Amy & Matt’s Gorge-ous Wedding In Stevenson

 
It was another beautiful Northwest Summer day for Amy and Matt’s wedding held at Gorge-ous Wedding in Stevenson, Washington at the Wind Mountain Ranch on Saturday, August 2, 2014.
 
This was my first time at this venue that just opened recently and what a great location for an outdoor event with a terrific view of the Columbia River Gorge.
 
The ceremony area features a built-in arbor next to a pond that is home to just one duck, who walked around like he owned the place. I set-up my main sound system off to the side behind the fence to provide music and sound for the wedding.

  • Wedding Processional: Pachelbel – Canon in D
  • Bride Entrance: Train – Marry Me
  • Bride/Groom Exit: Natalie Cole – This Will Be (Everlasting Love)

After the ceremony, I quickly moved my sound equipment to the reception area nearby under the tent. For background music, Amy requested a mix of soft, contemporary love songs from artists such as Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Michael Bublé and Colbie Caillat.

After the father/daughter dance, Amy asked me to immediately transition into the Rolling Stones ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’. This was a secret to her dad, but the entire family was in the know as they joined them on the dance floor.
 
With that, we got off to a rockin’ start and never looked back as I launched a set of classics to take advantage of the early momentum, including ‘Proud Mary’ for Matt’s family and ‘Jailhouse Rock’ for Amy’s grandmother.

For the next hour, I played a variety of fun songs.. everything from ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ to ‘Happy’ and then the wedding party got excited for the current hits, firing up the dance floor to ‘Party Rock Anthem,’ ‘Can’t Hold Us,’ ‘Fancy’ and more.

Post Event Satisfaction Survey:
 
“Rich was always willing and available to help. He would meet my husband and I in person, send prompt detailed emails with explanations/suggestions, and was very helpful over the phone. He took our requests and made the night amazing! We were very nervous about the DJ aspect of our wedding because we’ve heard that a DJ can either “make or break” a wedding. Well, thanks to Rich, he MADE our wedding! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing. Thank you Rich!!” -Amy Miller
