Alice & John’s Wedding

Published July 2, 2011 | By Rhett

Saturday, June 25, 2011. With temperatures in the mid-70’s and Sunny, you can’t ask for better Portland-area weather for a nice outdoor wedding. It was perfect.

2 months earlier I met John and Alice in person to go over their wedding. With grey skies and rain looming that day, it can be difficult to plan exactly how a perfect outdoor wedding should go. Yes, the wedding would be in June, but this is Oregon. There are no guarantees. They were crossing their fingers. I was crossing mine. It worked! The weather could not have been better. Not too hot, not cold. Sunny skies. Perfect.

The ceremony was held at a private residence in Aurora, Oregon. A large yard and deck surrounded by trees and other great landscaping. It was a beautiful setting. A young family member played the flute during the arrival of the guests and processional over our sound system. The bride, groom and bridal party looked amazing. I played custom chosen music for the bride entrance and bride and groom exit. The ceremony was great and we moved right into the reception.

Music filled the air as the guests mingled and the bride and groom took pictures elsewhere. I could see the guests bobbing their heads and moving their hips and feet to the medium-tempo music. The dancing portion of the reception had not started but we were getting there. John and Alice made their entrance along with their bridal party. They chose “Love Train” by the O’Jays – a perfect song for them and for their grand entrance.

John and Alice are absolute music lovers and connoisseurs. They love to sing Karaoke. They met at a Karaoke bar in Downtown Portland. John proposed to Alice at the same place a couple years later. After the wedding was over, they rode their limo back to the very same bar where it all started.

Music is very important to John and Alice. We’re honored to have been a part of that perfect day. Congratulations John and Alice!

“Rhett was exactly what we wanted for our wedding – professional, attentive, courteous. Planning was easy and we knew he would provide the atmosphere we wanted. He kept the party going all night, read the crowd very well and everything flowed just as we wanted, it was our dream day! Thank you!” -Alice & John Ivie
