The Grand Entrance!


 
There is nothing that starts a wedding reception off better than a great Grand entrance. If you have been to or been in many weddings you know the routine. Once all of your guests have made their way to the banquet hall and the wedding party arrives it is time for your DJ to put on some ‘happening’ music and introduce them all.

But how can yours be different?

Tidbits: Pick out a different song for each couple and have your DJ play a 15-20 second highlighted moment of it. Let your couples know in advance of what their song will be and maybe they can come up with a choreographed bit to it.

Love Story: Once the DJ has introduced all of the wedding party members he pods down the music and gives a background story of the bride and groom. [Example] ”Although they grew up only miles apart from each other their paths would not cross until they both attended the University of Clark . . . “

Personally Speaking: The DJ/Emcee announces the wedding couple first and then turns the microphone over to them and lets them introduce their wedding party individually with a sentence or two about how they know them and why they are part of their wedding party.

Door #1?: After the wedding party has all been introduced and everyone is standing expecting the newest married couple to enter, the bride and groom come in from opposite doors individually, meet at the center of the dance floor and immediately go into their wedding dance.

Through the Clouds: Will your banquet hall allow a fog machine?

And we have more ideas.
