Some of the Overlooked Elements of a Wedding

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:16:04 +0000

There is nothing less stressful than planning a wedding; the thoughts of flowers and table settings may bog down the happy bride-and-groom-to-be in trivial details and insignificant worries. But, all wedding “necessities” aside, there is only one way to insure the peace of mind that all attending guests are having a great time: the music. The music provided gives everyone a chance to dance and enjoy themselves and even more importantly its the last part of the evening that everyone will go away remembering. So that, even if the placement of the ice sculpture isn’t perfect, I’m sure no one will notice.

To get the specific one-on-one attention that most people desire while planning their wedding, the suggestion of a wedding DJ is advisable for the entertainment. With a wedding DJ, playlists can be discussed, several different styles of music are available to be played, and the personality versatility of a wedding DJ is difficult to get elsewhere. Most band or other similar wedding entertainment provision have the tendency to be focused upon their image and personal performance, but with a wedding DJ; with meetings and consultations, you can guarantee that there will be no stress between band members or worry about having to pay multiple musicians.

Consider what day you would need your wedding entertainment, and when you are likely to book your wedding DJ. The further in advance you book, the more likely you will be able to the DJ you desire, and special attention in coordinating toasts, father daughter dances, special requests, and other wedding entertainment staples will leave you in peace of mind knowing your day will be stress free!

Location is everything. Think about what effect you want the venue of your wedding and/or wedding reception to have on your guests. Would you like a complete disco, including a full lighting package or perhaps a more discrete on is to your taste? At Party events unlimited we have a range of combination to suit your desires including effects, lighting, and other exciting things to offer.

Remember, the comfort of your guests is a top priority. You’ll want to find someone with enough professional experience to handle anything that comes your way. Weddings can be chaotic, but the right DJ can help make your special day a smooth operation. With this in mind, when you find the right DJ, you’ll know it. Go with your gut instincts. This is your wedding, you’ll know the DJ is the right fit.

Hopefully, your wedding will be full of music, laughter, and love. And your wedding DJ can make the ceremony beautiful and fun. Wedding entertainment can be daunting, but with a helpful and professional DJ, you’ll be smooth sailing until your fiftieth wedding anniversary.

iPod Weddings & Events

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:13:27 +0000

Everything about a wedding can be stressful once that engagement ring is slipped on the awaiting finger. From relatives who never seem to be satisfied, to choosing what wine goes with what dish, to who should sit at what table, and so on and so forth. One aspect of weddings that should not be ignored (and is certainly implied) is the music to be played at the reception.

A popular method of providing entertaining in this modern world is to set it up so that an iPod will play the music. It may be difficult to exclude an old friend that has played music through the night and day, on plane rides and car drives, but it should be considered. After all, there are many reasons why using one probably isn’t a good idea.

For one thing, there is a good chance the setup will have a mind of its own, and not do what you want that crucial moment. The guests – standing around, the bubbles in their wine glasses falling one by one – while the groom or a member of the bridal party fumbles to figure out what’s wrong with it. As their eyes seem to bore into the back of your head, an embarrassing song by a group you didn’t want people to know you like starts to play. Somehow, the shuffle option has been selected, instead of a special playlist you created for the occasion.

Another downside to using an iPod as Wedding Entertainment is that it doesn’t quite set the right mood. That tiny box sitting on a chair in the corner will not do much to get the guest’s legs moving. They may not even see it or realize that it’s there, and unless it’s hidden away safely, somebody might sit on it, and then you’d have an iPod pancake.

So why not use a Wedding DJ? Having a living, breathing person to actively play your music, take request and interact is the most efficient for a wedding reception. Wedding Disco music, combined with a Mobile Disco presce, will liven things up, setting a mood that lets the guests know that they should be going crazy and looking foolish on the dance floor. Whereas an iPod playing might simply be seen as background noise, a quality Wedding DJ would really pump things up and make the music stand out and get attention.

Whether the DJ is meant to be a Wedding DJ, a Prom DJ, or even just a Party DJ, it can give any function a life of its own, and going with one would be a smart move.

