Arnold - DeMeglio Wedding - 3 Piece Band

Donovan Kovar and The Amazing Band

We had the privilege of celebrating with Jennifer Arnold and Michael DeMeglio at their wedding reception on Leech Lake in Walker Minnesota on July 1st, 2006.

Our wedding band consisted of me and my 2 main musicians David J. Russ and Arron "Al" Bergstrom on a small stage, beneath a "wedding tent" overlooking the beautiful lake - as the sun went down. Because we are a dance band - the wedding planners also put up a dance floor with lights and decorations hanging from the top of the tent - it was very cool.

Jennifer and Micheal had a beautiful ceremony overlooking the lake and then we all ate a great dinner. The "grill master" was a guy named Charlie who cooked all the food on a HUGE grill and boy was it was delicious! The band always seems to sound a little better when we get a really good meal before we play.. : )

As soon as we started playing - people were dancing. As a wedding band - we try to start off a little lighter at first (with some more mellow songs) and the grand parents are often the first to the dance floor.

We played stuff like Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" and Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling In Love" - and near the end of the night we were playing stuff like "Rock and Roll" by Led Zepplin and "Lola" by The Kinks. - I had members of the wedding party coming up on stage to sing with me and we went late into the night with the dancefloor still full. (someone even put an extra hundred bucks in my hand to thank us for the great show!)

This was a wonderful wedding reception and I'm glad that we could be a part of it - thanks Jennifer and Michael - We wish you all the best!
