A Taylor Swift-Approved Wedding at Balderdash Cellars – Kelsey & Rob’s Big Day

August 27, 2022 | Richmond, MA

There’s nothing quite like a winery wedding on a summer evening, and Kelsey & Rob’s celebration at Balderdash Cellars was an unforgettable mix of romance, great music, and nonstop dancing! With plenty of Taylor Swift (as requested by the bride), a high-energy dance floor, and a Hora that had guests cheering, their wedding was truly one for the books.

A Beautiful Ceremony with Acoustic Classics 💍🎶

Kelsey & Rob exchanged vows in a heartfelt outdoor ceremony at Balderdash Cellars, set against the stunning vineyard backdrop. Their ceremony music was deeply personal, featuring acoustic versions of their favorite songs:

🎶 Bridal Party Processional: Call It What You Want – Taylor Swift (Acoustic)

🎶 Bride’s Processional: Never Going Back Again – Fleetwood Mac (Acoustic)

🎶 Recessional: Invisible String – Taylor Swift (Acoustic)

With a close friend officiating and heartfelt readings from loved ones, the ceremony was a beautiful reflection of Kelsey & Rob’s love story.

Cocktail Hour & A Laid-Back, Fun Atmosphere 🍷

After the ceremony, guests moved to cocktail hour, where the couple curated a playlist full of feel-good classics and modern hits with a retro vibe. From Paul Simon’s “Late in the Evening” to Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer”, every song added to the relaxed yet lively atmosphere.

Grand Entrances & A First Dance to Remember 💃🕺

Instead of a full wedding party introduction, Kelsey & Rob made their grand entrance as a couple, walking into their reception to “Do You Love Me” by Guster, a fun and unexpected pick that had guests clapping along.

For their first dance, they chose “I Remember” by Betty Who, a sentimental and dreamy song that made for a truly special moment on the dance floor.

Dinner & Heartfelt Toasts 🥂

As guests enjoyed a delicious meal, the night was filled with laughter and emotion thanks to touching toasts by Mary-Ellen Odone & Jon Gardner. The dinner soundtrack featured a mix of soulful classics and indie favorites, from Sam Cooke to Lake Street Dive and The Beatles.

A Dance Floor That Never Slowed Down 🔥🎶

Once dinner wrapped up, it was time for a night of nonstop dancing! Kelsey & Rob had a clear vision for their playlist:

✅ Plenty of Taylor Swift (including the full 10-minute “All Too Well”)

✅ High-energy pop and dance hits

✅ Some modern songs that feel like oldies

✅ Absolutely NO Bruno Mars, line dances, or played-out wedding songs!

Some of the biggest hits of the night included:

🔥 Dancing Queen – ABBA

🔥 Super Bass – Nicki Minaj

🔥 Call Your Girlfriend – Robyn

🔥 Say a Little Prayer – Aretha Franklin

🔥 Higher Love – Kygo & Whitney Houston

The dance floor was packed from start to finish, with guests of all ages getting in on the fun.

The Hora & A Night to Remember 🎭

One of the best moments of the night? The Hora! As soon as the first notes played, guests rushed to the dance floor, lifting Kelsey & Rob into the air as they laughed and held on for dear life.

The celebration continued all the way until the final dance, a moment that perfectly capped off a wedding filled with love, music, and unforgettable memories.
