The Loft at 8th Avenue Portland Wedding

 
Portland Wedding DJ Rich Ellis had the opportunity to perform at Becca and Jon’s wedding and reception on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at The Loft at 8th Avenue in Portland, Oregon. This was my first time at this venue. The ceremony began at 4:30pm in the Annex.

The Loft at 8th Avenue Wedding Ceremony Highlights:

  • Wedding Party Entrance: Shania Twain – From This Moment On
  • Bride Entrance: Keith Urban – Parallel Line
  • Bride/Groom Exit: Gryffin & Slander f/Calle Lehmann – All You Need To Know

Following the ceremony, all 250 guests moved to the Warehouse for cocktails and appetizers so the Annex could be turned for dinner and dancing. This allowed me time to also move my sound system to a more optimal spot. A live cellist provided background music during the cocktail hour.
 
Guests returned for dinner about an hour later. Once everyone was seated, the grand entrance began and I introduced the parents, wedding party and bride and groom. Background music for dinner was a mix of Tropical House and Chill EDM from artists such as Gryffin, Kygo and Illenium, as requested by the newlyweds.

The Loft at 8th Avenue Wedding Reception Highlights:

  • Grand Entrance: Gryffin & Illenium f/Daya – Feel Good
  • Cake Cutting: Thomas Rhett – Unforgettable
  • First Dance: Cinderella – Wendy’s Story
  • Groom and Mother Dance: The Band Perry – Mother Like Mine
  • Bride and Father Dance: Beatles – Blackbird
  • Boquet Toss: Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like A Woman
  • Last Dance: Aerosmith – I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing

For their first dance, Becca and Jon performed a flawless Viennese Waltz that was fun to watch and well-received.
 
I opened the dance floor to all guests with a slow dance and that had the desired effect of getting a large majority on their feet. However, that would be the last slow song for the next two hours as this mostly younger group packed the floor to mostly recent hits from the last decade.

Everyone appeared to have a lot of fun dancing to staples “Uptown Funk” and “Cha Cha Slide,” along with requests from the bride and groom for “Party In The USA,” “Wobble,” “Despacito,” “Yeah” and more.
