DJ Joe Bunn-Nitz/Sexton Reception-November 14th, 2009
November 16th, 2009
I set a record this past Saturday! The longest reception I have ever DJ’ed! 7 hours straight and let me tell you, they would’ve kept going if I hadn’t pulled the plug. Let me start from the top, this reception took place at Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro, NC. I introduced the huge bridal party to the Stones’ “Start Me Up” and it really set the tone for the night. After the intros, Christine and Tyler went right into “Me and You” by Kenny Chesney. Next up was a dance for Christine and her dad to “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw, and Tyler and his mom danced to “Music of my Heart” by Gloria Estefan and NSync. The cool part about the parent dances was that during both of them, slides played on a big screen of the bride and groom growing up. After the parent dances, there was about a 15 minute slideshow of some amazing photos of the bride, groom, their familes, and friends. Mr. Nitz, the father of the bride, then gave a warm welcome and blessing before the doors opened to the room with the food stations.
The guests enjoyed all types of great food and then we had some amazing toasts from several guests and family members. The cake was cut immediately following and then it was time to PARTY! The first couple of songs set the mood, and people got going soon afterwards. It was a full on dance party from then until the end. As I was wrapping up the night, Christine’s mom came up and said “Can you stay afterwards if people come back in after the glow stick departure?” I said I would, but was thinking there’s no way these folks can go another hour. Sure enough, after Tyler and Christine left, about 30 or more folks came back in and I cranked it back up! It was a hip hop old school/new school set and they loved it! I finally had to pull the plug after 7 hours…my ears were bleeding, lol. What a great reception, I loved it, and I hope that Tyler and Christine had as much fun as I did!
