Ishan & Charini - May 9, 2009

We received a call from Russell Morin Catering on Friday, saying a last-minute DJ was needed for a small wedding in Bristol. The groom thought he could handle the music for his wedding, with a small rented system and an iPod!

Realizing it would be nearly impossible to oversee the music at his reception, he called his coordinator at Morin's, Mike, to help him find a professional DJ.

It's all a wonderful story. Ishan and Charini had visited Newport on vacation from New York, and stumbled upon Bristol. When it came time to be married, they decided that Bristol was the place! They are natives of Sri Lanka, and thought their families would enjoy coming to RI for the event. A few internet searches later, they rented the beautiful Harbor Oaks on Poppasquash Road in Bristol, hired Fine Catering by Rusell Morin and Newport Tent Company, and everything else fell into place!

Music is very important to Ishan, and he had chosen all the music himself, with a variety of styles to please everyone. Oldies, 80's Rock, Latin, and some terrific Sri Lankan music. So, we hurried down to the house on Friday night, got his song list, and met everyone. On Saturday, Glenn set up the Bose system just before the ceremony started out on the dock. After dinner, Ishan was able to relax and dance to the music he worked so hard to prepare. With DJ Glenn at the controls and the Bose system cranked, the crowd danced and danced.

Living nearby, it made us so proud to think that people from all over the world come to Bristol for their weddings! We very much enjoyed meeting Ishan and Charini, their families and friends. We hope they had a fun night to remember, dancing under the stars in RI!
