A New Orleans 2nd Line

Saturday, August 2nd 2008. What a beautiful day here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Just gorgeous. Near the shores of Lake Superior at the Up Front and Company in Marquette Michigan is where Vallery and Brian Krah had their reception that day. The evening started off slightly behind schedule but we caught right up and love was definitely shared from the moment they walked into the room as husband and wife. Vallery and Brian had a very touching Love Story, and the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances were filled with emotional moments as well. I actually found tears welling in my eyes watching Brian and his mother Jill share their moment on the dance floor as Mother and Son. One of the highlights of the night was the New Orleans 2nd Line. Several guests of Vallery and Brian's were from New Orleans and wanted to inject some true New Orleans flavor into the event. Vallery's father, Mr. Godfrey Heitmeier took over the MC duties for this presentation. I think you can tell by the pictures that a very festive atmosphere occurred. At the end of the night, NO ONE wanted to leave. Guests on the dance floor clamored for one more song even AFTER I had performed the encore for the night. It was exactly what Vallery and Brian had hoped for. I often comment with other mobile entertainers that our view of wedding receptions is completely skewed because we perform at several throughout the year. I can honestly say that Vallery and Brian Krah had a very memorable reception and one I will not soon forget. I am truly blessed to work for some of the best people in the world. Thank you Vallery, Brian, Godfrey, Carrie, Scott, Jill and all of the members of the Heitmeier and Krah families.
