Tips For The Big Day from The Funktion Band
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!
3 Simple Thoughts on keeping things moving:
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.
