With traffic whizzing by on a Friday evening, including excited Hood To Coast participants passing through downtown Portland on their way to Seaside, you would think an outdoor wedding ceremony at street level would be a little noisy. Well, it was a little, but the World Trade Center Courtyard is more intimate than it appears and Erika & Walter’s wedding went smoothly with a mix of pre-recorded music and two songs sung live using my cordless microphone and music tracks provided by the singer. While my mobile DJ sound system is not set-up for musical instruments, I have done this many times previously and the quality is similar to karaoke.
Wedding Ceremony Highlights:
- Bridal Party Entrance Song: Pachelbel – Canon In D
- Bride Entrance Song: Andrea Bocelli – Con Te Partiro
- Live Performance: Wendy Johnson – All My Life
- Live Performance: Wendy Johnson – True Companion
- Bride/Groom Exit Song: Mendelssohn – Wedding March
The reception was held on the Skybridge Level on the third floor of the Trade Center. With the all glass ceiling and walls, this is a great setting for any event and provides a nice view of Waterfront Park.
Wedding Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Black Eyed Peas – Let’s Get It Started
- Cocktail/Dinner Music: Variety
- Cake Cutting: Dean Martin – That’s Amore
- First Dance: Mariah Carey – My All
- Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
- Garter Toss: Queen – Another One Bites the Dust
- Last Dance: K-Ci & JoJo – All My Life (Wedding Mix)
Around 9:45pm, the dance floor was opened to all guests and everyone enjoyed a variety of favorites, including music from Michael Jackson, Usher, Billy Idol and Vanilla Ice.
Congratulations Erika and Walter. Thank you for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
