Midweek Wedding At Bridal Veil Lakes

Published August 2, 2012 | By Rich Ellis

It was a gorgeous day in the Columbia River Gorge for Sarah and Chris’ wedding on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Bridal Veil Lakes is visually stunning and a great place to get away from the noise of the city without really getting away, as it is only 30 miles east of Portland.

The ceremony was held on the opposite side of the lake. Guests arrived to the sound of the running creek nearby combined with a mix of acoustic music I provided.

Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

Bridal Party Entrance: Patti Griffin – Heavenly Day
Bride Entrance: Train – Marry Me
Bride/Groom Exit: Patti Griffin – Heavenly Day

Following the ceremony, the guests walked the scenic route around the lake to the main reception area. This gave me a chance to move my sound system for the reception and dancing.

Wedding Reception Highlights:

Grand Entrance: U2 – Beautiful Day
Cake Cutting: Jack Johnson – Better Together
First Dance: John Legend – Stay With You
Groom and Mother Dance: Lynyrd Skynyrd – Simple Man
Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies
Garter Toss: Michael Jackson – The Way You Make Me Feel
Last Song: Semisonic – Closing Time

Anytime is a good time for a party and this group proved it in bringing lots of energy to the dance floor. Current Top 40 hits went over best and Sarah’s request for the ‘Cupid Shuffle’ made everyone forget it was a Wednesday night 🙂
