Festive
Events believes that every wedding is special and unique. Our
approach is designed to assist you in planning your perfect
wedding reception.
Upon contacting Festive Events, you will immediately be assigned
a Professional DJ/Entertainer who will work with you to start
your planning process.
Throughout your planning process, your DJ will continue to work
with you to ensure everything is just as you dreamed your
wedding would be.
Whether you want your DJ to be interactive or more reserved,
props or something unique, Festive Event's motto remains "Your
dream wedding may be another person's nightmare".
Festive Events can also provide separate music for the wedding
ceremony. Violinists, piano players, harpists, jazz trios
or quartets. We will work with you to select music that fits
your desires.
We also offer musical suggestions for when your guests are being
seated, for the processional & recessional, as well as any
selections you may want during the ceremony.

WEDDING SUGGESTIONS / CEREMONY SUGGESTIONS - |

 Introductions
Introductions can be "livened" up using different types of
music. You may also have one selection for the bridal party and
one selection for the Bride and Groom. This is a good time to
set the attitude of the reception. You may want jazz music,
sports themes, or a selection from the entertainment industry.
How about your ushers entering the Grand Ballroom with Blues
Brother's sunglasses to the Blue Brother's theme music?
Whatever your taste, Festive Events will assist you in a Grand
Entrance of epic proportion.
First Dance
The timing of the first dance can have an impact as to the
amount of attention that is given to the bride & groom. For
example, doing your first dance right after your introductions
will have the most amount of attention given to the bride and
groom. This is usually good, unless the bride and groom are more
subdued. The bride and groom may also choose to have some or the
entire bridal party join in the first or second dance. It may be
better to do your first dance right after introductions, so as
to keep the bridal party together (after a meal, the members may
roam around and be not as easy to assemble).
Getting the Bride & Groom to Kiss
Most people are familiar with the tapping of the glasses to get
the attention of the bride and groom to kiss.
Other ideas include:
Having the DJ instruct the guests that the bride and groom are
happy to kiss but each table has to get up and sing a song with
the word "love" in it.
Have the bride and groom create a box with the names of all the
married couples in attendance. When someone taps the glass, the
bride and groom will pick a name from the box and the couple
will display (or teach) the newlywed couple how to show
affection, where the bride and groom must mimic the actions of
the selected couple. After all, the newlyweds are inexperienced.
Parents Dances
Ask your DJ to help you come up with "non-traditional"
selections for you to dance with your parent. Maybe you would
like to have the bride and dad dancing at the same time as the
groom and mom.
Giving Away the Pieces
Using a variety of dances with people dancing around the table
to giveaway the centerpiece.
You may also choose a variation of passing the dollar bills to
various music selections.
Cake Cutting
Instead of the traditional "Bride Cuts the Cake", try using some
other type of music that may be more reflective of the bride and
groom.
Garter and Bouquet Toss
The traditional garter and bouquet may be "livened" up with
different music.
Try using the Best Man on one knee for the bride to sit,
(instead of using a chair). It makes for a great picture.
How about presenting the bouquet to another person instead of
tossing it. It may be appropriate to pass it to a maid of honor,
a sister or mom, or someone who has assisted above and beyond in
planning your wedding.
Method for Last Dance
The last dance can be done in either a circle, or walk around
and say good-byes. Another option is to have the guests join the
bride and groom at some point during their last dance. Still yet
another idea is announcing last song with everyone dancing
together.
