On Friday evening, September 19th, Jellyroll performed at the wedding of the beautiful Chrissy Haldis (an accomplished New York model), and her groom, Cory DeForrest. The reception was held at Cairnwood Mansion in Bryn Athyn, PA which is a unique wedding location where Jellyroll is always excited to perform.
The night started as the bride and groom performed their first dance to “Harvest Moon” by Pearl Jam. After which, Jellyroll immediately got the crowd up and dancing to the new hit by the Black Eyed Peas, “I Gotta Feeling”. It really is the perfect song to set the mood for a fun and memorable night. After a few high energy dances, the guests enjotyed a delicious dinner, prepared by Jimmy Duffy Catering in the outside tented area.
Following dinner, Jellyroll was quick to restart the party by playing the parent dances. Chrissy and her father danced to Jellyroll’s rendition of “Do I Make You Proud” by Taylor Hicks. Cory and his mother danced to “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. After these sentimental dances, Jellyroll kicked it up a notch for the rest of the evening and kept the dance floor crowded until the end of the night.
The following night, Saturday, September 19th, Jellyroll played at the wedding of Jill Galbally and Lieutenant Peter Murphy. Jellyroll always appreciates the opportunity to perform at the wedding of military personnel. Peter was truly a gentleman, as his bride was lovely. The reception was held at the Union League of Philadelphia, and as always the staff did a wonderful job of ensuring a flawless evening for the bride and groom.
Others who helped to make the evening unforgettable for all in attendance were wedding planner, Lynda Barness, from I Do Weddings, and photographer Marie Labbancz. Jellyroll’s great friend Tim Sudall, of Video One, was the videographer for the evening.
Jill and Peter performed their first dance to “Nothing at All” by Ronan Keating. The bride danced with her father to “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac. Jellyroll especially enjoyed learning “Bright Side of the Moon” by Van Morrison for Lt. Murphy to dance to with his mother.
The evening was a great success and guests were dancing all night long! In fact, everyone was having such a good time that the bride and groom asked Jellyroll to perform an extra 30 minutes longer than originally planned!
