What Happens During
Your Chicago Wedding Dinner?

David took care of all our announcements and introductions. he worked so well with all our vendors. David did a great job communicating, organizing, speaking and keeping things flowing, he hosts a great party!!”

 – Katy + Brian T.

How it Works:

Dinner starts as soon as the doors to the ballroom are opened and your guests enter, not when food is served. It lasts one-and-a-half to two hours depending on the number of guests. It’s the “business” of your wedding. 

The Dinner Schedule Includes:

  • Introductions of Bridal Party and Bride + Groom.
  • Toasts
  • Blessing over the meal
  • Cake Cutting
  • First Dance, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son Dances and Short Dance Set For Guests
    (Dancing Between Courses Schedule Only) 

Biggest Factors That Will
Make Your Dinner Successful

  1. Getting all the guests inside the room quickly and the bridal party lined up.
  2. The amount and length of toasts.
  3. The speed of the food service.
  4. Creating a clear schedule that all your vendors agree to.
  5. MC’s ability to understand your schedule and work with all your vendors.

Recommend Ensembles:

Jazz Trio (Piano, Bass and Sax) or Solo Piano
8 or 11 Piece Orchestra (Dancing Between Courses)
All Ensembles Include MC, DJ and Full Sound System.

Is Dancing Between Courses the Right Schedule for Your Wedding? Watch This First.

Why is a Separate MC a Big Advantage?

David are experts at handling your announcements and introductions and will work with you to create your perfect wedding schedule. He will work alongside your vendors to make sure all announcements for your wedding are taken care of. He’ll be available throughout the night to help you. Other bandleaders are also the vocalist, sax player or drummer. They have to stay on stage and can’t work with you and your vendors. You’ll get better photos, videos, and service. Most importantly, you can relax and enjoy your wedding! The band is there to play David will take care of everything else. 

Hiring David Rothstein Music was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. They not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we're still receiving compliments from our guests about how amazing they were.!”
