Meanwhile the video for the lead single “I Feel Like Dancing” features same-sex dancing and flirting.
The dance numbers like the new single “Feel Good Too” are steeped in the infectious grooves of disco and early house, making it nearly impossible not to move to. But not debilitating, just present … like his desire to finally live more authentically.Īnd while Mraz didn’t set out to release the album in time for Pride, it’s a perfect fit. Speculation about the sexuality of the ‘Abbott Elementary’ star prompted an insightful take on the cruel effects of policing masculinity.Īs he talked on Thursday about the impact of his divorce and subsequent fallout, his grief still felt palpable to me. Here are just some of the photos I snapped - there are even more on Facebook!

JASON MRAZ MARRIOTT MOMENTS INSTALL
This change of scenery was also functional - giving hotel staff a chance to clear the chairs off the dance floor, remove screens that had blocked-off the dining area and install the bar that would serve guests for the remainder of the evening.
The lobby is large enough that regular hotel traffic didn't interfere with the cocktail hour at all. A bar, a piano player and plenty of floor space allowed guests to mingle while enjoying hors d'oeuvres including fruit, cheese, crackers, tempura-fried shrimp and small pork chops. After the "I dos" were said, guests were ushered out to a roped-off area of the hotel's very spacious lobby. A-Listers like the Foo Fighters, KEM, the Roots, and Jason Mraz have. Arthur and Evan's wedding was held in the Persian Terrace, one of the multiple large ballrooms within this venue.Ĭhairs were arranged in chapel-style rows on the dance floor for the ceremony. At the Graduate Hotel in Cincinnatis uptown district, little moments of surprise. The other big "first" was DJ'ing at the beautifully-appointed Marriott Syracuse Downtown, which just opened this past summer following a multi-million dollar renovation to what was previously known for decades as Hotel Syracuse. January 14th seems like it might be tough to beat, but time will tell. The previous record for "first wedding of the season" was March 22. Believe it or not, this was my first-ever winter wedding. Still, Arthur and Evan's wedding managed to let me accomplish two things I hadn't done before. Going into my 7th year as a wedding DJ, there are still plenty of new experiences ahead, but not quite as many as there were in the earlier years.

Check out the full post to find out what was unique about this wedding, see some photos, and which songs the pair selected for the key moments of their special day! Not only was the wedding lots of fun, but it crossed-off two big items from my "never have I ever" list as a wedding DJ. Had an absolute blast playing Arthur and Evan's wedding this past weekend in the Persian Terrace ballroom at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown.
