Mr & Mrs Cole!!

Mr & Mrs Cole!!

There is nothing better than a family wedding. Del’s Groove had the privilege to perform at bandleader’s nieces wedding. Jeanette & Olumide were married on Saturday July 3rd. Their reception took place at Nicole Renee Occasions in South Philadelphia. You know the night is going to be great when you get a parking spot right in from of the venue! But all kidding aside, this was one of the most unique experiences of mine as The Wedding Singer.
Jeanette’s roots are that of Italian and Cuban. Olumide is from Sierra Leone. What a delight to share in all the traditions from ceremonial drums & dancers to the hot Latino feel of the music we got to enjoy on our breaks. Jeannette’s sister Renee sweetly sang the couples first dance – To Make you Feel My love, which immediately confirmed the warmth of this family. Sugar Pie Honey Bunch was her choice to dance with her father, as that was always “their song” as I came to learn that Ernesto had sang it to her ever since she was a little girl.
Bandleader Emanuel, who was a guest, did assist in setting the “dance your feet off” tone starting out with The Authority song since he had sub drummer Steve Arditi. Now, we did surprise the family and guests with a little Latino medley we put together, and seemed as though they loved it!
Thank you to the Betancourt’s for the family treatment! Best of Love, Health & Happiness to Jeanette & Olumide!
Sincerely,
Susan, Your Wedding Singer
