Nina & Matt’s Classic Wedding At University Club

Published August 14, 2011 | By Rich Ellis

The University Club in downtown Portland was the setting for Nina and Matt’s wedding reception on Saturday, August 13, 2011. The ceremony took place not too far away at St. James Lutheran Church at 5pm. Guests then arrived at the club and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the main level before coming upstairs for dinner in the main ballroom.

Reception Highlights:

Grand Entrance: Michael Franti & Spearhead – Say Hey (I Love You)
Dinner Music: Instrumental Jazz
Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
First Dance: Michael Bublé – Everything
Bride and Father Dance: Joe Cocker – You Are So Beautiful
Groom and Mother Dance: Kenny Chesney – Never Wanted Nothing More
Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
Last Dance of Evening: Michael Bublé – Save The Last Dance For Me

I have had the pleasure of being the DJ at some fun celebrations this summer, but from the opening bell, this group was especially fired up and brought a ton of energy immediately to the dance floor. From classics like ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Shout’ to current favorites ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Party Rock Anthem’, it seemed like everyone, regardless of age, danced to every song. The bride and groom had listed quite a few slow songs on their request list, which proved to be a little bit of a challenge with this high-octane group, but I managed to play most of them, including ‘Unforgettable’, ‘What A Wonderful World’ and ‘Wonderful Tonight’.

Nina and Matt, it was a pleasure. I really enjoyed your guests. Thank you to Nina’s mom Shirley for the opportunity to be a part of this occasion. -Rich