Extra Touches For Your Wedding

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:38:15 +0000

Your wedding day is that one day you have been dreaming about since you were a little girl. Your hope is that everything goes exactly as planned, and everyone has a wonderful time. Often times when planning a wedding, the main details get the most attention (quite rightly) but what many couples forget about are extra little touches that could make your big day even more memorable and special.

A way to make your wedding very memorable would be to include live wedding entertainment, such as dancers, impersonators, or even magicians. Professional dancers, such as Irish dancers or Brazilian samba dancers, would definitely make your wedding unforgettable! If you and your fiance really enjoy a certain celebrity, a great surprise for your partner and guests would be having an impersonator show up. Having a magician at your wedding to either go round the tables during the meal or to do a cabaret style show would provide great live entertainment for your guests of all ages.

Another important way to make your wedding unforgettable is having an amazing wedding DJ (namely, us!). Your song playlist can also play a part in making your event special others, including the wedding song from your parents wedding, or just about any other song for people who are special to you is a well received gesture. Image when those songs are played, and the wedding DJ recognize the special couple; picture the look on their faces when they hear that surprise!

When thinking towards your wedding disco time there could be either well-known dances, or dances introduced by your wedding DJ, to really keep the dancing alive. To take your wedding disco one step further, you could look into different LED lighting arrangements, or even an LED dancefloor. Giving your guests glowsticks to use as an accessory for when they dance would be a fun extra touch as well.

Many couples decide to have a chocolate fountain, to compliment their wedding cake. With the chocolate fountain, you could provide different items, such as pretzels, marshmallows, strawberries, or even just a shot glass, to dip in the running chocolate. That will really make your wedding stand out from all the rest – and is certainly a tasty treat!

When planning your wedding, it is important to remember all the extra touches that will make your wedding memorable for everyone and to ensure your guests will be talking about it for years to come! Close your eyes and imagine all those small details. They will make your wedding perfect and unforgettable!

Rolling Out the Light Show

When it comes to transforming your standard town hall hall, white marquee in the backyard, or open warehouse floor into a venue worthy of such a special function where lasting memories are made and smiles are created, we completely understand the want and need to be better than any other event!

When you hire a mobile disco with us, you are not simply just hiring a DJ, with a good set up… you are hiring a professional DJ with an arsenal of great equipment at his finger tips. With such a range of equipment not only offers safety in the form of back up equipment it also offers flexibility for your Wedding Disco, Party Entertainment or DJ Hire.

Lighting plays a very big part in setting the mood – as you can imagine a nice soft white moving slowly verses the full on flashing strobe creates a very different atmosphere, which both have their places. We understand that when you hire a DJ for a wedding, your first dancing you anticipate being a special moment where you can enjoy with your loved one and don’t expect to be blinded by flashing lights, laser beams or covered with smoke. Similarly we also reaslise that when you hire a Prom DJ or Party DJ you actually might quite like the smoke, laser, flashing lights and thumping sounds. In either situation we have the ability to match the lighting to the mood you want.

Additional extra like up lighting can really transform a room, one example that can be seen is the transformation of a scout hut styled town hall into a professional looking wedding venue. Up lighting is certainly one of the greatest compliments you can add to a colour theme, as pretty much any colour or combination of colours can be made with up lighting… and then once the party kicks off we can then start to make the lighting change colours, flash and dance to the music.

This something to consider when planning your event, all the little extras that make your event just that extra special… why not check out our extra page to see what we can offer your event.

The Importance of Good Wedding Entertainment

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:22:50 +0000

In all the excitement of planning a wedding, some brides focus on gowns, flowers, wedding cake, and reception foods, and don’t give much thought to entertaining their guests at the reception. Yes, guests will chat and mingle while they drink champagne and nibble on hors d’oeuvres, but a truly enjoyable wedding reception needs a bit more forethought.

Interview a band or DJ just as you would a photographer. Ask about their wedding experience and for recommendations from previous brides. An emcee with wedding know-how is much better than settling for Uncle Ed with his CD player. Choose one who can direct the pace of the wedding reception, leading the way through introductions, dances, toasts, the cake-cutting, and the tossing of the bouquet.

A good bandleader or DJ will be willing to sit down and discuss the music you want. Be sure to include music for the tastes of all your guests. Remember great-grandma as well as your own friends. Choose songs for any special dances such as the bride and groom’s first dance, a dad-and-daughter dance, or a mother-and-son dance. Most DJ’s have an extensive selection of music of all genre’s and will help you choose a suitable play list.

