Annemarie Galasso and Daniel Foglio married on May 18, 2024, with a church ceremony on Folly Beach and their reception at Regatta Inn. They chose a five-piece Soulution band for the reception. Their music choices included pop, soul and country, with specific portions of songs selected for the first dance and father-daughter dance.
From cocktail hour to the reception entrance
Their timeline put cocktail hour at 4:30 PM, reception guests arriving at 5:25 and bridal-party introductions at 5:30. Dinner was scheduled for 5:45, with cake cutting at 7:00. Keri Seay Events was listed as their coordinator.
With five minutes between guests arriving and introductions, it helps to give the band a clear entrance order. Annemarie and Daniel supplied each pair’s names and relationship to the couple, along with the introduction they wanted: Daniel and Annemarie Foglio. They selected Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” for the bridal-party entrance.
If your ceremony and reception are in different places, share the reception arrival time as well as the ceremony time. That tells us when guests are expected at the music location and when announcements need to begin.
Choosing the part of the song that matters
For their first dance, Annemarie and Daniel chose Dan + Shay’s “From the Ground Up,” specifying the section from 1:40 to 3:00. The father-daughter selection was Zac Brown Band’s “The Man Who Loves You the Most,” from the beginning to 1:29.
Those timecodes are useful when preparing a shortened dance. Send the version you mean and the part you want to keep, then talk with us about whether you’d like it performed live or played as a recording. A song title by itself doesn’t tell us where you want the dance to finish.
Requests for the reception and the last song
Their preferences included “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Uptown Funk,” “I Want You Back” and “September,” alongside country music. They also marked songs they didn’t want. Our song-request guide explains how to share both sides of that list without needing to plan every song in order.
They selected DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean” for cake cutting and Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” as their last-song request. A sparkler send-off was also part of their plan.
