Dave and Serena were married on a gorgeous day at Kimball Hall in Roswell’s historic downtown. This wedding was extra special to us because we had the opportunity to play for the long awaited union of some very good friends…Dave, a former bandmate from Funkle Ester, and his beautiful bride, Serena. Not only were The Highballs bestowed the honor of playing the reception, but we also had the opportunity to reunite with old friends, dust off some of the old Funkle tunes, and reunite the band for a mini-set.
The Musicsmiths played flute and guitar for the ceremony, which was held in the outdoor garden. Following a jazzy cocktail hour, the couple danced their first dance as husband and wife to our arrangement of “Come Away with Me” by Norah Jones. The evening was filled with personal touches…one of the highlights was Dave surprising Serena with a late night serenade of an old Marvin Gaye classic.

Ashley & Ryan chose The Melting Point for their reception…one of our all-time favorite venues for live music. The space is unique and the acoustics can’t be beat! It’s primarily an intimate music club where fantastic bands from all over the country come to play, but it is also an ideal location for receptions and private events.
The evening event featured fabulous food from The Foundry Park Inn and flowers by Gardenia Floral Design. Tracey Hickey with Consultants Unlimited coordinated the ceremony and reception and The Highballs provided the live entertainment. The band kicked off the dancing with Ashley and Ryan’s first dance… Jack Johnson’s “Better Together” and tons of ’80s followed to keep everyone dancing into the night.
Special thanks to Jason Thrasher for providing us with these great shots from the party!
Forrest and Nate said their vows on a lovely March afternoon in Athens, GA. As the weather cooled off into the evening, the party was heating up at the historic Taylor-Grady House. The striking outdoor reception featured flowers from Gardenia Floral Design and a fantastic dinner catered by home.made.
The Highballs played a set of live jazz standards and classics during dinner then kicked the party up a notch with some of the couple’s favorites. Forrest & Nate are big fans of New Wave & 80s but they love Motown and Rock classics, too, so the playlist for the evening was a great mix of party music for all ages. Despite the chilly weather, their friends and family packed the dance floor until the last dance.
