I was really excited to play for Mary and Caleb’s wedding! When I initially met them at Morning Times, I knew we would be a great fit. Their musical taste is great and I love that about them! And, I was excited to play my first wedding at Ashley Christensen’s new Bride Club and work with one of my fav photographers, Martha Manning (Martha, Martha, Martha!! LOL)!

The ceremony was held earlier in the day at Sacred Heart Cathedral. After the ceremony, guests toured downtown Raleigh or just rested a little before heading over to The Bridge Club for the reception a couple of hours later. The cocktail hour was held on the 2nd floor and I had a mix of standards playing with some classic rock and bluegrass mixed in. The 100 guests enjoyed delicious passed hors d’oeuvres and drinks and Mary & Caleb and the wedding party joined them shortly. They were introduced into the room and joined the guests until it was time to make their way up to the 3rd floor for dinner. During dinner I had the same playlist playing.

After dinner we had the toasts and cake cutting on the 3rd floor, then I invited guests back to the 2nd floor for dancing. When everyone was back on the 2nd floor Mary and Caleb had their first dance and I opened the floor to everyone with some Motown and top 40 that filled it instantly. We paused after a little while for the parents’ dances, then back to dancing until the end of the night. We ended with “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley (one of my favorite songs ever!) and finally a sparkler exit from the first floor. Then, guests came back in to dance for another 30 minutes.

This was one of my favorite weddings and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!

Thank you again,

Bunn DJ Company believes DJing is more than just showing up and pressing play. It’s also more than just knowing how to choose songs and mix them together. Being wedding DJs at Bridge Club is about creating experiences and atmospheres. That’s what our DJing philosophy boils down to. We don’t want to just provide the perfect music. We want to create the perfect day. That’s why we excel in what we do. And this wedding was a perfect example of that. Working with this awesome couple to create the day they envisioned is something we’ll never forget. And it’s a service we provide all our weddings again and again.
