An Unforgettable Dance Party
From the toast, cake cutting, 1st dance, Father/Daughter, Bouquet & Garter Toss, we will help guide everyone through the reception so you don’t have to worry. You can enjoy your special day with family & friends knowing that we'll will handle all the details.
We’re mindful of sound levels throughout the night (i.e. Guests can hear their conversations during dinner).
Customized Playlists for Cocktail Hour, Dinner and Dancing, music that’s unique to you and your guests. Smooth song transitions on the dance floor (no awkward moments here!)
At your discretion we'll set up some colorful LED dance floor lighting to enhance the mood of the party once the dancing begins. We can also provide haze to enhance the lights even more, giving a nightclub effect.
Extra early arrival time (2-3 hours in most cases). We work closely with your other vendors (all of us are on one team; YOURS!). We ven coordinate with your photographer to ensure they never miss capturing those special memories.
We'll be the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, taking care of all the announcements in a professional and classy manner. We will work with the venue and/or coordinator to keep everything flowing smoothly as well.
Every wedding day is truly unique, including yours! You may decide to do things your own way or you my want to incorporate traditional standards, either way we are more than happy to assist in creating your dream come true. The following are moments found in a typical wedding.
We'll begin with an initial consultation to discover what your vision for the big day is and if we are the right fit for you. During the consultation, we will work with you to create a simple-to-follow reception timeline for you and your vendors. Between the meeting and ceremony, you'll be given a simple form to provide information about song choices and timeline of events.
If your wedding ceremony requires us to provide audio equipment and/or processional music, we'll arrive early to setup the required equipment. As guests arrive we'll play soft instrumental music (which you can help choose if you'd like). We can also mic a soloist or duet for live musicians. A wireless clip on mic will be provided for the officiant and a handheld mic for the Bride & Groom. Song choices to consider include Bridal party walk, Bride entrance and song for exit of ceremony.
In some weddings the cocktail/reception is located adjacent to the ceremony, and in others they can be two entirely different locations. In either case, we'll have just the right music mix to set the mood, at just the right level so as not to interfere with conversation between your guests socializing while you take post-ceremony photos with family. Typically this is upbeat light folksy love songs, but we've had brides request for reggae, oldies and even choose every single song they wanted to hear. If you aren't as picky, you can share some genres or song examples and we'll easily put together a related playlist for you.
Once photos are over, the guests are politely asked to take their seats to get ready to be served dinner. During this time the wedding party grand entrance welcomes the Bride and Groom, guests tap their silverware on to glass cups to see the couple kiss and in the background is some light dinner music. In some cases we switch the genre once dinner begins and in others the music played during cocktail hour is continued further. We'll ask for your input on what you'd like to hear during this time. We are also available to dismiss tables and make general announcements.
After dinner is when most of the 'special moments' take place, though it is not unusual for some of these events to take place out of order, or even earlier in the evening.
Once everyone is finishing up with the meal, guests often give speeches about the Bride & Groom. We can provide a wireless mic for this moment. Also if you need that award show music to let your guests know 'wrap it up', we can assist!
One dance at a time, your guests will be in awe watching these special dances take place. While playing the songs you pick out, you'll have a moment with someone special on the dance floor to remember forever. A variation we've seen is directly after the grand entrance and before dinner, the Bride & Groom take their first dance.
At this time we'll make an announcement for your guests to gather around the cake area with their cameras and phones ready to snap a shot of this special moment. If you don't have a particular song for this time, we'll choose an upbeat sugar sweet related track to play.
With a call for the single ladies and gentlemen to gather around the dance floor, the contest for who can grab it first will take place. If you have ideas for these songs we'd love to play them otherwise we have some fan favorites to choose from.
Sometimes it helps having some extra cash before the honeymoon and what better way to get that than with the traditional 'money dance'! In this situation, the bride and groom each accept tips from the guests for a moment to dance with them. We have some fun money related songs to play or if you have ideas, we're down to play those! We also encourage and instruct the guests the entire time to participate.
Once all of the areas that require crowd control and the guests attention are completed, it is usually time to open the dance floor and let the guests have some fun. During this time we'll play songs and genres you choose, as well as requests from your guests. Our ability to read the crowd results in quickly figuring out which types of music your guests like to dance to and provide more of it to keep the party going.
