Coleman/Dixon Reception-3/14/09
March 15th, 2009
This past weekend’s wedding was a big one! Adrian and Shoshannah had their beautiful reception at Prestonwood with a great team led by Cara Zuehlke with A Southern Soiree Cara and Shoshannah planned an amazing event and I am glad I was part of it! Everything from the room (nice job Fresh Affairs) to the cake were perfect. Their reception started with a big introduction of the bridal party and then the bride and groom coming from down the grand staircase. They went right into their first dance, a fast one, I loved it, “Signed Sealed Delivered” by Stevie Wonder. After a welcome from the mother of the bride and a blessing, dinner began. The staff at Prestonwood hustled the dinners out to almost 300 guests and did a fantastic job as usual. As soon as dinner was wrapping up, the best man and maid of honor gave toasts. One of the highlights of the evening was when the best man did a version of “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” but changed the words to pertain to Adrian (who is a revered by the way, so the words definitely needed to be changed)! It was hilarious! After the cake cutting to “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, Shoshannah danced with her father and Adrian danced with his mom. These songs were actually played live by their friends and family. Both were oustanding! After that…time for me to do my thing. As soon as the first open dance song came on, people started moving towards the dance floor. We had a great crowd on there for almost 2 full hours and wrapped with my closer “Shout” and sent the newlyweds off with a sparkler shower! Great reception! I am looking forward to getting some pictures soon from the photographer Sarah Seay.
