Wedding Reception Perfection

Everyone was excited when wireless technology eliminated mircrophone cords that caused many problems including tripping over them, but wireless microphones aren’t perfect either. Like most professionals, Trans Audio DJs always arrive and setup long before guests arrive to test and make sure all their equipment is working flawlessly, including wireless microphones. Then guests arrive and unfortunately the quality of sound is jeopardized when guests forget to shut off their pocketed electronic devices (cell phones, PDAs, etc.), which will occasionally result in microphone “voice dropouts” and/or “various noises,” including ringing. To avoid this potential problem, please have someone request that your guests turn off their cell phones during your event, or ask your DJ to announce your request five (5) minutes before the beginning of your event

Wow, you’re getting married soon but have no ideas for ceremony music. First, how about what not to use. Classical? Go ahead. Jazz? Sure. What about “Welcome to the Jungle” for your recessional? Why not? It’s your wedding ceremony so anything that reflects your personal taste and personalities might be ok. The impression you leave your guests with is up to you. Some may view a wild music choice as irrational and may spoil the beauty and sincerity of the ceremony. You maybe better off leaving the wild music to the reception introductions. While there are many ceremony songs to choose from like Canon in D or a Bridal March just hunt around and listen to everything you can. All online music services are a great place to start and you’ll know it when you hear it. Ask the DJ or orchestra who will be performing if they have ceremony music suggestions because many do and they are always willing to give you ideas. It’s all a process of personal discovery. By the way, make sure all music choices are wrapped up at least 2 to 3 weeks before the wedding day. Make sure the DJ, Orchestra and officiant know exactly what they are responsible for playing so there won’t be any broken hearts as the ceremony unfolds in front of all your guests. The DJ may be willing to send you a copy of the exact music he will be using during the ceremony. That way everyone is on the same page, musically speaking.
