Placed in confined quarters, cakes will fling icing on the dance floor, creating a hazard to all but the most sure-footed guests. If you can arrange extra space near the head table, but off of the dancefloor, you're much better off. Even soft dinner music will strike guests like a freight train if they're able to read song titles from the DJ's CDs from their chairs. DJs use different types of setups, requiring different amounts of room space. Talk to your entertainment provider about their requirements.
Party lights are among the most controversial of our wedding reception options.
It's a very understandable concern. The important thing for us DJs to consider is that ballads and first-dance songs need nothing more than a mirror ball's touch to accentuate the room's romantic atmosphere. We use slightly off-white, somewhat pinkish mirror ball light sources to sprinkle the room with a warm and slowly moving pattern of light. During the early evening, the sequenced lights and special effects projectors receive some rest time. Later, as the music gets faster, the dancers get younger and merrier, and the world gets darker, the lights will add a more festive, exciting atmosphere.
