McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding Hillboro Oregon

 
Kristina and Tuan’s wedding reception was held in Imbrie Meadow at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillboro, Oregon on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
 
Guests began arriving around 4:30pm. Background music was a mix of R&B, Pop, Japanese Pop, Korean Pop, Vietnamese Pop, Reggae and other upbeat music related to love as requested by the bride and groom.
 
Following the newlyweds first dance and a welcome speech, everyone was treated to a performance by the Lion Dance Crew from Portland Lee’s Association, and during dinner one of the bridesmaids sang “L-O-V-E” made famous by Nat King Cole.

After the toast and before the cake cutting, Kristina and Tuan asked to play several games and we all had a great time with the Shoe Game, a Tug of War (won by the bride’s team) and Egg Pong, the latter involving twerking by the male contestants 🙂
 
The dance floor opened to everyone around 8pm. I played a variety of hit songs with a focus on the newlyweds favorites from the last 15 years. Guests had fun dancing to “I Gotta Feeling”, “We Found Love”, “Everytime We Touch” and more.

Barn Kestrel Wedding West Linn Oregon

 
It was an absolutely perfect summer day for Shaina and Chris’ Barn Kestrel wedding on Saturday, August 13, 2022 in West Linn, Oregon.
 
The ceremony was held just outside the Queen Anne Victorian home under the tall tree that provided shade for most everyone. I setup a second sound system to provide music and microphones for the officiant and the bride and groom’s custom vows, as well as music during dinner at this same area of the property.

Whispering Waters Farm Washougal Wedding

 
Bethany and Sam’s Whispering Waters Farm Washougal wedding reception took place on Saturday, July 31, 2021 in Washougal, Washington.
 
Originally planned for the farm near the main road, the couple decided a few weeks before to move it to a location on the property right next to the Washougal River. This would require navigating a long downhill gravel road and a generator for power, but it was well worth it as this was the perfect place to celebrate a wedding.
 
Surrounded by trees that offered lots of shade to make everyone feel comfortable, a forecasted hot summer day was also tempered with cloud cover and a high of only 82 degrees. I arrived first and parked my car near the generator to block some of the noise.

The ceremony was held at a church in Portland at 1pm and guests began arriving for the reception shortly after 3pm. For background music, the bride requested music without words, so I suggested a mix of instrumental classic jazz from artists such as Miles Davis, Diana Krall, Count Basie and more.

Whispering Waters Farm Washougal Wedding Reception Highlights:

  • Grand Entrance: Natalie Cole – This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)
  • First Dance: Andrew Blake and Caitlin Simone – From This Moment
  • Cake Cutting: The Turtles – Happy Together
  • Bride/Father Dance: Bruce Springsteen – When You Need Me
  • Groom and Mother Dance: Melissa Smith – Seems Like Yesterday
  • Longest Marriage Dance: Rod Stewart – Have I Told You Lately
  • Bouquet Toss: Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
  • Last Dance: Elvis Presley – Can’t Help Falling In Love

Between and the cake cutting and father/daughter dance, Bethany and Sam played the shoe game. I enlisted the help of bridesmaid Valerie and groomsmen Ben to read the questions and give it a more personal feel. The best responses are to questions where couples disagree or they are not sure how to answer. There was a lot of double shoe raising to questions like “Who has the wackiest family” and “Who made the first move?”

It was clear that many guests were ready to expend some energy and took off dancing right away when the dance floor opened to everyone following the Longest Marriage Dance.

All guests, young and older, appeared to have a great time movin’ and shakin’ to a setlist that featured 80’s classics ‘Footloose’ and ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),’ along with recent hits, ‘Uptown Funk,’ ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’, ‘Shut Up and Dance’ and more.

As I was getting ready to leave at the end of the night, I appreciated the immediate feedback from the mother of the bride, who told me they had so much fun!

Horning’s Hideout Wedding In North Plains

 
Emily and Brad held their Horning’s Hideout wedding in North Plains, Oregon on Friday, July 30, 2021. They were actually married in August 2020 at Lost Lake in the Mt Hood National Forest, but this was the first chance to gather with friends and family to celebrate safely.
 
It was supposed to be a hot one with a 100 degree high forecasted, but the all day cloud cover kept it in the low 90’s. Still a little warm, but a great day to be outside deep in the woods. For background music, the bride requested a mix of what she described as “happy folk/romance rock.” Featured artists included Vance Joy, Caamp, Maggie Rogers, Taylor Swift and more.

Horning’s Hideout Wedding Reception Highlights:

  • Grand Entrance: Chris Brown – Yeah 3x
  • Cake Cutting: George Ezra – Paradise
  • First Dance: John Legend – Conversations in the Dark
  • Bride and Father Dance: Paul Simon – Father And Daughter
  • Groom and Mother Dance: Jack Johnson, John Cruz & Friends – Little Bit of Love
  • Longest Marriage Dance: Orleans – Still The One

Many members of the bride’s family were visiting from Kansas and before the wedding sent me a German polka song “Cafe Polka,” an old recording transferred to digital from a record or cassette. After the cake cutting, I asked guests to bring a partner to the dance floor. Emily’s uncle Roger then led everyone in a German line dance that eventually encircled the newlyweds and led to me introducing their first dance.

With nearly 200 guests in attendance and the good fun of the line dance, the floor filled quickly for the opening song requested by the bride and groom “Celebration,” and remained a load of energy for the next few hours.
