Mr. and Mrs. Burwell

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating with family and friends the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Burwell at the North American Motor Lodge in Philadelphia. Pa.

What a wonderful day. We started with a mixture of Jazz, interlaced with some gospel.

Our bridal party was introduced and our bride and groom danced to one of my favorite songs by the Whispers called "I'm going to make you my wife".

After Dinner and a few formal dances, we danced to more of the Whispers - "Rock Steady" and the Temptataions - "Treat Her Like A Lady".

My favorite part of the evening, was when I noticed an older lady dancing with her cane. She was jamming!

We had a great time, and the food was good as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry

Wedding at JC Melrose Country Club in Cheltenham, Pa.Wedding at JC Melrose Country Club in Cheltenham, PA.

First, a big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Henry. It was a pleasure to serve you. I truly had lots of fun. Another, thank you to Mr. and Mrs Melly, whose wedding reception I performed in December 2006 at Celebrations in Bensalem, Pa., where the Henry's and I first met.

The evening started with soft classical music, which complimented the elegant decor of the country club. As we approached dinner, we transitioned to some Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Sammie Davis Jr., and Dean Martin, I spiced it up with a little Nina Simone, Nat King Cole and Bobby Darin. The guests were talkative, so I switched to jazz to allow easier conversation.

Our Bridal Party entered to Kool and the Gang's - "Celebration", then our Bride and Groom danced to "At Last" by Etta James. Dancing began before dinner was over. (I'm not surprised) Who can resist the sentimental music of the 50s. "In The Still Of the Night", "Sixteen Candles", and "Lavender Blue", just to name a few. Well, the dancing didn't stop. As we approached the end of the evening, the Bride and Groom danced their last song to "I've had the time of my life" by Bill and Jennifer Warnes from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. After just a few more selections and requests, I closed the evening with Eric Clapton's - "Wonderful Tonight". The Bride and Groom made special requests that the guests loved, and I can not take credit for playing, they were: Monty Python's - "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life", "The City Is At War" by Cobra Starship and "Minnie The Moocher" by Cab Calloway.

Service at the Country Club was very good and the staff was a joy to work with. A member of the catering staff assisted me with my equipment by carrying it up and down the stairs. The management was attentive in every way.
