Would You Like You and Your Guests
to Have This Much Fun at YOUR Wedding?
We will act as your Emcee for ALL your announcements and introductions. The more organized your reception, the more you can relax and get the best results from all your vendors. Before making any announcements or introductions, we will make sure all your vendors are ready. They'll be in the right place at the right time.
We keep your schedule on track all night!
"David is a wonderful MC - he takes into account all the special things you want for your wedding. Plus he keeps a timeline and basically makes sure everything happens when it is supposed to." - Meg Casey
"Being a professional videographer for over 20 years, I've been witness to many bands. I have to say that your group really stands out as one of the best I've seen. Thanks for keeping the crowd hopping and schedule on track. Making sure I'm ready for very announcement makes my job MUCH easier!” - Keith Kelly
Your Wedding Reception is divided into three main sections:
Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing
COCKTAILS
The purpose of cocktails is to change the mood from the formal ceremony to a much more relaxing atmosphere.
Recommend Ensemble:
Jazz Trio (Piano, Bass and Sax)
Description:
Relaxing, luxurious, sophisticated jazz for quiet background music.
We can bring a keyboard free of charge. The trio becomes part of the full band for dinner and dancing.
DINNER
The purpose of Dinner is to perform the standard wedding traditions as well as serve the meal itself. Dinner includes these standard wedding traditions:
Introduction of the Bridal Party
Toasts
Blessing over the Meal
Cake Cutting
First Dance (Dancing between courses only)
Father/Daughter Dance (Dancing between courses only)
Mother/Son Dance (Dancing between courses only)
Recommend Ensembles:
Jazz Trio (Piano, Bass and Sax)
7 or 10 Piece Orchestra (Dancing between courses only)
There are two different schedule options for dinner.
Dancing Between Courses or Midwest Style
Dancing Between Courses:
The full 7 or 10 Piece Band starts at the beginning of dinner. First dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances are done as soon as you are introduced. Guests are invited to dance right away. This is a huge advantage to your wedding. It's get all your guests involved in your wedding right away. After dancing a few songs the guests are seated. Then you have cake cutting, blessing over the meal. Salads are served. Toasts happen while your guests eat their salads. After the toasts, everyone is invited up for dancing. Once we are cued that the main course is ready they are invited to be seated. The band plays background music until all the meals are served. Once the main course and dessert is served you will have 3 hours of uninterrupted dancing.
If your toasts run long- it doesn't matter. If the food runs behind - it doesn't matter. It's a great insurance policy.
Dancing Between Courses will be EASILY understood by ALL your guests. 80% of wedding use this format for their wedding

All Dancing would start only
after the entire meal is completed.
Background music will be played
while your guests are eating.
