Last week Ameritune DJ’s, Al Mitchell played at the Turnberry Country Club for the wedding of Keeley McDonough and Justin Nauman. Another smashing Ameritune reception with lots of smiles and a bunch of people with sore feet at the end of the night. Turnberry did a nice job with hors d’oevres during cocktail hour. There was a veggie with dip and cheese/cracker tray on a table on the dance floor and there were other goodies being served butler style by the courteous and helpful wait staff. Overall food and service was excellent, including dinner, coffee, and even the cake.
Keeley and Justin wanted to spice things up a bit during dinner, so instead of clinking their glasses, the guests had to sing a song with the word “love” in it to get them to kiss. Someone even brought a list of lyrics with songs that have the word love in them.Usually this is well received, and helps get the room into party mode. Hey that’s our main job as DJs- to get people into a fun, happy, celebratory state. Once they’re in that frame of mind, everything just flows, and it’s easy to have a super party.
SInging "Stop In The Name Of Love"
Well, these folks were not shy and Keeley and Justin probably needed some chapstick because they had to kiss so much! After dinner, Keeley and Justin went from table to table greeting their guests and then it was time for their first dance. I put them in my spotlight and played Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love”. I’m a big Van Morrison fan, and that song just doesn’t get picked enough for weddings. It’s a perfect, romantic way to start the dance floor off.

This was a bit time dancing group that made lots
Jump On It
of requests. One of the big songs of the night was Jump On It by Sir Mix A Lot. They liked 80’s, country, classic rock, and slow songs. We ended up extending the room till midnight, and still people were wanting more…. I had a fun time playing for Keeley and Justins wedding, and I wish them all the luck in the world.
