Marie and Nick knew before they even booked The Highballs that their first dance song would be “Yellow” by Coldplay, and we so enjoyed performing a special arrangement of it for them.  As the evening continued, the dance floor stayed packed while the band played the bride and groom’s favorite dance songs from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

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.

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!

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.

The wedding site was adorned with arrangements from European Floral Design and Trumps Catering prepared a delicious spread for Kristy & Donny’s family and friends. The bride and groom were looking to have a reception that was just a really fun, fabulous party with the guests dancing all night…and that’s exactly what they got!  The Highballs played all of the couple’s favorite ’70s and ’80s rock and dance music and the crowd never stopped.

Athens photographer Wingate Downs was there to document the evening’s events.  Here are some shots from “Foxy & Donny” ’s joyful celebration.

We look forward to seeing you there!
