Crystal and Davin’s Troutdale House wedding took place on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 in Troutdale, Oregon. Since Oregon re-opened on June 30th, this was my first wedding of the summer season and it felt like a return to normal.
 
The ceremony was held in the Wisteria Garden right outside with the bride’s uncle serving as the officiant. The train tracks are less than 30 feet from this venue and we just missed a passing train that sped by afterwards.

Troutdale House Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

• Bridal Party Entrance: Bruno Mars – Marry You
• Bride Entrance: Christina Perri – A Thousand Years
• Bride/Groom Exit: Chris Brown – Forever

The reception followed inside The Troutdale House. Background music was a variety of pop and country favorites.

The dance floor at this venue is a long, narrow aisleway in front of the bar. The area filled from the opening slow dance (At Last for Davin’s grandmother celebrating her first grandson’s wedding) to a number of fast songs that followed, including selections from The Beatles, Brooks and Dunn and the Cupid Shuffle.

Congratulations Crystal and Davin! Thank you for choosing PRO DJs.

 Post Event Satisfaction Survey:   “Rich was amazing! He went above and beyond to make my wedding day amazing and help me with some last minute song selections that I couldn’t figure out and was stressing over. All of my guests had such an amazing time and absolutely loved the music selection. I would recommend Pro DJs for any and all future events.”  -Davin and Crystal Tyler

It was a smoky celebration at Samantha and Cameron’s Abbey Road Farm Wedding on Thursday, September 10, 2020 as Northwest wildfires in Oregon and Washington brought a permanent haze that made the vineyards in the background appear as a silhouette.
 

 
Abbey Road Farm Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

• Wedding Party Entrance: Jack Johnson – Better Together
• Bride Entrance: James Bay f/Alicia Keys – If I Ain’t Got You
• Bride/Groom Exit: Justin Timberlake f/Alicia Keys – Morning Light

It was cool for September, but a comfortable day with a high temperature in the upper 60’s and following the wedding ceremony, guests relaxed with a cocktail on the lawn while playing games including Cornhole and Jenga. Background music for cocktails and dinner was put together by the bride who sent me a Spotify playlist in advance. Her playlist featured a variety of artists, including Maroon 5, Luke Bryan, Bruno Mars, Thomas Rhett and more.
 

 
Abbey Road Farm Wedding Reception Highlights:

• Grand Entrance: Smash Mouth – I’m A Believer
• Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is
• First Dance: Brantley Gilbert – Whenever We’re Alone
• Bride and Father/Groom and Mother Dance: Slash – Sweet Child O’ Mine (Acoustic)
• Last Dance: Chris Stapleton – Millionaire

For the bride’s entrance music to the ceremony, the first dance and parent’s dance, Samantha asked if I could edit her selections to make them shorter. I have a sound studio and do this often.
 
The dance floor opened to everyone with a slow dance (Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud) and from there, guests enjoyed getting down to big hits “Happy” and “Hey Ya,” along with requests from the newlyweds for Hall & Oates, Michael Jackson, Macklemore and a heavy dose of 90’s pop (N Sync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Spice Girls).
 
Best wishes Samantha and Cameron! Thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
 

 
Janae and Simon’s Ridgefield wedding was held on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at the home of the groom’s father in Ridgefield, Washington.
 
With a snowless Mt. St. Helens off in the distance, the ceremony began at 4:30pm on a beautiful late August day with temperature about 73 degrees.
 

 
Ridgefield Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

• Wedding Party Entrance: Debussy Consort – Pachelbel’s Canon In D (Kanon in D)
• Bride Entrance: Kina Grannis – Can’t Help Falling In Love
• Sand Ceremony: Calum Scott & Leona Lewis – You Are the Reason
• Bride/Groom Exit: Stevie Wonder – Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)

With 75 guests in attendance, there was a lot of space to enjoy the reception, but most hung out near the swimming pool until dinner. Background music for cocktails and dinner was put together by the bride who sent me a Spotify playlist in advance. Her playlist featured a variety of artists, including The Temptations, Blake Shelton, Aretha Franklin, Zac Brown Band and more.
 

 
Ridgefield Wedding Reception Highlights:

• Grand Entrance: Otto Knows – Million Voices (Radio Edit)
• Cake Cutting: James Taylor – How Sweet It Is

• Groom and Mother Dance: Lee Brice – Boy
• Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
• Garter Toss: Nelly – Hot In Herre

The dance floor opened to everyone around 8:30pm and many danced to every song until 11. They enjoyed everything from The Beatles and Michael Jackson to Lizzo and Bruno Mars and lots of Country music.
 
With the wind howling, it got cold dropping to around 59 by 10pm, so dancing kept everyone warm. Although, the best man and groom’s brother jumped in the pool around 10:30, then made his way back to the dance floor 🙂
 
Congratulations Janae and Simon and thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
