This past Saturday I played at the reception for Valerie & Craig Rodgers. The wedding was at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Moon Township (which is practically in my backyard). Valerie and Craig were great to work for, they had lots of great input for the music they wanted to use throughout the evening, and their guests really enjoyed dancing all night to a great selection of rock, country and oldies.
I was referred to Valerie and Craig by a great couple that I got to work with last May, Jennifer & Matthew Vaughn. I was so bummed that they couldn’t make it to the reception (I heard they were bummed too, so I’ll forgive them).
Here is the playlist from Valerie & Craig’s wedding.
