You could have heard a pin drop….everyone in the room focused on Katie and Clay’s first dance together as husband and wife. It’s a rare occurrence at wedding receptions when you think about it…as most times people are too engrossed in their conversation, the day’s decor or in their drink they are consuming. Not Katie and Clay’s guests. Why? Why were they more focused than guests at a typical wedding happening anywhere else across America this Saturday night? Look for a future blog post covering this exact reason.Katie and Clay chose the Danforth Place as their venue and I must say Ron, Kirsten, Kristy, Mitch and the staff did an outstanding job in all facets last night. Guests arrived and were able to enjoy the candy buffet
even before dinner. Candy buffets are a new trend in weddings currently and can be a nice highlight. It was fun to see guests at the end of the night try to toss candies into each other’s mouths in their somewhat intoxicated state. :) Dinner went off without a hitch and guests were invited to the buffet line via songs, which is a fun way to do it and creates the anticipation of who is going next. After dinner, we presented Katie and Clay’s Love Story followed by their good friend Steve’s rendition of “Faithfully” by Journey for their first dance as husband and wife.
After that was the heart tugging songs “In My Daughter’s Eyes” by Martina McBride for the Mother/Daughter dance and “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts for the Mother/Son dance with special edits provided by yours truly with memories provided by Katie and Patti and Linda and Clay. Moments like that are so precious and wonderful to watch.
Dancing got underway and I must say it was great to see 5 different past couples of Taylored Weddings there as guests to celebrate with Katie and Clay. Thanks to Kim and Tim, Alison and Brad, Tara and Scott, Megan and Adam, Stephanie and Jason, and future clients Bridget and Nick. The party took a little bit to take off but once it was going everyone stayed and danced until midnight to music from Lady Gaga, Journey, Michael Jackson, Florida, and Nickelback…just to name a few. Thank you SO MUCH Katie and Clay for having me serve as your Wedding Entertainment Director on your wedding day.
