Keep the Flow On Your Big Day- Wedding Reception
Tips For Your Big Day
You’ve booked all your vendors, found the dress of your dreams, paid all your deposits and nabbed Mr. Right. The only thing left is The Big Day. One of the most important elements of your wedding day is the orchestration of everyone involved and it is extremely simple and flexible. Every client says the same thing, cant wait for you to rock our party and dance…Every parent, best man, and bridal member know this is what ultimately Everyone is looking forward to. So lets rock and get the details right.
The Itineraries we create with you is a tool the venue, the band and clients appreciate dearly. In fact, we send a copy of the itinerary is sent to the Maitre D at the venue about 2 weeks prior to the big day. Most are surprised and appreciative to have received anything from the entertainment in advance. They have so much on their plate that it is a relief to have something well prepared and detailed in advance. What this paperwork accomplishes more than anything is allow the happy couple to breathe knowing all is taken care of with their input!
The timeline/itinerary is considered a living document and we are willing to make changes updates at the last minute- Things happen and will be prepared and are as flexible as we need to be to ensure your event is flawless. This paperwork is not attained through a 3rd party, a scretary, or an agent. You deal only with the bandleader who will be at your event.
Having done this many many times, we encourage you to put your stamp on your day. Be you and yours and create your own script! I work very closely with clients and build a wonderful chemistry that allows a clear and open channel of communication. OK- let the ideas flow and lets put your reception together!
2 Simple Thoughts on keeping things moving and have a great party:
1. All your first dances right after the introductions: Yes- You have everyones attention and they are all right there with you. More time for dancing and partying later without slowing down. Of course it is your choice and there is no right or wrong. Each song is approximately 3 minutes long.. OK – thats about 10 minutes and photo ops were had, all were present, and we keep flowing. This works very well!
2. Limit speech length to 5 minutes. Many a wedding have had very lengthy speeches. All are wonderful, heartfelt and very moving. It has happened where multiple speeches each going 10-20 minutes in length.. Food service may be delayed as well as time for dancing can be shortened considerably. A good time for more intimate speech may be the rehearsal dinner. Think of your guests as well that are excited for you and want to have a wonderful time with you..
Just something to be mindful of.
