Wednesday Wedding In Downtown Portland
With Megan and Mitchell’s Wednesday wedding at Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom in downtown Portland, Oregon, I have performed at a wedding everyday of the week this year, except Tuesday.
The ceremony began at 6pm in the main ballroom on Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Mitchell had been hoping to have Celtic music playing during the prelude, but Megan wanted something with a little more tempo, so they settled on techno violinist Lindsey Stirling and the groom made his entrance to Lindsey’s ‘My Immortal.’
Wednesday Wedding Ceremony Highlights:
- Wedding Processional/Bride Entrance: London Symphony Orchestra – Beauty and the Beast
- Bride/Groom Exit: Skies of Arcadia OST – Blue Rogues’ Theme
To allow the room to be turned for dinner and the reception, guests made their way upstairs to the balcony after the ceremony for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The newlyweds went with a ‘Masquerade Ball’ theme for their big day and everyone was given a mask to wear before returning to the ballroom for dinner and dancing.
Wednesday Wedding Reception Highlights:
- Grand Entrance: Blue Swede – Hooked On A Feeling
- Cake Cutting: American Authors – Best Day Of My Life
- First Dance: OneRepublic – If I Lose Myself (Acoustic)
- Bouquet Toss: Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe
- Garter Toss: Nelly – Hot In Herre
- Last Dance Song: Miley Cyrus – When I Look at You
After their first dance, Megan and Mitchell wanted a group photo taken of everyone wearing their masks.
I then opened the dance floor with ‘At Last’ from Etta James, which had a nice feel for the theme and many couples slow danced to this classic.
Judging by the energy and participation on the dance floor, you would never know it was a Wednesday night.
This was a big time celebration that felt like a Saturday night with the dance floor packed to classic hits ‘In The Mood,’ ‘We Are Family,’ ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ and more. Recent hits ‘Party Rock Anthem,’ ‘Happy’ and ‘I Gotta Feeling’ were also very popular.
Best Wishes Megan and Mitchell and thank you Adrianna Hill Event Coordinator, Jessie Robinson for recommending PRO DJs.
