With a stellar view of Mt. Hood on a perfect late Spring day, Lauren and Tad’s wedding and reception was held at Crag Rat Hut in Hood River, Oregon on Saturday, June 10, 2023. The ceremony and dancing later were held outside on the paver stone patio.
Crag Rat Hut Wedding Ceremony Highlights:
- Wedding Party Entrance: Gregory Alan Isakov – Amsterdam
- Bride Entrance: Hozier – Like Real People Do
- Bride/Groom Exit: Queen – You’re My Best Friend
Guests gathered for dinner inside the large event room on the main floor. This area has a small built-in sound system with a cordless microphone and receiver. For background music, I connected my iPad and played a variety of selections chosen by the bride and groom. The same playlist also played via my main sound system outside during this time.
Crag Rat Hut Wedding Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Father John Misty – Real Love Baby
- First Dance: Leon – Leon’s Lullaby
- Bride and Father Dance: Rascal Flatts – My Wish
- Groom and Mother Dance: Van Morrison – Days Like This
- Last Dance: 4 Non Blondes – What’s Up
There were 75 guests in attendance who were loaded with energy when the dance floor opened to everyone just before 9pm and the twilight with the mountain in the background made for a magical evening.
I played a variety of familiar hit songs including “September”, “Hey Ya” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, plus the newlyweds requests for Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy”, Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” and Rednex “Cotton Eye Joe”.
Congratulations Lauren and Tad and thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
