August Portland Yacht Club Wedding
Sofie and Justin’s Portland Yacht Club wedding took place on Thursday, August 11, 2022 on a delightful summer day. With a high temperature of only 79 degrees, the ceremony and reception were held outside across most of the patio overlooking the marina on the Columbia River.
Portland Yacht Club Wedding Ceremony Highlights:
- Wedding Party Entrance: Vitamin String Quartet – All You Need Is Love
- Bride Entrance: Duomo – Wildest Dreams (Instrumental Taylor Swift Cover)
- Bride/Groom Exit: Beatles – I Want To Hold Your Hand
The reception began immediately following the ceremony. Background music was a mix of classics from the big band era and crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Billie Holliday.
After introducing the newlyweds when they returned for the reception, they walked right to the dance floor with their guests in tow to dance “The Hora” and subsequent chair raising.
Portland Yacht Club Wedding Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Colbie Caillat – I Do
- Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
- First Dance: Harry James & Kitty Kallen – It’s Been a Long, Long Time
- Groom and Mother Dance: Jackson 5 – I’ll Be There
- Groom and Mother-In-Law Dance: Michael Bublé – When You’re Smiling
- Last Dance: Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
With approximately 60 guests in attendance, the dance floor ebbed and flowed much of the evening, but they appeared to have a good time dancing to old favorites as well as recent selections.
Congratulations Sofie and Justin and thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
Post Event Satisfaction Survey:
“Rich is just the best out there! This is the second time we have hired him and he continues to impress us with his professionalism, attention to detail and friendliness. He is able to read the crowd and make choices that work depending on what he sees. I got so many compliments on our music choices throughout our wedding day. All of our most important songs from ceremony to reception were played and they were a hit! I can’t thank Rich enough, he’s just the best!”
