Last weekend Ameritune’s Al Mitchell played for the wedding reception of Erica and Kevin Tierney at Riverside Receptions and Conference Center, in Geneva Illinois. There were around one hundred and fifteen guests and the reception was from 5:00 till 10:30 pm on Sunday 10/10/10. Wow, easy to remember your anniversary! It was a beautiful day and the ceremony was done out in the Courtyard at 4:00. Things must have been running on time because people started coming in the second floor room at 4:30. Good thing I was early, it was my pleasure to play an extra 1/2 hour of cocktail music for the guests (at no charge).
Erica and Kevin wanted to have fun, so they did a few things differently. Instead of the traditional clinking of glasses, I set up a microphone on the dance floor and if you wanted Erica and Kevin to kiss, you had to make an animal sound in the mic! People were having a good time with this, and there was a lot of kissing at the head table. They also had a photo booth, and the Ameritune Party Toy pack, which includes glow necklaces, YMCA hats, and inflatable guitars. There was a photo montage during desert and Mad Lib wedding tablets at the tables for guests to fill in the blanks during dinner. Later we did the Anniversary Countdown Dance to see who the longest married couple was on the dance floor.

Erica and Kevin danced to Lucky by Mraz/ Calliet. Later, there was a dance for Erica and her two brothers (who walked her down the aisle) and then Kevin danced with his mom. The dance floor was busy all night long. Erica helped me out with a list of Spanish music to get for her relatives and I played a bunch of all eras and styles as well. The highlight of the night was when I played YMCA and we had 3 celebrity dance leaders taking the party to the next level.

I know RJ our videographer got some great shots of that, they’re going to love their wedding video! All in all, I would say it was an awesome wedding. The folks at Riverside Receptions and Conference Center did a bang up job, too. Everything was perfect.
Uh Huh