If you are planning a family wedding with many children in attendance, think about hiring special entertainment for them. Keep in mind that a magician in a tux may be better suited to the atmosphere of a wedding than a clown in over-sized shoes. A side benefit is that the adults will enjoy a magician just as much as the children will.

Singing waiters are another idea for wedding entertainment. These professionals are fun, and have a routine for every occasion.

Instead of spending money on wedding favors that many people discard, hire a cartoonist to do caricatures of your guests. This is fun and entertaining and gives your guests a unique wedding favor they will want to keep forever.

Your wedding is your special day, so choose entertainment that you’ll love. Make it a memorable wedding that friends and family will enjoy and rave about for a long time!

How To Have The Best School Prom

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:22:13 +0000

Prom is a once in a lifetime event that needs to be planned and executed as perfect as possible to ensure you have an unforgettable night with your friends. With that said, it is important to handle all the necessary preparations in order to make sure Prom day memorable and significant in your life.

In order to have the best prom, it is imperative for you to plan as early as possible so that you can get things done without any hassles. Additionally, this also spares the inconvenience of making last minute purchases, which can lead to unwanted surprises. To say the least, planning is essential in order to achieve an unforgettable event that will leave a lasting impression.

Organize Thoroughly
Prom must be organized as thoroughly and as orderly as possible. Four months is a reasonable time that you or your student committee should look to get everything ready and prepped up appropriately. Among the most important components that make up a Proms are the limos, the entrance, the music and the DJ. The organizational period usually entails a lot of work, as there are a lot of things to cover. Nonetheless, when handled properly, it will turn out to be a well-planned and well-organized occasion that you can remember for a lifetime!

Prom DJ and Entertainment
Finding the right entertainment can be a real tricky task and can make or break your Prom! It is very often to want to go for the cheapest DJ but this usually means you will end up with a DJ who could probably be as old as your grandad, with a pop-belly and enjoy playing the Macarena. We at Party Events Unlimited, offer young fresh club DJs with sound set ups and light systems to match the desired all out blast effect. As for music selection we even offer an online music playlist that not only you, but also your class mates can also add to! So you can be sure you won’t be hearing your Abba or Stevie Wonder (unless thats your thing?).

Layout
The layout of the prom is very important because it sets the mood and the atmosphere for the entire event. The entrance and the overall appearance should be decorated and designed professionally to evoke different feelings and emotions. This substantially gives the prom a completely magical and exceptional ambiance. Ideas such as Ballons, Flowers, Photo Projectors or LED uplighting can all make a big impression for a very reasonable fee.

Transportation
Nowadays, limo services are essential for proms. Limo services allow for an grand entrance and also a mass transportation in which groups can come together and interact as they all get to the event. Some other really crazy ideas are firetrucks, sports cars, party buses, hummers, motorbikes, or even helicopters!

Photography
Prom is an occasion that will last for the rest of our lives. It’s a smart idea to hire professional photographers to cover the whole event so that the outcome will look very professional and magnificent. After all, these photos will be your remembrance to this once in a lifetime event, you certainly don’t want that picture with your eyes half shut and half a finger covering the lense.

Supervision
It is always a good idea to have supervision to look over the whole event. Essentially, the prom can be a very busy event. Organizers and supervisors should be present on the day itself in order to carefully arrange everything and make sure all the components fit together. Moreover, supervisors will also make sure that the prom is secure as a lot of unsuspecting individuals take this event as an opportunity to be rowdy and restless. Likewise, they will also be the one to enforce the dress code. All in all, a good supervision crew will allow the prom to flow smoothly and accordingly. Best of all, why not consider using your teachers as inside supervisors, they can always add fun to your event!

So ensure as you can tell there is a lot of planning and preperation for your big special Prom day, and we hope we have highlighted the reasons why you should choose your Prom DJ carefully, after all you certainly don’t want a Peter Kay style DJ ruining your last night together. So why not have a look through our gallery at some of the proms and functions we have done, to see if we fit the standard to what your after… To be honest, if you can think it – we can make it happen!
