It may have been Friday the 13th, but there was nothing unlucky about the wedding of Reney Coburn and Dave Lamont on November 13, 2009. Reney is the sister of a long time friend of Kurt, and Jellyroll was thrilled to perform at her wedding reception, which took place at the Doubletree Hotel Mt. Laurel, NJ.
Since the event took place in New Jersey, and the Bride was a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, Jellyroll decided to bring back an old favorite, paying tribute to The Boss by playing Springsteen’s “10th Avenue Freeze Out“. This song was a great hit, encouraging guests to fill the dance floor, which was jam packed with guests dancing and having a ball for the entire remainder of the night. Jellyroll, also, performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Frankie Valli as a special first dance for the Bride and Groom.
On Saturday, November 14th, Jellyroll performed at the wedding of Zara Rosenberg and Zachary Shapiro at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia. Maitre d’, Aric, did a wonderful job of pulling together all the detials of the evening and making sure everything was perfect for the bride and groom. Lauren Lerner was the planning contact for Jellyroll at the Ritz-Carlton. She worked with the band to make sure the evening was well coordinated.
Kosher catering was provided by Berel Fischler at Prestige. Prestige Caterers are known for their creativity, and in admiring the delicious spread of food offered at the Rosenberg-Shapiro wedding, it is obvious why.
Shea Roggio, of Wonderful Machine, was the photographer for the evening, and Jeff Ashe, of Ashe Productions, provided the videography.
The bride and groom’s first dance song was a Jellyroll favorite, “Feels Like Home to Me” by Chantal Kreviazuk. The couple decided on a joint parent dance to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance“.
This traditional Jewish wedding included an exciting 20-minute Hora.
