If you need DJs or video for Barrington Weddings, check out Ameritune. Last weekend on August 27th, 2010 Ameritune’s Al Mitchell played at Macray Memorial Golf Club for the wedding of Libby and Justin Gullion. What a great party it was! Justin and Libby split their cocktail hour outside the room in the beautiful Macray foyer with a pianist and inside the room with my music. Of course, I wasn’t there for the first few minutes because I left my pants at home and had to go back and get them. I thought about doing the wedding in my shorts, but nahhhh, my legs are too hairy. No problem, just start the cocktail cd and drive like hell. Good thing I was really early…….. I got back in plenty of time and no one noticed that I wasn’t there. Justin and Libby went right to the cake from introductions. I’m not sure why all the halls are making us do it this way. They always say “We need to cut the cake for desert”, but then they just let it sit there for most of the dinner. Intros were I got a Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. They cut the cake to How Sweet It Is by James Taylor. Those songs don’t really go together which is why I’d prefer to do the cake cutting after the prayer and toasts….

First Dance was It’s Your Love by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. I played a healthy amount of oldies and a few country songs for this group. But mostly because there were a lot of younger people, I played lots of newer dancy stuff. They loved it and I mixed it up to keep everyone involved. There were lots of requests from the guests, and I think I played them all. Justin and Libby didn’t pick too many songs giving me the freedom to do what I do best, read the crowd. It worked. Here’s a link to a short clip of the last dance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCkxKWT7SKQ and if you’d like to see more pics visit our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=23755&id=106679629369457&saved#!/pages/Elgin/Ameritune-DJs-and-Video/106679629369457?ref=ts and if you still want more, you can read more of our blog here DJ Party Tips.
