DJ Joe Bunn-Chatlani/Pause Reception-December 5th, 2009
December 8th, 2009
Vaneesha and Logan had an awesome reception Saturday at Chapel Hill’s famous Carolina Inn. The Old Well Room was the setting, what an amazing room. The black and white giant tiles on the floor make the room unforgettable. The ceremony took place outside, not great weather, but a great ceremony. Once they came inside, the guests were treated to cocktails and music choices from the bride and groom such as John Mayer, Coldplay, Ray Lamontagne and other acoustic artists. Also in the cocktail area was a photo booth from Shutterbooth. Neal is always great to work with. After getting the guests into the ballroom, I lined up the bridal party and introduced them to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. An awesome way to start the night! Then Vaneesha and Logan went right into their first dance “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray Lamontagne. One of my all time favorite songs, period.
After their dance, we went right into a nice seated dinner with soup, salad and entree. Dinner closed out with some great toasts and the cake cutting (a small cake on top for the bride and groom to cut, but cupcakes from The Cupcake Shoppe for the guests!). Next Vaneesha danced with her dad to “Over the Rainbow” by Brother Iz and Logan danced with his mom to “In My Life” by The Beatles. Next up-open dancing! This couple gave me no playlist! They said “do what you do”. I loved it and I started out with oldies, but quickly moved into the 70’s and 80’s and then top 40. I will have to say, this crowd was AWESOME and the bride and groom LOVED to dance. This reception was a great way to finish out the year. Thanks to the new Mr. and Mrs. Pause. I am looking forward to some photos from Kellie Kano. She’s always great to work with and what a photographer!
