Enoy & Paul’s Wedding At Garden Vineyards

Published July 30, 2011 | By Rich Ellis

Last summer was my first opportunity to perform at this venue. The place is beautiful, but a bit of a challenge for a DJ/Emcee in that sound really travels, especially when talking on a microphone. As a result, rules are in place to limit microphone amplification. This is actually an improvement since last year I was instructed to not use my microphone at all. From announcing the cake cutting to the first dance and other formal dances, somehow I made it work and my clients were pleased with the outcome of their reception.

“Absolutely one of the best vendors we worked with during the entire process. Could not come more highly recommended or with higher praise. The definition of professionalism.” -Kalina & Jason

On Friday, July 29th, I performed at Enoy and Paul’s wedding at Garden Vineyards. It was a beautiful evening for an intimate gathering on the front lawn for their ceremony. Live music was provided by a string trio. Following the ceremony, I began playing background music for dinner, a variety of songs that included artists like Otis Redding and U2, plus favorites of the bride and groom, such as Michael Bublé and Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.

After the toast and cutting of the cake, Enoy and Paul took a break to have some photos taken as the sun was setting. They then returned for their First Dance… ‘Making Memories of Us’ from Keith Urban. The newlyweds then wanted me to dedicate the Beatles ‘In My Life’ to their guests and I invited everyone to join in on the dancefloor. We had some good energy right away and ‘I Gotta Feeling’ from the Black Eyed Peas proved to be a popular opener that led to other well received current hit music, plus some classics from Michael Jackson and the Sugarhill Gang.

Congratulations Enoy and Paul and thank you for the opportunity. -Rich
