On Saturday, February 11th we provided Live Ceremony & Cocktail Hour Music along with DJ/Emcee Services for a Wedding in Portland, Maine.
The Ceremony was held at the First Parish Unitarian Church near City Hall in downtown Portland. We provided Live Organ Music for the Wedding Ceremony Processionals “Trumpet Voluntary” & “Canon in D”. In the middle of the service, during the Lighting of the Unity Candle, the Bride & Groom had us play John Lennon’s “Grow Old With Me” on the church’s Beautiful Grand Piano. We returned to the Organ at the end of the service for the “Wedding March”.
The Cocktail Hour & Dinner/Dancing Reception were held at The Portland Club.
The Club has a number of Grand Pianos on the premises. We provided Live Piano Music for the Cocktail Hour with a number of Jazz Tunes and Billy Joel/Elton John Music.
The Reception featured some light dinner music. The Bride & Groom are fans of Reggae and had us play some Sublime & Bob Marley tunes during this time along with classics from Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Norah Jones.
The Upbeat Dancing Music was more of the Classic Variety. The crowd loved 60s, 70s, and 80’s hits.
