The Menzies welcombe golf club has 2 beautiful function rooms, one which used to be a cellar area which has some beautiful stone arch ways and the other which is the larger of the 2, has a stunning balcony that overlooks the grounds of the hotel. It was in this function room that we were to perform in for the evening Wedding Reception.
The Bride and Groom had a love for dance music and although they thought that many of the older guests may not appreciate the tracks that they loved they did ask for a dance set towards the end og the evening. We started out with a good selecion of music which ranged from some rock and roll, motown, disco and 80s pop. At around 10pm we got asked for a couple of old skool dance tracks so i decided to do a mini set of old skool tracks to keep that portion of the guests happy. From then on it was a mixture of new and old dance classics. All of the guests were really enjying the mixture of dance tracks including aunties and uncles. We finished started to wind down the night at around 11.30 with some sing along tracks and then ended with one more dance track.
It just goes to show that no matter how many weddings we perform at you can still be surprised by the reaction of guests to songs. The Bride and Groom was extremley happy that we were able to play all of there dance request and also add a number of tracks which they had forgotten about but still loved.
