Oregon State Alumni Tie Knot On OSU Campus

Published July 15, 2012 | By Rich Ellis

With Reser Stadium rising up in the background on a beautiful summer day, the garden of the Alumni Center at Oregon State University in Corvallis was a picturesque site for Jessica and Matt to exchange vows on Saturday, July 14, 2012.

It was a warm, sunny day and during the microphone soundcheck before the ceremony, there was no breeze. However, that changed during the ceremony as the wind suddendly started blowing. While it felt nice to cool off a little, it also presented a bit of a challenge with the officiant’s lapel microphone, especially with the wind constantly changing direction. I was able to adjust the volume though as needed and everyone could hear just fine.

Following the ceremony, guests were escorted to the foyer of the Alumni Club and enjoyed cocktails and conversation as a live trio performed. Earlier I had set-up my main sound system in the ballroom. When the doors opened, I continued where the trio left off with a mix of classic jazz and standards. Jessica wanted a French theme or bistro feel for dinner that included Pink Martini.

Wedding Reception Highlights:

Grand Entrance: Flo Rida – Good Feeling
Cake Cutting: Jack Johnson – Better Together
First Dance: Jason Aldean & Bryan Adams – Heaven
Bride and Father Dance: Michael Buble – The Way You Look Tonight
Groom and Mother Dance: Same
Dollar Dance: Bruno Mars – Count On Me
Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
Garter Toss: Tone Loc – Wild Thing
Last Dance: Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On

I had a feeling this group would get right to it on the dancefloor and they partied as advertised. From oldies to current hits, young and older guests, they loved it all… ‘Stayin’ Alive’, ‘Moves Like Jagger’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Sexy and I Know It’, ‘Call Me Maybe’ and more, the place was hoppin’.

‘Let’s Get It On’ was a great choice by the newlyweds to finish a high-energy, fun evening. Jessica and Matt, it was a pleasure. Congratulations! -Rich

“Rich did an amazing job with all the music through the night. Once the dancing started it didn’t stop until they turned the lights on us! Thank you!” -Jessica Lee
