No worries – you don’t have to! This is likely your first time planning a huge event, so relax and allow your team of experts to draft and refine a perfect night for you. Those experts start with your venue manager, caterer and bandleader! With our many years of experience and having played at hundreds of events, we know what works for a killer dance party. We’re going to show you how to maximize the FUN at your event.
What is a timeline?
Your party timeline is a chronological sequence of events that will take place during the reception (dinner & dance) portion of your party. This will include when special dances are, speeches/toasts, meal service timing, cake cutting, etc. We work with you and your venue manager, caterer or planner to finalize the perfect flow for your event.
What if things don’t go according to the plan?
Kitchen is a little behind? No problem, keep everyone dancing! Can’t find dad for his toast? No problem, keep everyone dancing! It’s time to cut the cake, where is the groom? No problem…you get the idea. The bottom line is that the band is there to keep your guests entertained throughout and it’s ok if things get off by a few minutes here or there, we’ll get everything back on track by going with the flow.
Front loading the formalities.
This means placing the special dances and toasts after the intros and First Dance. This clears the way for more dancing before the first course. After first course, we like to get your guests up for a good 40-60 minutes of dancing before the main course is served. Then it’s an all out dance party after the main course. Less sitting and more dancing = more fun…let’s get everyone up and dancing as much as possible.
Let us offer our expertise!
In the timelines we design, we maximize as much dancing possible. We can show you how to create a timeline that maximizes dancing and eliminates down time. Once we know the meal service times (first, second, main course and dessert) we can build a fun party around those anchors.
