However, planning a party and giving it all the right combinations to ensure a successful event is not as hard to master. Follow these simple guidelines and experience the difference that it will make in the results of your event.
*Music Selection* Work with a Dj that can feel a crowd. Talk about the music that you love to listen to while enjoying a meal with your partner, when your in the car and what makes you go crazy on the dancefloor. Choose some of your favorite songs to be heard through out all of your event. Leave room for your DJ to work their magic too! We are masters at creating fantastic parties. Make sure your Dj will accept your guest requests at the event, this is super important to have a happy crowd.
*Room Layout* When you are deciding where everything will be for your reception think beyond the seating plan. Bar... will this be in the room or in the hallway/lobby? If the bar is out of the room, your guests will be too. The same rule goes for late night sweet/food stations. If you want the party to stick around, keep them in the room. Dancefloor... Having the dance floor set up in a central location is key to having your guests on it.
*Where to Stick the DJ* Technology is fantastic and mobile DJ setups are becoming simpler, smaller and more portable. With nice linens on the table and properly placed tape, a DJ table can actually work in a room that has been beautifully decorated. Place the Dj right beside or on the edge of the dancefloor. If you were to put the DJ in a corner away from the dance floor, behind a curtain or even in a different room, you are basically cutting the possible quality that the reception could be in half.
(Most Djs will choose if located by the dance floor put their speakers on either side of their table. This way the volumes are easy to set just right, there are minimal wires to tape down or have exposed and the amount of outlets need are minimal.)
*Important things to Remember* If a Dj cannot see the Dancefloor, how can they control it. Don't place your grandparents where our speakers will be, we do our best to work with the logistics of any room, but having guests right where our speakers are is never a good idea. Have clean Linens for our table, so that we can make it look as nice as possible. Don't leave the music details to the last minute, have your reception planner completed atleast 2 weeks prior to your big day so that you can just relax.
By considering all of these simply things, I can guarantee a great start to any event. Please consider chatting with us at any time before your event so that we can help you with any room placement problem or ideas that you may have.
Happy Planning!
