Baseball Services
Something exclusive to Johnny Classic is providing services for baseball games. For three years I provided sound services for London?€¢âs oldest minor baseball association. It?€¢âs just like the big leagues. Imagine coming to bat when your name is announced. The crowd goes wild. |
Wedding Reception Events
Most of today?€¢âs weddings include a number of events. For some clients who are not familiar with them here is a brief outline of what you might include in your wedding reception. These can be deleted or arranged in any order. It is important to plan when they will occur during the reception . |
Cocktail Music
When guests arrive, a form of light instrumental music is suggested so that conversation can easily. At this time the volume will be kept low so as not to be obtrusive. |
Arrival of The Bride and Groom
You may wish to have me play a fanfare or ?€©«Wedding March from Lohengrin?€? better known as ?€©«Here Comes The Bride?€?. Shall I announce youival or will that be done by your Master / Mistress Of Ceremonies? Will there be a reception line and where will it take place? |
Bridal Party Introductions/ Toasts
It is important that the bridal party be introduced to your guests. This usually occurs following the dinner. Speeches with accompanying toasts may include groom to his bride, best man to the groom and his bride, bride to her family, groom?€¢âs family and her husband, maid of honour to the bride... |
Prior To The Reception Dance
Most halls have a space already cleared for a dance but in some venues it may be necessary to have dinner tables occupying space where the dance is to occur. The reception dance cannot take place until tables have been cleared (to avoid running into staff), the dance floor is ready. |
The First Dance
During our consultation, the music selection for this special dance will be made. Usually clients select popular songs that most DJ?€¢âs have but in case you request something that is out-of-the- ordinary, it will be precorded on compact disc to ensure the best quality sound. |
Cutting The Cake
Many photographers do not like to stay at the reception for its duration. Once they take first dance and cake cutting pictures, their task is essentially done. As a result, many brides and grooms will cut the cake within a half hour of the reception dance start. |
Banquet and Garter Toss
Singles will be invited to come on to the floor to receive the bride?€¢âs bouquet and garter. Music is not usually played during the bouquet toss but is played for the garter. The song to played will be predetermined during consultation. It has become customary for the receivers of the garter. |
Late Evening Food or Snacks
Most receptions end at 1 a.m. It is a good idea to have a second meal an hour and a half to one hour before the end of the evening. A good disc jockey will attempt to play music that meets the needs of all in attendance. Following a second meal I have found that many of those remaining. |
