Auman/Durham Reception 5/3/08
May 6th, 2008
On Saturday I went to the Chapel Hill Country Club for the first time since it burned down last year. No, I didn’t play in the middle of the rubble and ashes. They have set up a very nice permanent tent just to the side of the location where they are breaking ground for the new club. This is actually a really nice place to have a reception. After getting the wedding party lined up (which was a chore in itself since these folks were ready to start eating and drinking), I got everyone inside to the Stones’ “Start Me Up”. Julie and Nate are a young, cute couple and their first dance to “Bless the Broken Road” was sweet. They also had their parent dances right after theirs which is always a great way to start a reception. My firm belief is that if you come in and go straight into the dances 1) you don’t have to worry about it later and 2) you have everyone’s attention at that moment after being introduced into the room. Trust me, I do receptions however the client wishes, but this seems to work best to get the party started later on in the evening. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents. This party turned out great and by the end of the night, I had them all dancing. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Auman! Check out the photos below by Diane McKinney, their great photographer.
