Portland Wedding Reception At Kennedy School

 
Brittany and Kelly’s Portland wedding reception was held on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, Oregon.
 
With a 10am start, a former school building may have been the perfect venue for a weekday reception and nearly 30 years as a DJ, I think I have now performed at a wedding every day of the week.
 
About 50 guests made up of family and close friends attended. The newlyweds wanted the feel of the post World War II era and requested 1940’s/early 1950’s selections for background music. Artists included the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
 

 
Portland Wedding Reception Highlights:

• Grand Entrance: Dean Martin – Ain’t That A Kick In the Head
• Cake Cutting: John Legend – All of Me
• First Dance: Death Cab for Cutie – Follow You Into The Dark
• Bride and Father Dance: Temptations – My Girl
• Groom and Mother Dance: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over The Rainbow
• Bridal Party Dance: Will Smith – Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It
• Last Dance: Percy Sledge – When A Man Loves A Woman

1pm on a Tuesday doesn’t normally scream party, but don’t tell these people. The dance floor almost felt like a Saturday night as nearly all 50 guests turned out for the opening slow dance, ‘At Last’ and then got down to ‘Hey Ya,’ ‘Gettin’ Jiggy With It,’ ‘YMCA’ and more.
 




 
Congratulations Brittany and Kelly and thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
