Walker and Ellison DeLoach celebrated their wedding at Tin Roof Farms in Saluda, South Carolina, on April 18, 2026. We provided a seven-piece reception band in the Reception Barn. Ryan and Alyssa Photography photographed the day, including the couple and their guests dancing in the bright barn interior.
A band setup beside the dance floor
Our setup sat beside the glass doors, with the dance floor directly in front of the band. The photographs give a useful view of how the musicians and dancing area fit into the Reception Barn.
If you’re using this space for your wedding, consider the band and dance floor together when working through the room layout. Our reception layout guide covers the details we discuss with couples and planners before setting up.
Soundcheck before reception guests arrive
We scheduled load-in for 2:00 PM and soundcheck from 3:30 to 4:00, ahead of the 5:30 reception entrance. That left 90 minutes between the scheduled end of soundcheck and guests arriving in the barn.
Putting those times on the same timeline helps everyone see when the room needs to be available to the band. These were the arrangements for Walker and Ellison’s reception; access and setup timing should be confirmed for each wedding.
Live sets and the recordings they chose
Walker and Ellison selected the full recording of Michal Leah’s “The Way I Love You” for their first dance. They also specified a fade point for the father-daughter dance. Choosing the recording and the ending in advance gives us a clear cue to prepare alongside the live music.
We scheduled recorded music during dinner at 6:00, with the next live set beginning at 6:45. Their evening also included time for a recorded private last dance at 9:50 before the 10:00 exit.
For the live music, their requests included “Dancing Queen,” “Proud Mary” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” with some slower songs mixed in. They supplied a separate list for recorded break music, so we could prepare both parts of the reception.
