Central Oregon Wedding DJ: Aspen Hall Bend
With a trip to Bend, Oregon already planned for July 13th, I was thrilled to hear from Lauren and Pete that they needed a Central Oregon Wedding DJ for their big day on Friday, July 12, 2013 at Aspen Hall in Bend.
They picked a great spot to hold their ceremony outside on the shore of the small fishing lake.
Lauren’s grandfather Art, a former preacher, officiated their wedding and I learned later he had also married all of his children and grandchildren, except for two more grandchildren to come after Lauren.
Central Oregon Wedding DJ Ceremony Highlights:
- Bridal Party Entrance: O’Neill Brothers, “Prelue – Falling In Love
- Bride Entrance: Canon In D (Piano and Violin Duet)
- Bride/Groom Exit: Beatles – All You Need Is Love
For the reception, I was set-up inside, but ran an extra speaker outside on the deck for the ceremony and cocktail hour before guests made their way inside for dinner, the toast, cake cutting and dancing.
Central Oregon Wedding DJ Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home
- Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
- First Dance: Keith Urban – Making Memories of Us
- Bride and Father Dance: Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World
- Groom and Mother Dance: Rod Stewart – Have I Told You Lately
- Last Dance: Al Green – Let’s Stay Together
I opened the dance floor with a must-play request from Lauren and Pete, ‘At Last’ from Etta James. Many couples joined them for the opening number and brought the energy right away to string of uptempo selections that included Michael Jackson, Black Eyed Peas and several requested Motown classics.
The latest hits also went over well with Robin Thicke f/Pharrell ‘Blurred Lines’ taking things up another notch and leading to a solid hour of fast current music before the next slow dance was played… a bride favorite, ‘Forever’ from Ben Harper.
Lauren and Pete were on the dance floor most of the night and let me know afterwards they had a great time. Congratulations and thank you for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
