As a mobile DJ serving the Portland area for over a quarter century, I certainly have my favorite venues. Near the top of my list is McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon… specifically Blackberry Hall.

Ever since my wife and I held our wedding reception there in 1996, I have always felt a great vibe when peforming at Edgefield and that continued on Friday, October 21, 2011 at Ashley and Brian’s reception.

The ceremony was also held in Blackberry Hall at 4pm. Afterwards, guests were encouraged to roam the property while the room was turned for the reception. During that time I arrived to set-up my sound system with a scheduled start-time of 5:30pm.

Reception Highlights:

• Grand Entrance: Chris Brown – Forever
• Cake Cutting: Plain White T’s – 1, 2, 3, 4
• First Dance: Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars
• Bride and Father Dance: John Mayer – Daughters
• Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
• Garter Toss: Justin Timberlake – Sexyback

There were quite a few guests dancing during the background music… always a good sign  and the floor filled quickly when I invited everyone out following the formal dances.  70′s Disco was especially popular with this group and of course, Michael Jackson was well-received.  ’Thriller’ spins almost every event in late October.  We finished the night with a good run of current hit music.

Big Congratulations to Ashley and Brian. Thank you for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
