Shyla & Travis - September 20, 2009

Shyla & Travis got engaged at Cinderella's Castle, and decided to create a bit of a fairy tale themed wedding. Their reception was held at Quidnessett Country Club with pretty accents of royal blue.

We really enjoyed working with Shyla, she took a lot of time to consider the music her family and friends would like to hear. She also chose some "show tunes" for cocktail hour and dinner, which is right up my alley! We also had the chance to work with photographer Cecilia Del Viscio, we really enjoyed seeing her again!

Here are their songs and a few pics:
1. Parent Entrance: Wouldn't it be Nice by The Beach Boys
2. Bridal Party Entrance: With A Little Help from My Friends by The Beatles
3. Bride & Groom Entrance: So Happy Together by The Turtles
4. Bride & Groom First Dance: Storybook Love from Princess Bride
5. Cake Cutting: I want to Grow Old with You by Adam Sandler
6. Father/Daugter Dance: Daddy's Little Girl by Al Martino

9. Last song of the Evening: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

Carol & Eric - September 19, 2009

Well, there was never a bluer sky than at Bristol Yacht Club on September 19th! Carol and Eric got married at Colt State Park, then family and friends gathered at the Yacht Club for a lobster clambake prepared by McGrath's Clambakes. Chris from Bristol Yacht Club oversaw the day's events, and Julie from Bristol Workshops in Photography was behind the camera.

Carol did a lovely job with the blue and green colors that complimented the scene on Bristol Harbor that day. She named tables after yachts, and everyone picked up little sailboats with their names on them for place cards.

They danced to the Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffet and lots of sailing songs. After dark, we lit the dance floor with some blinking blues and greens, and candles lit the tables. A great time was had by all!

Here are their songs:
Parents Entrance: All Summer Long by The Beach Boys
Wedding Party Entrance: Fun, Fun, Fun by The Beach Boys
Bride & Groom Entrance: Wouldn't it Be Nice by The Beach Boys
First Dance: When I Said I Do by Clint Black & Lisa Hartman
Cake Cutting: How Sweet It Is by James Taylor
Song for Father/Daughter Dance: I Loved Her First by Heartland
Toss the Bouquet: Single Ladies by Beyonce
Last Dance: Save the Last Dance for Me by Michael Buble

Alison & Thayer - September 18, 2009

Ali & Thayer came to us by recommendation of another of our '09 brides, Jennie. They seemed so quiet at first. Little did we know that they actually met on the dance floor at a mutual friend's wedding! Along with their families and wonderful wedding party, they tore up the dance floor! I think we have a shot of Thayer holding Alison up in the air like in the "Dirty Dancing" finale.

They had their ceremony outside at Kirkbrae Country Club in Lincoln, where we provided sound and music. Then, everyone went into the cocktail hour area, followed by dinner and dancing in the ballroom. Kirkbrae is a wonderful place, the staff and service are terrific, lead by the affable Nicole. And, we got to work with Michelle from Fresh Focus Productions on video, and David Grenier of Hull Grenier Studios for photography.

Here are their songs:
Parent & Bridal Party Entrance: Crazy Train by Ozzy Ozbourne
Bride & Groom Entrance: Wild Thing by Ton-Loc

Kate & Casey - September 12, 2009

Catching up on September weddings! Happy October everyone!

Casey & Kate found us on Martha Stewart Weddings when they were planning their wedding in RI from Seattle, WA. We jumped at the chance to work with them when we heard their wedding was being held on the grounds of Theatre-by-the-Sea in Matunuck, RI. What a wonderful place! I worked at the theater back in the '90s, so the place is filled with wonderful memories!

Everything was held at the restaurant Bistro by the Sea, formerly the Sea Horse Grill. The Crowe family runs the restaurant, and they did an amazing job with all the logistics. And the dinner was wonderful!

The ceremony was held in a tent behind the restaurant. We provided sound for the officiant with a lavalier microphone that also picked up the vows. A remote wireless setup was used in the bar area for cocktail hour. Then, a single Bose tower provided music and sound in the dining room. After dinner, everyone headed outside to the tent for dancing, where Bose again rocked the house! A little drizzle never stopped these folks from keeping the dance floor packed to the last minute.

Here are their songs:
Parent Entrance: Bright side of the Road by Van Morrison
Bridal Party Entrance: Get the Party Started by Pink
Bride & Groom Entrance: Guitar Boogie by Freddie King
Cake Cutting: For Once in my Life by Stevie Wonder
First Dance: Come Rain or Come Shine by BB King & Eric Clapton
Father/Daughter Dance: Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison
Mother/Son Dance: that's how Strong my Love is by Otis Redding
