the crowd doing their thing
On September 5, I was personally hired to do a wedding for Jennifer and Josh at the Belmont Country Club in Ashburn Virginia. Although the company has performed there dozens of times over the years, this was the first time for me at this gorgeous venue. The grounds were spectacular, the interior was beautiful, and the catering staff was courteous and very efficient.
The happy couple: Jen and Josh
You could tell immediately that Josh and Jen were very much in love and ready to have a good time.
For dinner, we played a combination of big band standards from the Great American Songbook, Blues and some soft Latin tunes.
After the traditional dances, we kicked off the party with a “Longevity Dance” eliminating the couples who have been together the least number of years. Ultimately, we found a couple (Joshua’s grandparents) who have been happily married for 62 years. When I asked the husband for the secret to a long marriage: he jokingly said “ remember the magic words, yes dear! “
Then we got the general dancing started with some hip hop, Salsa and Merengue and then a Conga Line.
Good Luck Conga Line
There seemed to be great energy throughout night. I received many requests for current top 40 hits, oldies, and Latin tunes.
By the way, I met an excellent photographer,Peter Keissel, who took the photos posted to this blog. He has a great eye and his prices are extremely reasonable. http://www.pmkphoto.com
Eveyone had a great time, including me.
