Your Reception or PartyThe Do's and Don'ts
OK- We have been there and have seen it all. More small tips for a great reception or party DON’T: Call for group photos when the dance floor is packed: When your photographer decides to take group shots when the dance floor is rockin’, either 1/2 the dance floor goes outside to take the picture, or the bandleader has to clear the dance floor to do these shots. This kills the momentum of the party. DO: Try having the photographer do group shots during background music time. The bandleader will be happy to coordinate this with your photographer. DON’T: No dance music during the meal: Quite often, the caterer or venue asks the band to stop the dancing and get everyone seated for dinner, and then does not bring out food for 10 or 15 minutes. We know the importance of having everyone seated to enjoy the main course while it is hot.
