First 2014 Wedding Timberline Lodge Oregon

 
The Northwest Winter has been a dry one and the snowpack is low, but it made travel to Kathryn and Cesar’s wedding Timberline Lodge a snap for everyone attending.
 

 
It was a beautiful day and guests who arrived from as far away as Peru were treated to a special evening at one of Oregon’s most iconic locales in the Raven’s Nest.
 
Wedding Timberline Lodge Ceremony Highlights:

• Wedding Processional: Seating of the Mothers (Schubert – Ava Maria) Wedding Party (Mozart – Laudate Dominum)
• Bride Entrance: Bach – Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
• Bride/Groom Exit: Handel – Horn Pipe

 
Following the wedding, everyone went downstairs for cocktails near the famous lodge fireplace. During this time, the Raven’s Nest was flipped for the reception and dinner and I moved my sound system to where the ceremony had taken place which also served as the dance floor.
 

 
Wedding Timberline Lodge Reception Highlights:

• First Dance: Aventura – Solo Por Un Beso Letra
• Father/Bride & Mother/Groom Dance: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Music for dancing featured a wide variety of genres, including Oldies, Top 40, Country and Latin.
 

 
Kathryn let me know early on that her guests liked to dance and they had a great time movin’ to the hits… everything from The Beatles to Earth, Wind & Fire, Marc Anthony to Daddy Yankee. For the guests visiting from Peru, I learned one of the biggest American classic hits in their country is the Pointer Sisters ‘I’m So Excited’.
 

 
Post Event Satisfaction Survey:
 
“When I hired Rich, I was looking for a DJ with a great reputation, who would get the job done. I had no idea what type of music I wanted, and gave Rich very little direction. Rich turned out to be the best choice for my wedding, and went beyond expectations to make the wedding a blast. Our guests came from four different continents, with different music preferences, and Rich was able to find the perfect mix of international songs that kept people dancing until the last song. I have never seen a wedding where so many people stayed and danced until the very end. Rich has preternatural ability to read a crowd and keep them dancing. He did an amazing job, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great party.”  -Kathryn Leen & Cesar Oviedo
