MPEntertainment - Wedding Reception Information

     

Wedding Receptions

Your wedding reception will probably be one of the most important events you will ever have to organise. This is also the part of the day that your guests will remember most so it's important that it runs smoothly. How we format the evening’s entertainment is your decision. It's your wedding reception and everything should be exactly as you want it. However, planning a wedding reception can be a daunting experience for anyone. We realise that this is probably the first time you've had to hire music entertainment for a wedding reception. So let's review what you can expect from MPEntertainment.

Just remember, this format is only a guide and we will plan your evening according to your likes and dislikes... Simply tell us what you want.

Bride and Groom - First Dance

Set Up & Arrival

We will arrive about 1 – 1 1/2 hours before the scheduled start time of your disco. This gives us time to coordinate the sound and lighting effects before your guests arrive. If your guests will be arriving before our scheduled start time, notify us and we will ensure that your mobile disco is set up with minimum disruption to you and your guests.

Background Music

While your guests are arriving you can expect to hear suitable background music that will set the atmosphere, played at a volume level that will allow guests to converse. In our experience Swing and Classical music are best suited to be used as background music.

First Dance

Your DJ will introduce the bride and groom for the first dance of the evening and will play your chosen song. We will need to know in advance at what time you expect to have your first dance as a newly wed couple.

Traditionally for the second dance of the evening the brides father or whoever gave the bride away will be asked to join the bride on the dance floor and the grooms mother, if present, will be asked to join her son. The best man and the chief bridesmaid will be introduced soon after followed by the introduction of the remaining members of the wedding party.

Before the end of the song your DJ will ask that all of the remaining guests join the happy couple.

Cutting The Cake & Bouquet Toss

At agreed points during the evening we will be happy to announce the cutting of the cake and usually a later point during the evening’s entertainment we'll invite all the single ladies to the dance floor for an opportunity to catch the bride's bouquet.

In addition to this we can also announce the buffet, the final dance, the Bride and Groom leaving the reception for the honeymoon and anything else that you request.
