Timeline of a typical 4 hour wedding reception:
First half hour:
Wedding pictures are taken, if they weren't before the ceremony. The guests start mingling, and getting something to drink. Music begins
Second half hour to hour and a half,:
Receiving line is formed, guest pass through. Guest book is signed, and table cards picked up if any. Hors d'oeuvres or finger foods are passed.
Second hour:
Buffet is announced or guests are seated, if you are having a sit down meal. Wedding party is seated and served. Food is served to guests. Best man proposes the toast.
Third hour:
Any speeches are made by the bride, groom or family. First course is cleared from the head table. Bride and groom have their first dance. Guest may follow on the dancefloor.
Three and a half hours:
Tables are cleared. Guests may mingle or dance. I will announce the cake-cutting ceremony. Cake is cut, and served. Dancing resumes.
Last half hour:
Bride throws bouquet. Groom throws garter. Bride and groom change into their going away clothes. Rice, birdseed, bubbles or rose pettles are given to guests, if not earlier, then tossed on bride and groom as they run to their car. The bar closes, music stops, and guests start to leave. Parents gather personal belongings and gifts before leaving.
Downbeat Sounds first started playing for the Y2K New Year Party. The owner (me) was trained by a long time Wedding disc jockey in the central Florida area.
Starting out by playing in lounges and clubs, paying the bills was a chore. But I soon learned by making contacts, that there is another option, that of the Event DJ. Over time, Downbeat Sounds has grown to be a premier service.
By reinvesting moneys I made, I have updated my all my equipment (almost yearly) and stay on top of the music game. Now venturing into the karaoke field, a new dawn rises.
