Wedding DJ Boston

On Saturday January 29th, we provided Live Piano Music & DJ/Emcee Services for a Wedding at the Inn at Stratton Mountain.

Stratton Mountain was hopping busy in the middle of ski season and this was a Wonderful Site to host a mid-Winter Wedding.

The Bride, a Professional Photographer in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania market, was especially attracted to our ability to play Piano during the Cocktail Hour & Dinner and then DJ her Dancing.

We performed hits by Billy Joel, Elton John, Coldplay and other Light Rock artists on Piano during the Cocktail Hour. We kept things more on the low-key, jazzy side during Dinner.

Later on, the party was really rocking with Hits from 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, Top 40. The Couple also requested a Hora and Polka at the last minute – which we were able to fulfill easily given our extensive experience performing at Ethnic weddings.

The Bride & Groom were especially Great Dancers and we were delighted to receive so many nice compliments from their Guests and from the Stratton Mountain Inn staff.

The Inn is home to the Vermont Culinary Resort and is one of the most popular wedding sites in the Entire State. Although November is definitely the beginning of the off-season, the Inn was jumping at 10am in the morning when we arrived.

Also unexpected was the near 60-degree weather.

For the Ceremony, we performed Solo Piano Music. The Bride & Groom were definitely Very Eclectic in their tastes and as such we performed Coldplay’s “Trouble” and Billy Joel’s “She’s Got A Way” for the Processionals. “Wouldn’t it Be Nice” by the Beach Boys was the Recessional.

The Reception took the form of a Jazz Brunch – the couple wanted a Live Jazz Duo for the Entire Reception with minimal Emceeing.

During the brunch itself, we performed a number of Sinatra, Michael Buble, and Ella Fitzgerald standards. Later on during dancing, we performed a Piano Adaptation of Incubus’ “I Miss You” for the First Dance, followed by Upbeat Swing & Rock n’ Roll Standards like “Rock Around the Clock”.

Everything ended later in the afternoon with the Last Dance: “New York, New York”, a salute to the Bride & Groom’s families who were all from the New Jersey/New York area.
