Wedding Reception Planning Sheet
|
|
- The Sound Spectrum
offers the unique kind of planning and know-how that only wedding
music exerts can provide. We have been entertaining at
Wedding Receptions since 1966 and have performed at Thousands
of Wedding Receptions just like yours. Because of our experience,
and the fact that many people are not familiar with the proper
order or characteristics of a Wedding Reception, we have provided
this worksheet for your planning. Each event will be arranged
and announced for you in a PROFESSIONAL manner. The Format below
is recommended for most Receptions. Your DJ will use it to help
Plan and Control the Reception for you. We will attempt to COORDINATE
all activities with the other Vendors so you can enjoy the Celebration.
Please remember that this is only a guide and can be altered
in any way to fit your requirements. Background music (lite
rock, jazz, instrumental, etc.) will be started when your Guests
begin to arrive and continue until the First Dance.
- Each couple will be asked
to supply the information requested below so your DJ can add
the PERSONAL TOUCH to the Reception. He will meet with you and
the other Vendors to insure everything goes according to schedule
and plan.
