September 16, 2016

Emily & Kevin

Ensemble: Stax | Eight Piece

An unreal wedding at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School in Duxbury, MA where East Coast Soul's Stax ensemble laid down a truly unforgettable performance!

East Coast Soul was grateful to be brought to join Emily & Kevin for their stunning Duxbury Bay Maritime School Wedding in Duxbury, MA.

Preprations for Emily & Kevin's Big Day

Our preparations for the big day began many weeks prior, with Emily & Kevin offering a myriad of musical and logistical options with us for the big day (we take our preparation process extremely seriously). Emily & Kevin were incredibly helpful during this advanced planning and a huge asset throughout.

Once the big day arrived, East Coast Soul traveled to Duxbury, MA and took care of the normal load-in, set up, and sound check process for Duxbury Bay Maritime School weddings. We're often asked about our process for loading in and sound checking at various venues. This is a part of the day that we take seriously, spending extra time to avoid rushing, and ensuring our gear is properly tuned for the room.

Ceremony

In this case, East Coast Soul was not involved with couple's ceremony, with those arrangements having already been taken care of.

Cocktail Hour

As is often the case, East Coast Soul was requested to perform cocktail hour music. Cocktail hour is a wonderful chance for the bride and groom to relax after the intense emotions of the ceremony. We do our part by performing a variety of relaxed music for guests to enjoy listening to. In this case, and featured music by artists such as John Coltrane, Miles Davies, and more.

Reception

In a bulk of weddings, East Coast Soul is asked to provide MC services for the formal portions of the celebrations. This Duxbury Bay Maritime School Wedding was no different.

The groom and bride’s First Dance

The bride and groom's first dance is invariably one of the most meaningful parts of the big day. It's an opportunity for the bride and groom to take a moment for themselves. With this part of the wedding finished, the guests and vendors took a break for dinner. After a quick break, East Coast Soul's Stax ensemble returned to the stage.

Dance Party

our dance performances commonly kick off with vintage material. We've discovered this is an excellent approach to get folks up on the dance floor with songs they're familiar with. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Sam and Dave, The Temptations, and more dominated the beginning of our set list. We then moved into playing tunes by artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince and more. Finally, we ended the night performing contemporary material that everyone could sing along with.

Guests danced non-stop from beginning to end, and we limited our breaks to ensure people had as much time to dance as possible.

Thanks so much to Emily & Kevin for having us at their beautiful September wedding at Duxbury Bay Maritime School!
