‘Music Tasting Stations’ for Wedding at Oatlands Plantation, Leesburg, Loudoun, VA

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Four separate Music Tasting Stations were discretely placed along the stone path, about 50 ft apart, each one providing a different playlist and genre of music – quite like movie magic – as guests strolled from the parking lot to the ceremony site.  DJ Ray provided his expertise, as guests were serenaded by this series of love tunes. Extensive pre-event planning with Kevin Olivera allowed the couple to personalize each music station with songs that were special to them.

The 7-piece variety band ‘Steppin Out’ performed dinner and dance music for this elegant french-themed wedding at Oatlands Plantation, Leesburg, Loudoun County, Virginia.  Again, careful pre-planning with Kevin Olivera allowed the couple to personalize their schedule of events for the dinner and dancing.
