Jenny & Clayton’s Wedding by Emily Chidester Photography

We’ve been a part of so many amazing weddings so far this season and we’ve only just begun! Earlier this year we got to provide DJ and photo booth service for Jenny and Clayton’s wedding – here’s a few words about their big day:

Jenny and Clayton had a beautifully quaint wedding out at the amazing Umstead Hotel in Cary, NC. Their first dance was to ‘Forces’ by Japanese Wallpaper. You can see some great photos from the very talented and fun Emily Chidester Photography below.

This couple has very diverse musical tastes! Their play list included: Avicii, Florence + The Machine, Hozier, Calle 13, Flume and Daft Punk to name a few. They also really love some motown, folk hits, lots of indie rock and top 40 dance music from today like Bruno Mars and Lil Jon.

Nicole & Neil’s Wedding at Rose Hill Plantation in Nashville, NC by Rob + Kristen

Nicole & Neil are two of the most gracious and amazing people we have had the pleasure to work with! They are also two of the busiest professionals who also happen to live in Washington D.C. so we did every bit of the planning and song selections via phone call, e-mail, phone and text. Rob + Kristen captured Neil and Nicole’s amazing wedding day in the beautiful photos shown below so make sure you take a look and give them a look if you are looking for a photographer because we cannot recommend them enough!

Nicole and Neil’s music choices were a bit of classic with a touch of country mixed with some top 40 and then sprinkle in some indy/hipster. We started off the evening during the cocktail with some great classics from Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong which really added to the atmosphere at Rose Hill Estate. For the grand entrance, they chose ‘Feel So Close’ by Calvin Harris and ‘I Believe In a Thing Called Love’ by The Darkness which are both wonderful entrance songs! Nicole and Neil chose ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ by Chris Stapleton for the super romantic first dance. After dinner, we kicked the night off with an anniversary dance then got right into their perfectly diverse playlist which included: The Contours, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Blackstreet, Spice Girls, Garth Brooks, Queen and John Legend. It was a great night with a packed dance floor!

We had so much fun working with you and being a part of your wedding. Thank you Nicole & Neil!
