Portland Wedding DJ Spins Tunes At The Nines
Over the last five years, Labor Day Weekend has become an increasingly popular time for weddings. And why not, the weather is normally great and with Monday off, Saturday or Sunday will work just fine. Erin and Edward chose to have their reception at the upscale The Nines in downtown Portland, Oregon on Sunday, September 2, 2012.
Guests arrived for cocktails in the foyer on the 6th floor around 6:30pm before being seated in the main ballroom for dinner. After introducing the wedding party and the newlyweds, I played a variety of soft background music for the dinner hour. One of the guests in attendance came up to me during dinner. I was the DJ at her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah in 2007… wow, time flies.
Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Breathe Carolina – Blackout
- Cake Cutting: Akon – I Can’t Wait
- First Dance: Alicia Keys – Un-thinkable (I’m Ready)
- Bride and Mother Dance: Jackson Browne – Somebody’s Baby
- Groom and Mother Dance: Boyz II Men – A Song For Mama
- Bouquet Toss: Tom Petty – American Girl
- Garter Toss: Justin Timberlake – Sexy Back
- Last Song: Justin Bieber – As Long As You Love Me
This group must have been really enjoying the long weekend because they were excited to dance from the opening number. We had some great energy the first few songs, but really cranked it up a notch when I played ‘The Hora’. Erin and Edward flew high in the chair raising and their parents (to their surprise) also took a ride 🙂
