Cocktail Music, music for cocktail hour

Something fresh for cocktail hour playlists

Something fresh for cocktail hour playlists

Having killer cocktail hour playlists are important. Cocktail hour is a great time at a wedding. All of your guests get refreshed and mingle to some tasty beverages and treats from the kitchen and relax before your grand entrance.

One of the most common types of music played at cocktail hour is jazz and classical. We all know the common composers Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. But what about something different for a change? Enter the Vitamin String Quartet.

This great quartet started in Los Angeles in 1999 and has become a sensation. Their biggest claim to fame is their arrangements of some of yesterday and today’s pop and rock hits such as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and more recently Lorde’s smash hit ‘Royals’.

The great feature to using a group like this for your cocktail and dinner hour is that it still sounds very regal and high end but with nuances of songs that people know and love. Take a listen to their arrangement of Royals.

Country Lovin @ Bill Millers Castle

Country Lovin @ Bill Millers Castle

June was a great month here at PTE. SO much going on with proms, corporate events, fundraisers, and of course… weddings.
June 15th we were at Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, CT for Laurie & Joe Novotny’s wedding. After a 2 week period of inclement weather, mother nature took the day off that day. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun was shining bright for a balmy summer wedding.

Inside, guests were treated to a tasty buffet and drink followed by square dancing. That’s right. Square dancing. It was a fun way to get the audience involved and out on the dance floor. We finished up some traditional wedding favorites and our first wedding of the season came to a close.

Joe & Laurie travelled to Alaska for their honeymoon for a great outdoor adventure.
A big thank you to Laurie & Joe for choosing us for their special day and to Bill Miller’s Castle for making us feel welcome.
