Tara & Ryan’s Wedding Reception was so much fun at the Croasdaile Country Club in Durham! The ceremony was beautiful, especially when the bride came down the aisle to “Time” by Enya. After the declaration, the bridal party and guests left the ceremony to “Beautiful Day” by U2. During cocktail hour, the bridal party had their own private dance party in the reception room, and then they went to their private room while the guests got seated. The toasts and then the first dance followed the introductions. After dinner and Tara and Ryan danced with Dad and Mom, the dance floor erupted. We kept the guests and bridal party going until it was time to cut the cake. Everyone enjoyed the cake then got back to the dance floor. We finished up the night with the bride and her girls singing “Time Of My Life” and “Summer Nights”. What a great night with fun families.

The Couture For A Cause fashion show for ME3 was awesome! There was a huge turnout, and we got to spotlight several great local charities as well as local designers. The models had a blast showing off the dresses on the runway. I had a lot of fun engaging the crowd while auctioning off the dresses. I think we exceeded everyone’s expectations and we raised a lot for ME3 and their partner charities. News 14 Carolina was there to cover the event as well. Can’t wait until next year!

Laura & Jason’s reception at the Brownstone in Raleigh was the best! We kicked things into action right away; following the introductions, the newlyweds danced to “That’s All” by Mel Torme, Laura and Dad danced to “My Girl” and Jason and Mom Danced to “What A Wonderful World”. The Brownstone crew did a great job of keeping things moving through the meal, then we toasted. First the father of the bride shared some kind words, and then the grooms’ two brothers roasted the groom. Immediately following the toasts, the dance floor lit on fire! We had to shoo them off so we could go cut the cake! So many old school favorites, even had the “soul train” line going for a minute. We finished the night of with “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison and the crowd went to the front door to send off the new couple with sparklers and cheers.

Michael and Britney’s’ reception was so much fun! It was held at the clubhouse in Wessex in Cary. The reception started off with the wedding party introductions and dinner, then the brides little brother sang for their first dance. Britney and Dad had some fun dancing to their song, “My Girl” by the Temptations. Michael and Mom danced to “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts, and then we cleared the dance floor for the cake cutting. After the fake exit everyone came back inside and lit up the dance floor. We kept the party going all night. Wild music selection, Britney and a guest did the Thriller dance; we played a lot of favorites, but ended up with a few Metallica songs, that the bride requested! The photographer, Jamie Lackey, did a fabulous job and caught a lot of great moments. What a great night!

The Annual Cary Chamber of Commerce member appreciation party is always so much fun. Howard, Delancy and the rest of the chamber crew always know how to throw a great party! We got a few people to loosen up and dance for a bit, then we gave away a whole host of awesome door prizes. It is hard to give away such good stuff! Can’t wait until next year’s party!

Everyone had a large time at the Ale House in Wake Forest last Saturday. Wehave added the second Saturday of every month, and it didn’t disappoint! Thedance floor got started early and stayed packed all night. Petey Pablo came byand hung out with us ‘til close! We played all the hits from “Hotel RoomService” to the old school favorite “Don’t Stop Beleivin’”. What an awesomecrowd! Can’t wait to see what Halloween night will bring!
