Blends and Odds and Ends
The Blend has become one of BVT’s and Inspired Emotions most popular offerings. The ability to have multiple pieces moving and working together to show different aspects of a couple’s tastes and visions for their special day is quite appealing to a great many people. Here are a few that we have done…
On June 4th at Winterthur, we sent out The Christopher Bohn Gypsy Jazz Ensemble and our wonderfully diverse DJ Bob Balan for Bennett Grizzard and Barrett Thornton’s wedding reception. Christopher and Bob have worked together before and that is always helpful. Christopher’s group had two guitars, acoustic bass, and violinist Monique Canniere. They wanted gyspy jazz/swing for their cocktail hour and they got what they wanted in spades. For Bob, he had to mix obscure 70’s and 80’s rock, alternative, and new wave with dance mixes. Not an easy task for any DJ especially with an eye for keeping the folks up on the floor. Bennett said that “a really wonderful time was had by all. Thank you and your collaborators for lending their talents and all of their help. We feel very fortunate to be able to carry the memories of such a great weekend on with us. “ That’s music to our ears.
Anna Resek and Gabriel Chung chose Memorial Day weekend to get married at Aldie Mansion in Doylestown. Aldie is a venue that is perfect for The Blend. Three moving parts were on board to man this ship. For the ceremony, Beth Dzwil, one our wonderful vioinists, and John Arnold, and exceptional classical guitarist, played a prelude, ceremony, and postlude of just the most beautiful classical selections. As the happy couple and their guests left that area, they were greeted by The Larry McKenna Quartet (Larry plays sax like Stan Getz, only better) playing standards and cool jazz for the cocktail hour. For a half hour, Bob Balan spun tunes in that vein as the musicians moved into the dining area. They started again and played romantic jazz throughout dinner. Bob finished up the rest of the evening by getting the people up to dance. I checked in with Anna to see how things had gone, and she said, “Thanks Lou. The wedding went wonderfully and everyone loved the music!”
Now for some odds and ends…
Stephen STARR Events is one of our favorite companies to collaborate with. They have such unique events and allow us to really customize to fit their client’s taste. On March 12th, Scott Barnes presented one of our excellent classical musicians at the Villa Colina (a private residence owned by a renowned local banker) for a private party. Charlene Angelini played nothing but Chopin, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Brahms came to life over the four hours that she played for the hosts and guests. As you would expect, the food and the music provided the perfect ambience for an evening enjoyed by friends in a beautiful setting.
