Friday night GGC Productions had the pleasure of DJing the wedding reception for Christine Rollins and Erik Case at Wild Rose Hall, one of my favorite venues in South Austin. I like its small, intimate feeling. It's perfect for wedding receptions for up to 150 guests, although it can handle more.
The outdoor ceremony started around 7:15, which was handled by a local string quartet. Sorry, I did not get their name. It should be a rule that all outdoor ceremonies in Texas from June 1st to August 31 be performed after 7:00. I've seen outdoor ceremonies done at 2:30 in the afternoon and believe me, the guests do not appreciate sweating. Especially, if the groomsmen are in full tuxes.
After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails while the bridal party took pictures. This was a good opportunity to use the Bose L1 Compact which was setup outside, but connected to the main DJ setup.
Dinner was served at 8:30. This is the first wedding I have done where the food (fajitas) were served family style.
Next, we did the Bride and Groom's First Dance - "Videotape" by Radiohead
Father/Bride Dance - "The Shadow of Your Smile" by Tony Bennet
Mother/Groom Dance - "Europa" by Santana.
After toasts and cake cutting, the dancefloor was open to song selection by the Bride and Groom.
