Lara & Chris’ Wedding 4-22-17

When did I last share a playlist from a wedding? It’s been too long, but last night’s wedding was pretty wonderful, so let’s find out what I played. The wedding itself was in Woodside, at Mountain Terrace. The ceremony took place on the sweeping lawn, with music provided by guitarist Chris Chegia. He also played on the patio during the cocktail hour, and kept guests enrapt with a mix of songs new and old. When guests moved into the cabin for dinner, I took over.
