Tonight I was at the Sheraton Carlsbad to celebrate Julia and Elijah’s big day
Stressful start for me as I (not to toot my own horn) single handedly saved the day in fixing confusion over who was providing a projector for a special video showed before the start and rushing in one of my back up speakers so we had audio (the site said it wasn’t their responsibility and were commenting on how unprofessional it all was, imagine their surprise when it turned out it was them that were paid to provide the whole thing !!!)
At the same time as sorting that out I was also trying to help a late arriving band set up and sound check before the guests came in the room…
We literally got both things fixed with seconds to spare
Then there was a lot of confusion about when I was going to play and the band so I ended up having no time to eat !!!!
At least I was able to sort out a terrible floor plan (that had about half the tables of guests directly in front of me with the dance floor at the other end of the room!!!) in advance, so glad I put the requirement to see that in advance on my contract… there were a lot of older guests and they would not have been at all happy !!!
And planners and venues tell you DJ’s are worthless at everything except playing music and should be ignored when you make decisions……
Anyway, rant over, back to an awesome wedding with an awesome couple, and talking about that video, we showed it after the bridal party grand entrance and before they came in and I caught them sneaking a peek !!
room looked great tonight, even though I am not a fan of tall center pieces everywhere as it blocks the view if a lot of guests when it comes to things like toasts…
See that big carpeted area…. that’s where they originally had all the tables I was set up to the left of this picture, against the wall looking straight at it …
And the band I mentioned led by Tony Soraci were great and entertained the traditional Italian music dancers really well, nice contrast between me and them musically to make sure everyone was happy !!
And when I took over we had a great dance floor, great night even though I truly earned my money tonight !!!
