King/Grubbs Wedding Reception – Saturday April 2, 2011

Tyler and Laura were the kind of couple that smiled everywhere they went, glowed with the love that they have for each other, and made everyone happy that they came in contact with.  So when they approached me to DJ their wedding reception in August of 2010, I jumped in and couldn’t wait to see what they had planned.

As graduates from NC State University, the NCSU Alumni Club was the natural choice for their reception.  While the couple were getting hitched at First Baptist Church, Wendy Dorman, the Banquet Manager was decking the reception out in Red and White, including the cake!

The introduction of the bridal party was to “I Gotta Feeling” by The Black Eyed Peas, followed by the first dance to Train’s “Marry Me”.  Laura then danced with her Father to “I Loved Her First” by Heartland, and Tyler with his Mother to “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts.  After emotional welcome and blessing, dinner was served, followed by touching toasts by the Father of the Bride, Best Man, and Matron of Honor.

The white, multi-layered cake covered in red roses was cut to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is” and then it was my time to shine.  Not without a guest appearance from Mr. and Mrs, Wulf, the NCSU mascots.  Which only added to the dancing frenzy!  The couple gave me a few suggestions, but really left it up to me.  Starting off with a little motown and oldies, the crowd quickly moved up into some 80′s then to current hits.

Most of the crown stayed until the very end and most of them stayed on the dance floor all night long.  This was a wonderful wedding with an equally wonderful couple.  I knew when I met them over a year ago that this would be something special.  The event was recorded by Ken and his wife with Ken Tart Photography.  I will post photos when I receive a few.
