We not only provide music and lights for your reception, but we have enough equipment to provide sound, microphones and music for your ceremony as well, even if it is at another location.
For the ceremony:
-We make arrangements ahead of time for the music, equipment and announcements for the ceremony. In most cases, you would provide us with a script.
-We arrive before the guests arrive and set up our equipment. For outdoor events, we prefer to set up a 10' x 10' awning over where I will have my mixing equipment. This protects the equipment from the elements and keeps the sun off the equipment.
-We provide a head-worn wireless microphone for the person performing the ceremony and we can also provide microphones and connections for other presenters during the ceremony, including guitars and keyboards if needed.
-Once the ceremony is concluded we would tear down our equipment as quietly and quickly as possible and head for the reception location.
For a Reception:
-We have what we call a self-contained set-up that is all self-standing, so we do not need a table to put equipment on. I need two locations on the back side of the dance floor from your guests for my speakers to sit (approximately 24" deep and 48" wide, each). Please consider not having people sitting directly between the speaker locations and the dance floor. Those guests will not like that!
-We make arrangements ahead of time for the reception by having you fill out a worksheet that tells us all the music you want played for special moments during your reception. Our sheet gives a sort of guide as to how things will progress during the reception, including when you want people announced and what those names are.
-We prefer to have our DJ system setup and in place before any of your guests arrive.
-We start with light dinner music as your guests arrive. We prefer a lower volume and usually instrumental music during this time, so that your guests can talk and communicate easily with each other. That is my preference and has always seemed to work well. You may prefer something else - and we can talk about that ahead of time.
-When your wedding party arrives, we can provide intro music and introductions of your wedding party if you like. Some clients prefer it, some don't. That is up to you.
-We make almost any announcements during the reception you want us to make. We do not however, provide the prayer or provide the "release" of the tables for dinner.
-We will provide a wireless microphone for the person saying the prayer and for those making toasts, which is usually done from the head table area.
-Once the dance floor is clear, and you and your wedding party are ready for the first dance, we will begin the dancing portion of the evening with your "bride and Groom" dance for just the Bride and Groom. The second song is when I prefer to announce your wedding party, starting with the best-man and Maid-of-Honor, followed by the rest of your party. You may choose to have other family members announced at this time as well. All your choice and planned out ahead-of-time in our worksheet.
-Once the dancing starts, we prefer to have full control over the music selection we play. If you feel you have to firmly dictate an exact playlist of songs, then we feel you should not need our services. We prefer that Our music selection be dictated by watching and listening to the people in the room. Our years of experience helps select what we feel will make them dance and enjoy the evening. We do everything we can to play many different genera's of music throughout the evening. We prefer "less wild and less volume" early-on and "more aggressive, and 'maybe' louder", as the night progresses. We also take requests all night and do our best to play each and every request,
-We provide music and announcements for all the "special" points of the evening; such as the father/daughter dance, groom/mother dance, the "who's been married the longest" dance, the dollar dance, the garter and bouquet ceremony, the "dancing in the bucket" dance, and anything else you can think of, all pre-planned from our worksheet.
For Pageants:
-We provide the agreed upon equipment needed. We provide the wireless mics, stage monitors, mixing equipment, audio equipment, 2-way communicators (if needed) and even lights for the judges' and auditors' tables.
-You provide a script and the discs of music for the shows. As of right now, we still use compact disc formats for shows such as this. We can have them pre-loaded in my computer if that is necessary and works better for us both.
-We work with your Producer or we handle the production ourselves if necessary.
-Lighting is optional but that has to be pre-arranged ahead of time.
for races, festivals, sporting events, etc.:
-We show up at races with a small P.A. System to cover the crowd area. We also provide a small FM broadcast unit that broadcasts over FM radios in the close vicinity of our location. In the past, we work with the scoring people and usually have a computer feed of the scoring computer to announce off of. This is what we use to "call the event" and keep everyone up to "speed".
-we play music during "dead air time" portions of the event to keep things active.
-Usually we choose the music but it can be pre-arranged ahead of time to serve your puropose
-If there is a ceremony following the event, we can provide other equipment, microphones and announcing, if necessary. All of which would be pre-arranged.
For bands (Live Sound):
-We provide the sound system, stage monitors, wireless and corded mics, mixing equipment and engineering. We can provide some stage and effect lighting as well.
-We have as much set-up ahead of time, based on your stage layout, so that when you arrive, you just plug in and we start mixing.
-we currently use a 32-channel Mackie Mixing console, Yorkville Cabinets, JBL EOn15 Monitors, Shure Wireless SM58's and Shure Beta58 corded mics for vocals. For instruments, we use Shure SM57 mics. For the drums; We use sennheiser E904 CLip-on drum mics for all the toms, Shure SM81's for Overheads and a Shure Beta-SM52A for the Kick-drum.
