An Unforgettably FUN Wedding at the Whitetail in Manlius, NY

This past Saturday we had a great time providing services for the Wedding of Jennifer and Kyle Haskins. We provided ceremony audio with a wireless lapel microphone on the officiant, and ceremony music. It all took place at The Whitetail, at The Woodcrest Country Club in Manlius, NY. The Whitetail has a great staff, headed by Richard, the Banquet Manager, whose professionalism was second to none. We coordinated with him throughout the day & evening and his main focus was attentiveness to the Bride and Groom, and working together to make the day a success.

The beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooked the rolling foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The ceremony was officiated by the Bride's uncle, William Gallerani, who performed one of the most moving ceremonies I've had the honor to attend in a long time.



 Kyle and Jen are a fun couple who picked out a bunch of great songs in several genres, country being one of their favs. We always welcome a DO NOT PLAY list from clients, and encourage them to let us know any music or genre they don't want to hear at their wedding. The ONE song on Jen & Kyle's Do-Not-Play list was Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back. No problem, right? No less than 10 minutes into open dancing time, we received our first request for Baby Got Back! About 10 minutes later- ANOTHER request for Baby Got Back...... I was beginning to wonder if my clients were testing me lol.
 
In another 15 minutes, a THIRD request for Baby Got Back! This time, a guest let me in on a little secret: At every wedding Kyle attends (as a guest of course), he does an OUTRAGEOUS dance to Baby Got Back! It's over the top, and of course follows copious alcohol consumption. Again, I politely declined the request. The dance floor was hopping most of the night, but before 8pm we'd received no less than 12-15 requests, some begging, some offering to PAY me to play Baby Got Back! LOL! I declined the tip of course, but let them know that if the Bride and Groom signed off on it, I'd gladly play it. Obviously when Kyle did his Baby Got Back dance at other weddings, his entire family wasn't around like they were now.... Finally, Kyle gave me the green light. The results were unforgettable!


Thanks for the great time Jen & Kyle!!
All the best!
