Twin Lake Village Wedding in New London, NH

East Coast Soul was grateful to be asked to join Prita & Mac for their stunning Twin Lake Village Wedding in New London, NH.

Preprations for Prita & Mac's Big Day

Our preparations for the big day began months in advance, with Prita & Mac expressing a variety of musical and logistical preferences with us for the big day (preparation is a key part of our process). Prita & Mac were heavily involved in this advanced planning and super helpful throughout.

Once the big day arrived, East Coast Soul traveled to New London, NH and carried out our normal load-in, set up, and sound check process for Twin Lake Village weddings. Our process for loading in and setting up at any given venue is a big part of our preparation process. 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 great opportunity for the bride and groom to relax after the heightened emotions of the ceremony. We do our part by providing a variety of relaxed music for guests to listend to. In this case, and featured music by artists such as John Coltrane, Miles Davies, and more.

Reception

In a majority of celebrations, East Coast Soul is asked to handle MC services for the formal portions of the celebrations. This Twin Lake Village Wedding was no different.

The groom and bride’s First Dance

The couple's first dance is almost always one of the most emotional parts of the big day. It's an opportunity for the bride and groom to take a moment for themselves. With this portion of the wedding complete, the guests and vendors took a break for dinner. After as short a break as possible, East Coast Soul's Stax ensemble returned to the stage.

Dance Party

our shows often start with older material. We've discovered this is an excellent approach to get guests up on the dance floor with songs they know and love. Artists like Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Earth Wind & Fire, and more dominated the beginning of our set list. We then transitioned into performing music by artists like Whitney Houston, Prince, Michael Jackson 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 Prita & Mac for having us at their beautiful September wedding at Twin Lake Village!
