Weddings with DJ Adam Moyer: September 2011

Lindsey & Brandon's New York Wedding at The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel

My first of three weddings for the weekend started off in Poughkeepsie, New York. Lindsey and Brandon currently live in West Chester, PA, but decided to exchange their vows where they first met at Marist College. After a ceremony at the College Chapel, Lindsey, Brandon and their 172 guests traveled across town to the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel to celebrate. Upon arrival, the guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeurves in the lounge area, and then made their way to the Regency Ballroom for the Reception. After formal introductions and Lindsey & Brandon's first dance, there was a blessing and a few toasts. The dinner was served in "extended" courses, which gave time for a few dance sets in the beginning of the evening. Teresa Horgan Photography captured all the special moments.

Lauren & Drew's Wedding Day at Riverdale Manor

My fifth trip to Lancaster County this year lead me to Historic Riverdale Manor for Lauren & Drew's Wedding Ceremony and Reception. Due to the massive hurricane (Irene) that swept through the area a few weeks prior, the Ceremony was held outside under the pavilion instead of the grove next to the Conestoga River. I provided music and amplification for their ceremony, as well as wireless microphones. Following the ceremony, Lauren, Drew and their Bridal Party posed for a few photos around the grounds, and then joined their guests on the patio for the remainder of the cocktail hour. The guests then entered the Ballroom, awaiting the formal introductions of the Bridal Party. After Lauren & Drew's grand entrance, they shared their first dance. Before dinner was served there was a blessing and a toast by Lauren's Maid of Honor and Drew's Best Man. Following dinner, Lauren surprised Drew by singing to him..... she sang Adle's "Make You Feel My Love". Brooke Courtney Photography took care of capturing all the special moments as well as providing their Smilebooth. Check out some great photos on their blog.

Ashley & Trevor's Wedding Reception at The Inn at Reading

On Saturday, September 10th.... one of the most popular wedding dates in 2011, I had the pleasure of being a part of Ashley and Trevor's wedding reception at The Inn at Reading in Wyomissing, PA. The ballroom looked very sharp with the color combination of black and white on through out the table linens and chair covers. Ashley & Trevor tied the knot at a nearby church, and then traveled to the Inn to celebrate with family & friends. The guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while Ashley, Trevor and their Bridal Party posed for photos outside. After formal introductions, a blessing, and a few toasts from the Bridal Party, dinner was served. Before the "party" started, Ashley & Trevor cut their wedding cake, and then Ashley and her Father, and Trevor and his Mother shared a special dance together. Later on in the evening the Bouquet and Garter toss took place, as well as a traditional dollar dance, where guests had the opportunity to share a quick dance with the Bride & Groom.
