Bunn DJ Company

I had the pleasure of DJ’ing another beautiful weddings at one of NC’s premiere hotels, The Umstead. They were pretty much sold out at the hotel due to graduations in the area. When I went out to set up for the outdoor ceremony, the pool was hopping. It made me want to ditch my suit and go ever and hang out…but of course I didn’t. I had a job to do!!! Ruth and Matt’s ceremony went off without a hitch. The hotel audio guy George ran the mics and I handled the music. Ruth’s processional was the Hawaiian version of “Over the Rainbow” by Brother Iz. I love that song. Her recessional was “Learning to Fly” by Tom Petty. She picked 2 great ones! After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the perfect weather on the terrace for the cocktail hour. I got prepared in the ballroom for the introductions.

The ballroom, but the way, looked amazing especially since Lyn Graves with Fresh Affairs had put his touch on it. Greens and pinks and almost flourescent colors prevailed. I loved it. I also got to work with Kevin Milz again. He is a great photographer and a really cool guy. The brides and bridal party really seem to like him and he shoots some amazing stuff. I will post some shots as soon as he emails them to me.

Anyway, the night started off with a high powered introduction and then they went right into their first dance “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison. Dinner was served after the father of the bride welcomed everyone and then we did toasts, cake, parent dances, and anniversary dance all back to back so that we could get the party started! The dance response was great and Ruth and Matt had picked a ton of great songs from almost every genre. During the garter toss, I played the University of Miami’s fight song and Ruth had on a Miami Hurricanes garter, both of which were a surprise to the groom. After that, more dancing and a great party. I had a great time and the guests left happy. Most importantly, I impressed Ruth’s sister who is engaged and now I am going to be doing her June 2009 wedding!
