2. Cool area designated at your venue 

Whatever venue you share your vows in (church, backyard, barn or wedding hall), make sure you have an area that is shaded and cool. For outside weddings, pop-up tents are an easy and inexpensive way to create quick shade. Amazon has some inexpensive tents that are actually designed for a wedding.

The right song will keep everyone happy

Whatever the crowd may be, you as the bride and groom have the final say on what to play and what NOT to play. 

As the night progresses the dj should know the proper protocol to either slow the crow down with a slow song or wake the guests up with some popular main stream music that’s heard today.

You can never go wrong with popular artists like Micheal Jackson, Beyonce Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga. This seems like the whole entire specter and well, it is. Mixing certain music at certain times gives chances for guests that may not be so inclined to dance the night away to showcase some of their moves with the songs of their choice.

Lets be honest, if you didnt have music at your wedding, well the reception could be a bit “dry”. Not to say, limited music is not bad, it’s just music is such a staple at a wedding that you want it to be powerful and offering choices to your guests.

Step 1: Try to think of songs that you know you absolutly want played at your wedding. 
Step 2: Branch off of that one song and think of alternatives that are familiar to sound.

 Say you love Frank Sinatra but only want a few songs of his, try to consider some basic jazz songs for your cocktail hour that may sound like Frank but has the ora of his songs.

You want to dance the night away to a few Lady Gaga songs, but don't want it to become a  GAGA concert, think of music that could possibly be comparable to hers. 

Its all in the way the dj transitions these songs and in what time. Remember next time you meet with your dj, talk about possible alternatives to the songs you love and you'd be surprised of what they would have in their dj database!

Happy music planning!

See Your Name in Lights with a Personalized Monogram!

Your wedding day is all about you, and you want everything to be as special as possible. One excellent addition to any wedding day is to see your name in lights. With gobo lighting, this is an easy task.

Gobo lighting projects a pattern or design. For your wedding, this can be your name and the date, a pair of hearts, or any other design that fits your theme. This can then be projected onto any wall, dance floors,  or any other flat surface.  After all, anyone can have the same decor, but only you will have gobo lighting!

Gobos are also ideal for your first dance wedding photos. Having your name projected on the dance floor as you dance for the first time as husband and wife will look beautiful in your photos and video.

You don’t need to be a lighting expert to have these features at your wedding, though. Elite Entertainment can bring custom gobo lighting to your Central Florida wedding as part of your wedding package.

2. It lets you get all the songs you love in. Chances are your favorite music include a mix of musical styles and speeds. Your reception should be full of the songs you want to hear, and this will generally mean a mix of fast and slow songs.
