Gin & Perry’s Party Wedding at Belt Line Station in Durham, NC

Gin & Perry had the most amazing, blow-out, party wedding of their dreams at Belt Line Station!  This was one wild and fun wedding and we got to supply the playlist for a very memorable night.  Please check out the amazing work by Ariel Kaitlin Photography below.

To start their cocktail hour and set the tone, Gin & Perry wanted some 80’s music, blues and some great rock classics. We brought them into their reception to 24K Magic by Bruno Mars and it just about brought the venue down!  Gin & Perry chose ‘Let’s Stay Together’ by Al Green for their first dance as a married couple. The dinner playlist was a really fun playlist of James Taylor, Leon Bridges, Ray LaMontagne, Lauryn Hill, Michael Buble and more. When dinner was just about finished, Gin & Perry played The Shoe Game to throw even more fun into the night.  We opened up the dance floor after toasts and it was packed immediately and stayed that way all night long.  This was a really, really fun wedding and Gin & Perry had a lot of fun planning their day and we had a great time working with them.
