Portland Mobile DJ Rocks Sunday Wedding

Published November 7, 2011 | By Rich Ellis

It was a rare Sunday wedding in November at the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon for Molly and Aaron.

I provided music for both the ceremony held in the Library and the reception which took place just down the hall in the Billiard Room. The Library was quiet when I returned for a soundcheck to find part of my DJ table being used as a changing station. That was a first for me, but the baby was super cute, so she was off the hook 🙂

The bride chose several classical pieces for the processional and the ceremony featured a stirring rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s ‘Con Te Partiro’ sung live by the bride’s cousin Ken.

Wedding Highlights:

Ceremony

Bridal Party Entrance: Air on the G String (Bach)
Bride Entrance: Canon in D (Pachelbel)
Bride/Groom Exit: Natalie Cole – This Will Be

Reception

Grand Entrance: Nat King Cole – L-O-V-E
Cake Cutting: Archies – Sugar Sugar
First Dance: Billy Joel – She’s Got A Way
Bride and Uncle Dance: Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World
Groom and Grandmother Dance: Bette Midler – Wind Beneath My Wings
Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
Garter Toss: Tone Loc – Wild Thing
Last Dance: Elvis Presley – Can’t Help Falling In Love

Sunday afternoon was no obstacle to a good time as guests packed the dance floor to ‘Hava Nagila’ to get things started and kept the party going to big hits ‘I Gotta Feeling’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Stayin’ Alive’ and more.

Thank you Barbara (Bride’s Mom) for the opportunity and Congratulations Molly and Aaron! -Rich
