Kathleen & Wesley were the first to book me for the popular date "10-10-10". The had their Wedding Ceremony & Reception at the Barn at Birchwood in Collegeville, PA. Although I am on the Prefered Vendor list at the Barn, I met Kathy at a Bridal Show a few years back. Kathleen & Wesley planned a small yet intimate wedding and took advantage of all the Barn at Birchwood had to offer their 80 guests. Due to heavy storm damage the week before, the Ceremony site had to be re-located from the "Grove" to the pool area. I provided music and amplification for the Ceremony, music for the outdoor Cocktail Hour, and entertainment for the Reception. I played a lot of fun tunes requested by Kathleen, including a few polish songs and some polkas, along with a nice mix of Top 40 and dance classics. Kathleen also suprised her new husband by changing into a more "comfortable" dress half way through the Reception. Here's how Kathleen & Wesley's special day went: 4:00pm - Ceremony 4:30-5:30pm - Cocktail Hour 5:20pm - Guests enter the Barn 5:40pm- Introductions of the Parents & Bridal Party "I Gotta Feeling" - Black Eyed Peas 5:44pm - Introduction of Bride & Groom 5:45pm - Kathleen & Wesley's First Dance "At Last" - Etta James 5:49pm - Blessing 5:50pm - Best Man Toast 5:56pm - Salads Served 6:15pm - Dinner Buffet 7:13pm - Cake Cutting "Sugar Sugar" - The Archies 7:16pm - Bride & Father Dance "In My Life" - The Beatles 7:20pm - Groom & Mother Dance "I am Your Child" - Barry Manilow 7:24pm - Open Dancing 8:04-8:20pm - Dollar Dance 9:25pm - Last Dance of the Evening "Unchained Melody" - Righteous Brothers 9:30pm - Reception Ends
