Real New Jersey Wedding: Rebecca & Chris Light Up the Reserve Ballroom at Perona Farms
Some nights you can feel it before the doors even open. On August 21, 2026, Rebecca and Chris were announced into the Reserve Ballroom at Perona Farms as Mr. & Mrs. Chris and Rebecca Cammarata, and the room stayed up from that moment on. We handle wedding entertainment all over New Jersey and New York, and we’re proud to be preferred entertainment at Perona Farms, so running this one meant a lot to our team. Michael Marquez led the room as MC, Kevin Boyer was on the music, and between a hora in the middle of the first dance set and a dance floor that never thinned out, this one had everything.
A Perona Farms Wedding in Andover, NJ
If you’re planning a North Jersey wedding, you probably already know Perona Farms in Andover. It’s one of the most sought-after venues in Sussex County, and the Reserve Ballroom is a beautiful room to work. This wedding also gave guests the brand new cocktail space, and it is stunning. Great venues keep raising the bar, and Perona Farms keeps doing exactly that. As preferred entertainment there, we know the rooms, the flow, and the staff, and that familiarity shows up in how smooth a night runs.
Rebecca and Chris held their ceremony right on the property, in its own room, with the prelude starting at 4:00. We provided the ceremony sound system with a wireless mic so every word carried, and a live violinist played as guests arrived. The wedding party came in to “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, Rebecca walked down the aisle to “Life with You” by Kelsey Hart, and after the kiss they headed back up the aisle to “Marry Me” by Thomas Rhett.
The Four Songs That Made the Night
Every wedding has a soundtrack, and these four moments are the spine of it. Here’s what Rebecca and Chris picked, and why each one worked.
The grand entrance song: “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors. The full wedding party came in as couples to “Here for the Party” by Gretchen Wilson, with both sets of parents walking in ahead of them. Then Michael announced the newlyweds and the song kicked in. A grand entrance song like that tells the room exactly what kind of night it’s going to be, and the floor was full before the first chorus.
The first dance song: “Spin You Around” (the slow version). Rebecca and Chris were specific about which version, which we love. We ran it to 2:13 and ended right on the dip. That’s the kind of detail we lock in at the finals meeting, because a first dance lands differently when it ends clean. Then, instead of easing back into dinner, we rolled straight into a hora during the first dance set and the whole room was up.
The father-daughter dance: “Yours” by Post Malone. Rebecca danced with her dad, Ron, and we kept it right around a minute, which held the moment without stretching it. If you’re hunting for a father-daughter dance song that isn’t the same three everyone uses, this one’s a great pick.
The mother-son dance: “Drift Away” by Dobie Gray. Chris took the floor with his mom, Jane, kept to about a minute as well. A classic every generation in the room knows. If you’re still deciding on a mother-son dance song, you could do a lot worse than one the parents’ table sings along to.
Also worth mentioning: Donna and Ron spoke, matron of honor Alyssa Amereno and best man Joe Cammarata handled the toasts, and instead of a bouquet toss, Rebecca did a bouquet dedication when she and Chris got on the mic. Small choices like that are what make a reception feel like the couple.
What Rebecca & Chris Booked
Every couple builds their night a little differently. Rebecca and Chris went with our Mystical Shooting Star Wedding Package and made two smart calls on top of it: they upgraded the sound, and they let us handle the ceremony end to end.
Basically, the package covers the reception the way we always run it, and the enhancements shaped the parts of the day people don’t always think about. Nobody remembers a ceremony they couldn’t hear. They remember a violinist playing while they found their seats and vows that carried to the back of the room. Rebecca and Chris also added an uplighting package, which pulled the whole ballroom together after dark. If you want to see what else couples add, our enhancements lineup is the place to browse.
How the Night Ran
Michael Marquez was on the mic all night, and this is where an MC earns it. Rebecca and Chris asked for a moderate energy level, someone to guide the room without taking it over, and that’s exactly what Michael delivered. He moved the night through dinner, speeches, and the couple’s own thank-you moment without anyone feeling rushed. Kevin Boyer read the floor and kept it full, which sounds simple until you watch someone do it well.
That’s the part we handle so you can actually enjoy your night. If you’re planning a wedding in New Jersey or New York and want to talk through what yours could look like, grab a quote and we’ll talk it through.
New Jersey Wedding Entertainment, the Way We Do It
You don’t need a hundred add-ons to have a great wedding. You need the right team, a plan that fits you, and a few choices that shape the day where it counts. Rebecca and Chris nailed that: a package that covered the whole reception, ceremony sound and live strings where it mattered, and songs that felt like them. That’s the approach we bring to wedding entertainment across New Jersey and New York.
And if you’re still touring venues, put Perona Farms on your list. Between the Reserve Ballroom and the brand new cocktail space, it’s one of the best-looking properties in the state. We’d know, we’re there all the time.
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Cammarata. Thank you for letting our team be part of it. Here’s to the best day of your lives turning into a lifetime of them.
