And We Danced DJ Entertainment had the pleasure of celebrating the marriage of Phillip and Samantha at Dunkled Acres in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania. The couple chose a Quaker wedding officiated by the bride’s father to be united in marriage. Samantha wore a gorgeous, lace, beaded, mermaid style, sleeveless, white wedding dress with train, from Tanya’s of Montoursville, to celebrate her nuptials. Her maid of honor wore a black, sleeveless, full skirted, black gown. Philip was garbed in a black shirt, pants, vest and tie. His best man was clothed in a black suit, white shirt and a black tie. The bride used a hint of gold when accenting the black color scheme.

Hair Studio 35 of Lock Haven coiffed the lovely bride, her maid of honor and family members. Mel’s Diner and Cafe of Montoursville delighted guests with their appetizing hors d’oeuvres and delectable meal. The white, black accented, two tiered wedding cake and the delectable assortment of red velvet, chocolate and white buttercream frosted cupcakes were designed by Samantha’s Kitchen. Luminita Photos of Montoursville were the wonderful photographers capturing the smiles, laughter and enchanting moments of the bridal couple, family and friends. And We Danced DJ Entertainment provided the musical entertainment for the evening.

Phillip and Samantha began the night dancing to “Fall Into Me” by Brantley Gilbert. Samantha then danced with her father for the traditional father/daughter dance. She surprised her stepfather with a special stepfather/daughter dance which brought tears to many eyes. Phillip also shined while twirling his mother across the dance floor. Phillip and Samantha chose to auction one dance with the bride and one with the groom that night instead of performing the traditional dollar dance. It was a memorable moment with people bidding for the honor of a dance. And We Danced DJ Entertainment kept the crowd rocking throughout the night.

Thank you Phillip and Samantha for choosing And We Danced DJ Entertainment to be a part of your wedding day festivities. Good luck in your new life as husband and wife!

And We Danced DJ Entertainment had the pleasure of providing the musical tunes for Natalie’s Magnificent Pool Party. Natalie chose a beautiful, sunny day to host her party. She had a lovely luncheon available for guests to partake. A bartender was busy serving kid-friendly and adult refreshments to guests. A photo booth was available for guests to take some pictures, and And We Danced DJ Entertainment was busy mixing while guests were busy singing the tunes, clapping to the music or dancing.

Natalie’s puppy also played a big role at Natalie’s Magnificent Pool Party. When the puppy was allowed out to play with guests around the pool, she made sure she got to sample the treats available from the luncheon. The puppy didn’t step behind the camera for any photo booth photos, but the bartender did serve her a big glass of ice cold water. Natalie’s puppy was a little nervous about stepping into the pool, but she finally dived in and swam to get Natalie’s attention and approval. The puppy showed everyone that she did indeed know how to doggy-paddle.

Throughout the ages, people have been gathering around bodies of water. So, pool parties have been part of history for a very long time. Looking back, the first man-made public pool known as the “great bath” was created in 3000 B.C.E. by the Mohenjo-dario people. In the 6th century B.C.E., the Palaestras create an open pool for socializing and swimming. By 305 A.D.E., the Romans built the first heated public pool. In the early 1800s, England creates the first indoor swimming club which becomes really popular as a meeting area. In 1895, the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, the family home of George and Edith Vanderbilt, is the first American home to have an indoor swimming pool and hosted pool parties. In 1907, the Philadelphia Racquet Club opens the first modern above ground swimming pool. By the 1950s, backyard pool parties are soaring in popularity. Today, there is one activity people cannot live without and that is swimming. The only thing that beats just going swimming is having a magnificent pool party where everyone can relax, cool off and have some fun!

Thank you Natalie for choosing And We Danced DJ Entertainment to be a part of your Magnificent Pool Party festivities.
