Barn Kestrel Wedding West Linn Oregon

 
It was an absolutely perfect summer day for Shaina and Chris’ Barn Kestrel wedding on Saturday, August 13, 2022 in West Linn, Oregon.
 
The ceremony was held just outside the Queen Anne Victorian home under the tall tree that provided shade for most everyone. I setup a second sound system to provide music and microphones for the officiant and the bride and groom’s custom vows, as well as music during dinner at this same area of the property.
 

 
Barn Kestrel Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

• Wedding Party Entrance: Stringspace – Here Comes the Sun
• Bride Entrance: Stringspace – Blackbird
• Bride/Groom Exit: Beyonce – Crazy in Love

Following the ceremony, guests walked to the historic barn for cocktails and appetizers. I setup my main sound system here to also be used for dancing later that evening. Background music for the cocktail hour featured a variety of artists, including OneRepublic, Adele and Marvin Gaye.
 

 
Around 6pm, everyone returned to the front yard with scenic rural view for dinner and the toast that followed. The bride selected the background music during this time and provided me a playlist of popular selections re-imagined by Vitamin String Quartet .

• Grand Entrance: 50 Cent – In The Club
• First Dance: Justin Bieber – Purpose
• Last Dance: Elton John – Tiny Dancer

Following the toast, guests were asked to return to the barn for dancing and after the first dance, it was a wild one. The dance floor was packed right out of the gate and the energy was amazing. Older songs, recent songs, they loved it all.
 



 
I played the bride and groom’s current favorite songs back-to-back, A$AP Ferg “New Level” and Cherub’s “Doses & Mimosas”. The latter really got a reaction from the groom as his shirt eventually came off 🙂
 



 
Congratulations Shaina and Chris and thank you for choosing PRO DJs.
