Perfect Picturesque Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding

Published June 9, 2014 | By Rich Ellis

It feels like Summer has arrived early this year.

You can usually count on rain the first weekend of June in the Portland area, but for Courtney and Matt’s Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding on Saturday, June 7, 2014, the weather was a perfect sunny and 79 degrees.

This is a beautiful place in the Columbia River Gorge just past Corbett, Oregon. Following the ceremony on the other side of the lake, guests walked the nature trail to the main reception area. I was asked to begin my set with dinner music around 5:30pm.

Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding Reception Highlights:

First Dance: Nat King Cole – Unforgettable
Bride and Father Dance: Heartland – I Loved Her First
Groom and Mother Dance: Frank Sinatra – The Way You Look Tonight
Last Dance: Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’

The dance floor opened to everyone around 7pm, so there was a lot of daylight left, but this group got right into it, dancing to everything from ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ to ‘Billie Jean’ and then taking it to another level with ‘Happy’ and other current top hits.

At some point, the groomsmen couldn’t resist taking the boats out before sunset. The guests waved to them, but were having too much fun themselves, dancing to ‘Respect’, ‘September’, ‘Hey Ya’ and other classics.

After dark, the party kept rolling non-stop… over 3 hours of dancing fun.

Congratulations Courtney & Matt and thanks for choosing PRO DJs.
