Elite Sounds was able to put Destiny & Tyler at ease during the planning process. Then on the night of their wedding reception, DJ Tim kept the dance floor full and helped to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Sarah and Terrill were looking for a one stop shop for a reception DJ, ceremony audio, uplighting and photo booth. They were so pleased they went with Elite Sounds after they saw their guests enjoying themselves. #elitesoundskc
Laura and Alex were so pleased they went with Elite Sounds for their wedding. Elite Sounds' adaptability, dance floor management, lighting and photo booth were exactly what they had in mind for their reception.
Let's talk decor lighting......specifically outside of the box, unique decor lighting. Technology has changed in such a way that you have so many more options than even a few years ago. Most of these options…..you probably never heard of :/
Most of us have all heard about up lighting and pin spotting right? These are the two most common types of lighting seen in the Kansas City event market, BUT they are definitely not the only options.
Depending upon your venue, you may have a lot more options available to you that can make your event stand out from every other event that your guests have ever attended.
Does your venue have pillars, steel beams in the ceiling, a big stair case leading up to the upper mezzanine?
If so, don't be afraid of giving lighting a more serious look when it comes to your overall decor plan. We promise it is one of the most impactful decor decisions you can make if done right.
Check out these magnetic LED tubes (Elite Sticks). We have used these in steel beams running through a venues ceiling, a wall backdrop back behind a band or dessert table, and even used them in theatre balconies. This is the type of thing that has an incredibly small footprint, can be used during the cocktail portion and dancing portion of the night, and has the AWE factor that we strive for.
Remember, there is not one lighting option that fits every venue. Be sure to talk to your entertainment company to see what options are available, and let them guide you on what works well and will look great on the day of your event.
If you need a little more guidance, you can always schedule a call with us HERE. We would be glad to guide you in picking out lighting options that fit your budget, and the overall aesthetics of your event space.
Alexis, Brandon and their guests had a blast with DJ Martell at The Grand Hall at Power & Light. Martell made sure the night ran smoothly and the Elite Sounds Photo Booth was a hit! #elitesoundskc
Your guests have consumed several of your signature cocktails and now are getting amped up for what is surely to be an amazing night! As cocktail hour comes to a close, the preparations for your grand entrance are in full effect. The DJ is lining up the bridal party, going over name pronunciations and giving further instructions. Before you know it, the doors open, and all guests eyes are on you. This is the moment that will set the tone for the entire night.
……the music needs to be perfect! That’s why we are here to help!
What you choose will ultimately be determined by the overall vibe and guest experience you are shooting for. Below we have listed some top rated tracks to get you thinking, and get you a little closer to that final decision.
Now, this list is just the top 10 most requested in 2018 by brides across the country. There are many more options to consider if none of these fit the bill for you. Remember, it’s not just about the song that is played that makes your introduction a success, it’s also how it is played, and emceed. I know, it’s a lot to think about. Let us guide you. Click below to schedule a quick phone conversation. We will walk you through a simple planning process guaranteed to produce one of the most exciting receptions your guests have ever attended.
You’re in charge of giving your DJ the perfect playlist for your upcoming reception. Will the songs you picked tank, or bring the masses to the dance floor? It’s a struggle every bride and groom face as they prepare for the big day. Just know if you are working with Elite Sounds, we will guide this process for you to ensure that your list is on point and sure to please the masses. How do we know what will work? We have literally entertained tens of thousands of people over the years and have seen the good, the bad, and the worst :)
Speaking of the worst……we have attached a list of the TOP 100 MOST REQUESTED DO NOT PLAY SONGS for weddings. How did these become the Most Requested Do Not Plays you ask? They are calculated from millions of requests made from brides and grooms as they plan their reception music.
Now, if you find some of your favorite songs on the list DON’T WORRY!! There are some tracks on here that you’ll see on the Top 100 Most Requested Playlist as well. Many couples hear the same songs over and over at weddings they attend, then when they get engaged, they decide to completely break the mold and go against the wedding music status quo; eliminating wedding standards from their list. Just know that a lot of these do not plays actually work! But, many are also seen as extremely cheesy and cliche. Whatever you choose, as long as your guests are participating, and the overall vibe fits your style, then everything will be okay ;)
As always, if you would like to talk through your playlist in more detail or need anything else entertainment related, we are a phone call away.
Shauna and Trevor couldn't believe the energy of their guests and reception. DJ Tim provided in-depth planning to get to know Shauna and Trevor, utilized what he learned at the event and then delivered big on a dance floor that few of their friends will soon forget.
Jory and Steven were so happy they chose Elite Sounds to DJ their wedding. DJ Francisco was able to seamlessly mix their requests with their guests' requests for optimum dance floor success! #elitesoundskc
