kara & Mike - July 31, 2010

July 31st was an extraordinarily beautiful day (we've had some gorgeous weather this summer, haven't we?). And, Kara and Mike had an afternoon reception at Belle Mer, so it was nice to enjoy the scenery during the day! You'll see below the list of specialty songs was 19 - one for each couple in the bridal party plus all the standards, including 3 last dances. The groomsmen were ready early and rehearsed the intros ahead of time. They did a great job (the girls, too!).

Lake of Isles in N. Stonington Connecticut (just across from Foxwoods) was the setting for Lisa & Jerrod's wedding last Saturday. It's a gorgeous room without any help, but Lisa did an amazing job of choosing colors, flowers and lighting that really enhanced the room.

Dayle & Mike - January 21, 2012

Our first wedding of 2012 came on a snowy Saturday in January. The Roger Williams Park Casino was a beautiful setting for Dayle and Michael's wedding! The theme was "a classic, swingy, movie" feel.

First of all, using Game Show themes for the intros was an inspired idea, and I giggle every time I think of it. Come on down!

Dayle and Michael certainly had different tastes in music, she danced with her mom to a song from "The Chipmunks" and he danced with his mom to a Neil Young song! Mike is a musician, so some dance choices weren't typical, but they worked for this group. We always say it's important to consider all the guests at your wedding and the music choices that will best suit everyone.

They chose songs that were special to them, from a childhood memory of dancing with her mom, to the anniversary song for their grandparents to end the night. This thoughtful and fun couple found music that matched the feel they wanted to create for the night, and it showed through! Congratulations, Dayle & Mike!

Here are their songs:
1. PARENT ENTRANCE: THEME FROM PRICE IS RIGHT
2. BRIDAL PARTY ENTRANCE: THEME FROM A-TEAM
3. BRIDE & GROOM ENTRANCE: ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD BY NEIL YOUNG
4. BRIDE & GROOM FIRST DANCE: ROSE OF MY HEART BY JOHNNY CASH 5. MOTHER/DAUGHTER DANCE: MY MOTHER BY THE CHIPETTES
6. MOTHER/SON DANCE: FOREVER YOUNG BY AUDRA MAE AND THE FOREST RANGERS
7. CAKE CUTTING: GROW OLD WITH YOU BY ADAM SANDLER
8. LAST SONG I: HOME BY EDWARD SHARPE AND THE MAGNETIC ZEROS 9. LAST SONG II: IF I HAD MY WAY BY THE MILLS BROTHERS
