A little over a month ago, we had the honor of being a part of Erika and Nabeel’s wedding celebration. Their fusion Indian/American wedding took place at the stunning Woman’s Club of Evanston, a gorgeous historic venue that was the perfect setting for their big day. For this wedding, we provided our Evanston DJ entertainment services, which included our wedding elite package and our premium photo booth.
The evening began with a brief yet charming ceremony in the venue’s ballroom. The ballroom was transformed with full room uplighting, enhancing the ambiance and creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented the couple’s vision for their special day. After they said their “I Do’s”, our newlyweds walked back down the aisle to “Marry You” by Bruno Mars, along with the sound of cheering and joy from their guests.
After mingling for a bit during their cocktail hour, it came time for the reception to kick off. The introductions of the bridal party kept everyone engaged; first to walk into the room were Nabeel’s parents, then Erika’s parents. Following them came Nabeel and his groomsmen, who performed a choreographed dance that the room went wild for. Erika and her bridesmaids came in after, also with a choreographed dance, and the room filled with even more excitement. The most exciting part, though, came when Erika and Nabeel shared their own choreographed dance that bled into their first dance as husband and wife. They danced to a custom mix of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” and Parra for Cuva’s “Out Here with Us”. Their dance absolutely kicked off the reception on the right foot, as guests were buzzing with conversation and pure joy for their two favorite people.
Erika and Nabeel welcomed everyone and thanked them for being there, then had their cake cutting before breaking into dinner service. Ashyana Banquets provided a delicious meal while guests enjoyed speeches made by friends, Erika’s maid of honor, and both Erika and Nabeel’s parents. One of Erika’s bridesmaids also sang a song in dedication to her and Nabeel, which was a truly lovely moment to witness.
Finally came our favorite part of the night: opening up the dance floor, of course! But before we introduced some dance floor favorites, we started off with a slow dance for the groom’s parents. The two of them swaying on the dance floor were a beautiful example for Erika and Nabeel’s love. After their slow dance concluded, it was time to get the party started.
Our team was thrilled to curate a music playlist that reflected this unique blend, incorporating energetic Bhangra beats and soulful Bollywood melodies alongside American music favorites. Once the music began, the energy on the dance floor was electric. Erika, Nabeel, and their guests danced with unbridled joy, creating an infectious atmosphere that filled the ballroom. The sounds of Punjabi, 2010s pop, and chill wave instrumentals kept the floor packed. The diverse range of songs ensured that every guest had the opportunity to groove to their favorite tunes and celebrate the couple’s beautiful union.
The celebration continued well into the night, with the music seamlessly transitioning between Indian beats, American hits, and the couple’s personal favorites. The dance floor remained alive and vibrant, reflecting the love and happiness that surrounded Erika and Nabeel on their special day. Congratulations to our newlyweds! We are honored to have been a part of such a beautiful occasion, and thank you for trusting us to help you make the best day ever!
