On Saturday June 25th, 2011 I played for Jill and Michael Carr.
The wedding ceremony was held on the beach, very romantic & tropical, at the Colony Cabana Club; with the steel drummer (provided by Eddie B & Company) playing in the back ground ushering in the bride to "Can't Falling In Love".
After the ceremony the guests made their way back to the covered area where the reception was held. (thank goodness we had covers). The rain stayed away long enough for the ceremony to be completed and introduction of the bride and groom; Mr. & Mrs. Michael Carr. While the Bride and Groom were being introduced we played David Guetta " When Love Takes Over" as they made their way to the dance floor. Our Groom showed some moves before dancing their first dance as husband and wife to Ray Lomotange "You Are The Best Thing".
After the introduction, the guests enjoyed music from Frank Sinatra " I've Got You Under My Skin"; Sade :By Your Side"; Van Morrison " Moondance"; Cee Lo "Forget You".
The bride danced with her brother to :"Because You Loved Me" and later the groom danced with his Mom to " Wind Beneath My Wings". While dancing with his Mom, the groom saw his Grandmother close by and got her to join in the dance, this was one of the highlight of the evenings.
Our Bride and Groom cut their cake to "How Sweet It Is"
Some of the songs played:
John Mayers "Who Says"
The Black Keys "Tighten Up"
Michael Jackson
Train "Marry Me" this song; I had a few guests that came up to me asking who was the person singing/ big hit.
Akon " Beautiful"
Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull "On The Floor"
Etta James "At last"
... and much more.
We ended the evening with Michael Buble "Everything"
Congratulations Michael and Jill;
Mr. & Mrs Michael Carr.
