Saturday, May 16, 2015—Lighthouse, Chelsea Piers, New York—Coppola/King Wedding

The Coppolas and the Kings gathered together for an evening of non-stop music at the celebration of the joining of their two families at Pier 61 of Chelsea Piers of the West Side Highway in New York. This lovely wedding, held in a historic location filled with old New York atmosphere, included a cocktail hour followed by a European-style wedding with hours of dancing after dinner! Our musicians played and sang non-stop, beginning with the couple’s first dance song, “You’re All I Need To Get By” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Father and daughter then danced to “Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World,” a combination of two great favorites by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. The mother/son dance took place to “Moon River” by Andy Williams, while the rest of the guests enjoyed grooving to “Mack the Knife” by Bobby Darin. Hooray for old New York and its fantastic musical history! Around Town Entertainment was pleased to be a part of this wedding that was a quintessential New York gala. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Saturday, May 16, 2015—Woodway Beach Club, Stamford, CT—Ryan/Mengel Wedding

The beautiful Woodway Country Club was the site of the Ryan and Mengel wedding in Stamford, Connecticut. In keeping with the sophisticated and trendy style of this wedding, the event was held at the world-famous Beach Club building overlooking beautiful Long Island Sound. The After Party Band from Around Town Entertainment was chosen as the CT wedding entertainment. The guests enjoyed cocktails in an outside tent, while the reception was held in the building itself. The couple’s first dance was to “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele, while father and daughter danced to “What is Life” by George Harrison. Mother and son danced to “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys, and the couple cut their wedding cake while the band performed “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray La Montagne. Finally, the bride tossed the bouquet to the tune of “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. What a magical night under the stars for everyone! Congratulations to the new couple on their lovely
wedding.

While June is traditionally the “bridal month,” many couples are marrying in May to avoid the seasonal rush and still enjoy the beautiful weather that abounds this time of year. Around Town Entertainment has been busy with weddings through the beginning of May, each of which represented a different style and all of which were absolutely stunning!

Saturday, May 2, 2015—Klein/Kelly Wedding in Jersey City, NJ—Around Town Band

The month of May kicked off with the Klein/Kelly wedding in Jersey City at the Hyatt Regency. The bridal couple chose “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke for their party’s entrance song, with “I Gotta Feelin” by the Black Eyed Peas for the couple’s entrance. Despite the uptown beat of their entrance, the new couple’s first dance was performed to “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” a beautiful and traditional slow ballad originally performed by Elvis Presley. Father and daughter danced to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while mother and son danced to “When I Need You.” The entire party grooved through the evening to great music including “Everything in Between,” a song especially written by the bride for the groom! Other great musical selections included “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon, “The Club Can’t Even Handle Me Right Now,” by Flo Rida, and “Fly Me To the Moon” by Frank Sinatra. Everyone had a great time and danced the night away to fantastic music!

an incredible fusion of jazz and other elements to this sophisticated gathering. The bridal party entered to “Raise Your Glass” by Pink, while the bride and groom entered to “Fireworks” by Katy Perry. Their first dance was performed to “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran, with the parents dancing to “Let it Be Me” by Ray La Montagne. The Hora was performed to “Simon Tov,” “Havenu Shalom” and “Hava Negilah,” and the couple performed the cake cutting to “By Your Side” by Sade. The wedding guests all agreed that the music beautifully reflected the eclectic and polished class of this event!

The Royalton at Roslyn Country Club was the setting for the beautiful Mauceri/MacFarlane wedding on May 3,
featuring an elegant garden ceremony with “Caledonia,” an Irish-inspired Dougie MacLean number and a bridal processional of “Canon in D” by Pachelbel. After the ceremony, the party recessed to “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray La Montagne to a cocktail reception followed by the dinner/dance. The bride and groom entered to “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors, with their first dance to “And I Love Her” by Passenger performed in both acoustic and with vocals. The father/daughter dance was performed to “I Loved Her First” by Heartland, while mother and son danced to “Have I Told You Lately” by Rod Stewart. During the cake cutting, the band played Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are.” Additional songs included a vibrant mix with “Moralito” by Carlos Vives, “Vivo Per Lei” by Andrea Bocelli, “Don’t Stop The Party” by Pitbull, “Uptown Funk” and “Conti Partiro” sung in Italian.
