TI Fusion Journal: Weddings, Music & Everything in Between
Why We Love Vermont Weddings
An unforgettable summer wedding in the lush Vermont countryside, filled with love, laughter, and the kind of magic only Edson Hill and the Green Mountains can bring.
“A Summer Celebration at Edson Hill with Randi Nonni Events”
There’s something special about weddings in Vermont — the kind of magic that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget. At TI Fusion Band, we’ve performed at celebrations across the country, but few places offer the charm, natural beauty, and warmth of Vermont. And when it comes to incredible wedding weekends, Edson Hill in Stowe is at the top of our list.
This past July, we had the honor of being part of an unforgettable celebration alongside one of our favorite planners: Randi Nonni of Randi Nonni Events.
A Perfect Vermont Venue – Edson Hill
Tucked away on a scenic hillside in Stowe, Edson Hill is the definition of elevated, rustic luxury. With rolling green lawns, forest views, and cozy-chic spaces that feel both intimate and elegant, it’s a dream setting for a Vermont wedding. The venue’s natural backdrop set the tone for a joyful summer celebration that unfolded beautifully from ceremony to final song.
Seamless Planning with Randi Nonni Events
We love working with Randi Nonni. Her planning style is warm, personal, and detailed in the best way — and she’s the type of planner who makes sure every single element reflects the couple’s vision. From coordinating set times to keeping the timeline flowing, her calm, thoughtful energy allowed the day to feel effortless and filled with heart.
Musical Highlights from the Day
This wedding was all about music that moved with the moment. A guitar and piano duo performed a romantic mix for the ceremony, including a stunning instrumental from La La Land. Cocktail hour featured saxophone and piano under a tent on the lawn — the perfect pairing for golden-hour mingling.
When it came time to open the reception, we kicked things off with “Sky Full of Stars” and rolled straight into the couple’s first dance: “One Life” by James Bay — a beautiful and emotional moment that led perfectly into a packed dance floor.
From high-energy hits like “Shut Up and Dance” and “Pepas” to 90s throwbacks, country favorites, and modern classics, the guests didn’t stop moving all night.
Why Vermont Will Always Be Special to Us
From the fresh air to the thoughtful couples and the top-tier teams like Randi Nonni Events, Vermont weddings have a rhythm and a soul that we can’t get enough of. There’s room to breathe, to celebrate, and to create something unforgettable — and we’re always honored to bring the music to that kind of setting.
If you’re planning a wedding in Vermont and seeking a band that brings energy, passion, and unforgettable performances, we’d love to be part of your special day.

Our Favorite First Dance Songs
Your first dance sets the tone for your entire celebration. It’s intimate, emotional, and unforgettable — and we believe it should reflect you.
At TI Fusion Band, we don’t just play music — we create moments. One of our favorite ways to personalize a first dance? Starting with a slow, acoustic version of your song, then building it up to the original beat and inviting all your guests to join the party.
We’ve done this dozens of ways — and every single time, it brings down the house.
Here are some of our favorite first dance songs (you can find all of these and more in our Spotify playlist here):

• “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley / Kina Grannis
• “Make You Feel My Love” – Adele

Modern & Moody
• “The Feeling” – Kygo & Sigrid
(We LOVE performing this one with a slow intro, then bringing in the drop and inviting your guests to dance.)
• “Lover” – Taylor Swift (First Dance Remix)
• “Conversations in the Dark” – John Legend
• “Better Together” – Jack Johnson
• “Beyond” – Leon Bridges
Unexpected & Uplifting
• “You Are the Best Thing” – Ray LaMontagne

Amanda & Johnny’s Epic Florida Wedding at The Club at Grandezza, Florida
Amanda & Johnny’s Florida wedding at The Club at Grandezza was packed with love, energy, and epic live music. From a personal ceremony to a dance floor full of surprises, this celebration had it all.
Last November, we had the absolute pleasure of bringing the energy to Amanda & Johnny’s unforgettable wedding at The Club at Grandezza in Estero, Florida.
From a beautiful outdoor ceremony to a packed dance floor at the reception, this wedding had everything: thoughtful details, meaningful music choices, and one of the most fun-loving crowds we’ve ever performed for.
The Ceremony: A Personal, Acoustic Moment
Set on the venue’s lawn, the ceremony was officiated by Johnny’s dad—adding a deeply personal touch. We performed with live acoustic guitar, using a curated playlist that reflected Amanda & Johnny’s story.
Ceremony Highlights:
• Processional: “Holy” – Justin Bieber
• Bride’s Entrance: “Your Song” – Elton John/Ellie Goulding
• Recessional: “Dog Days Are Over” – Florence + The Machine
With 183 guests present, the emotional energy was real—and we were honored to help set the tone.
Cocktail Hour: Jazzy Vibes on the Patio
Following the ceremony, guests moved inside and onto the patio for cocktails. We kept the vibe upbeat and classy with live sax and keys, performing light jazz and fun instrumental favorites while the sun set over the Florida sky.
From the Aisle to the Air — Amanda & Johnny’s Epic Celebration
The reception kicked off with Amanda & Johnny’s introduction to “One More Time” by Daft Punk, followed by a choreographed first dance to Kygo & Sigrid’s “The Feeling”—complete with a surprise beat drop that got everyone on their feet!
The crowd was phenomenal. From the bride’s signature friend group anthem “Imma Be” (especially the 2:25 mark!) to classic rock solos during dinner, the energy never let up.
Amanda & Johnny’s wedding was the kind of night that reminds us exactly why we do what we do. From heartfelt vows to a full-on crowd surf by the bride herself, this celebration had everything.
And while Honey (Amanda & Johnny’s pup) couldn’t make it in person, she still made a surprise appearance on the dance floor… courtesy of a life-sized cardboard cutout. Now that’s what we call showing up in style.
Music That Mattered
Amanda & Johnny came prepared—with a Spotify playlist, a clear vibe, and even “please don’t play” requests they gave us the perfect roadmap to build a killer setlist.
The energy never dipped for a second. With a dance floor fueled by hits from 80’s & 90s hits, rock ballads, Chappell Roan, Queen, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, and more, the room was electric from start to finish. Every moment was bold, joyful, and uniquely them—and we were honored to bring the soundtrack to it all.
