"Forget Dinner... We Came To Dance!"

Located just 20 minutes from Philadelphia, Aronimink Golf Club's newly renovated, Tudor style ballroom can accommodate crowds large and small. Upon arrival at the wedding reception, Mandy and Bob's guests were welcomed by a very courteous staff before being served exquisite hors d’oeuvres.

The most memorable phrase I heard at Mandy and Bob's reception made it's way to the title of this post.

Bob's mother came up to me just as dinner was getting started and requested I play some up-tempo music like Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" and Stevie Wonder's "I Wish". When I pointed out the entrees that were being delivered to the guests, she looked me square in the eye and said in a jokingly serious tone, "Forget dinner... We came to dance!". I laughed and obliged. Not too surprisingly, she was right on the money.

Maybe I am just having a run of good luck with "dancing" crowds (knock on wood), but when I hit "Gimme Some Lovin'" by the Spencer Davis Group, the dance floor exploded!

At the beginning of the night, I looked around with mild skepticism about going the distance on this extended reception, but ten minutes after opening the dance floor, any dillusion of an early departure floated completely away! I don't think even one guest left the dance floor before 11:00 PM!

Congratulations, Kari & Christopher!

Mandy & Bob's comments about their wedding entertainment: "Steve did an amazing job!!! He is very professional as well as personable. We would highly recommend him to anybody. I have had so many of our guests come up to me stating this was the BEST wedding they had ever attended. You can't accomplish this without a great DJ. Awesome job!"
