Newberg Wedding Rocks Under Hot Tin Roof

Published August 19, 2012 | By Rich Ellis

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was the final day of a heatwave in the Portland area and we hit 97 degrees. Today we woke up to a little bit of rain and 60 degrees. This was sweet relief for those attending Valerie and Damian’s wedding and reception held at the Enomoto Barn in Newberg, Oregon on Saturday, August 18, 2012.

It seemed like only a few weeks ago that I last saw them at Chrissy and Todd’s wedding in McMinnville and that’s because it was only a few weeks ago – Click Here :). The ceremony was scheduled for 2:30pm outside on the front lawn of the main residence.

Ceremony Highlights:

Bridal Party Entrance: Matthew Lister – Storybook Love (Princess Bride)
Bride Entrance: Train – Marry Me
Bride/Groom Exit: OneRepublic – Good Life

Guests gathered on the second floor of the barn for the reception where I had a second sound system set-up. Valerie and Damian are big sports fans and wanted a grand entrance similar to the team introduction at a Portland Trailblazers game, so with the Blazers theme music, I put on my best sports announcer voice and introduced the wedding party, including the main event “and no longer single” the bride and groom.

Reception Highlights:

Grand Entrance: Alan Parsons Project – Sirius
Cake Cutting: Prime Time NFL Football Theme Song
First Dance: Ray LaMontagne – Hold You In My Arms
Bride and Father Dance: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Groom and Mother Dance: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Last Dance: Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
Exit Song: Frank Sinatra – Theme From New York, New York

Even with the cooler weather outside, a barn with a tin roof can get real toasty inside, but this group with sweat pouring and skin glistening, preservered to make a great party!
