Having A Party - Backyard Wedding Party - Hour 1

This is the first hour of music that was played at Sean and Ashley's picnic wedding last Saturday. Early in the wedding planning process they decided to use a sound system playing an iPod playlist and they asked me to provide the music. I initially put together a group of mixes and posted them to Mixcloud where they could listen to them. I spent several weeks playing around and tweaking the playlist. I've deleted those mixes and will be putting up the music that was actually played at the wedding.

We had two sets of speakers. One set focused the music toward the tent and the dance area and the second set which had a separate volume control was facing the improvised beer garden area.

This is the music that was playing as the guests were arriving. Most people at this time were hanging out in the beer garden where there was a beer trailer with multiple taps and another area with tables of wine.

This party goes on for over 9 hours and here is the start. Here is how it went.
