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.

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.

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 🙂
