DJ Joe Bunn-Shah/Shah Reception-November 28th, 2009
November 30th, 2009
No, that’s not a typo above. This was the wedding of Parag and Shivani Shah (not related obviously). They are a great couple and had their ceremony and reception this past Saturday at Brier Creek Country Club. Kristie Taylor and the crew there do a fantastic job every weekend! I missed the ceremony, but was told it was a very traditional and beautiful Indian ceremony. I saw the guys loading out the rentals, and they looked amazing. Afterwards, the guests were ushered out of the main room to Palmer’s Cove where they enjoyed food and drinks for a couple of hours while the room was turned over. As they came back into the room, I was playing a cd that Parag’s mother gave me, Ravi Shankar. It was perfect for the setting! The tables were set with lovely floating orchids and beautiful wrapped gifts as favors. I went into the hall, went over the names one more time and got ready for the intros. They went great and I don’t think I butchered anyone’s name…bonus! Next came a welcome from the father of the groom, a hilarious slideshow roast by the sister of the groom (Mona) and brother of the bride (TJ). After that we did the cake cutting, their first dance, and a thank you from the father of the bride…all of this before dinner! The dinner was an amazing Indian cuisine buffet that everyone seemed to enjoy. As dinner ended, it was time for me to work my magic. I will have to say that Parag saved me on this gig. He provided me with 4 CDs with awesome Ballywood and Hindi music on them! I listened to them the week before so I was able to check their speed and figure out the other “secular” songs they would mix with. And you know what? I pulled it off! This crowd came to party and they had a ball, in fact, so did I! Challenging, but so worth it. Thanks Vinny (Parag) and Shivani!
