Salem Wedding DJ Performs At Grand Ballroom
Hilary and Brian were married and celebrated their reception at the Grand Ballroom in downtown Salem, Oregon on Sunday, May 18, 2013.
Salem Wedding DJ Ceremony Highlights:
- Parents/Family Entrance: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons – Winter, Movement #2
- Bridal Party Entrance: Bach – Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
- Bride Entrance: Jason Mraz – I Won’t Give Up (Instrumental Piano Version)
- Bride/Groom Exit: Coldplay – Strawberry Swing
The ceremony took place in the main ballroom, which also served as the dance floor later on. Cocktails were served and guests dined in a large adjacent to the ballroom. I had to turn up the music in the ballroom so it could be heard at background level in the dining area, but once the dancing started, it provided a nice refuge for some guests when they took a break.
Salem Wedding DJ Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling
- Cake Cutting: Hall and Oates – You Make My Dreams
- First Dance: Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars
- Bride and Father Dance: Sting – Fields of Gold
- Groom and Mother Dance: Beatles – In My Life
- Last Dance: Michael Bublé – The Way You Look Tonight
Guests danced to a little bit of everything from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and the newlyweds requested songs from Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Queen, Will Smith and more. Sunday afternoon really got going though when I spun the big hits from the last few years… ‘Party Rock Anthem’, ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Gangham Style’, plus the hot track of the moment from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ‘Can’t Hold Us Down.’
Hilary and Brian chose to finish their reception with Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ and most of their guests joined them in a circle for a group dance.
Big thanks to the bride’s brother Philip for referring PRO DJs (we performed at his wedding in July 2010) and best wishes to Hilary and Brian.
