What We Do.........BEST

What should you expect from your disc jockey at your wedding reception?

With ATMOSPHERE PRODUCTIONS LLC expect hours of great music, mixed with careful precision, and trust us to keep your reception running smoothly.

Your wedding day is something special. You'll invest time, energy and money into this special day. But too many prospective Bride and Grooms make that last minute blunder..... THEY CUT CORNERS ON THE ENTERTAINMENT!! The entertainer will make or break your special day!

The following is a condensed version of some of the events at a traditional wedding reception. Your personal tastes may dictate unique circumstances, therefore we are by no means limited to the following format. It's your special day. You can choose which events are included or excluded. Whatever your choice, we work quite well with the banquet facilities, caterers, photographers, and any other wedding professionals to assure everything runs smoothly. Here’s how:

Ceremony

ATMOSPHERE PRODUCTIONS is also available for oudoor and indoor ceremonies. We can work with you to bring music to almost any location. Now, you don't have to sacrifice sound quality and coverage just because your ceremony or cocktail hour is in a separate room or outside.

We can either set up a small discrete system with music and wireless microphones or "remotely broadcast" music to your location.

We can also have our Violinist perform ceremony music for you.

We can transmit up to 200 feet, and sometimes further, and under normal circumstances, without sound quality degradation. As long as we have an electrical outlet in the area we can provide this unique technology for you.

Additional fees may apply. Contact us for details

Cocktail Music:

While the guests arrive, we can play a light mix of smooth jazz, love songs or light classical music. Because your guests are spending this time conversing with friends and relatives we keep the music low-key and our volumes unobtrusive. We won’t just play Kenny G's latest CD either; the music is specially programmed and customized live for each event, so that YOU can pick the music.

Our Strolling Violinist can also provide background music for you.

Introductions:

Usually the photographer will take the Bride and Groom and Bridal Party for pictures after the ceremony. When everyone arrives at the reception hall, we’ll perform the introductions from our special Bridal Party Introductions Form that you have completed 30 days prior to the reception.

We will personally organize and line up the Bridal Party, Parents and Grandparents and go over the pronunciation of the names. We will coordinate these details with the banquet facility and photographers. All procedures will be explained to the Bridal Party and Parents, from when to walk in to where to sit. Nothing is left to chance - everything is coordinated!

Expect lively, enthusiastic, but tasteful introductions. This is one area that we love to do and are experts at. Carefully preselected background music is used during the introductions. This is one less item that you need to worry about!

If you do feel that you need to pick the music for the introductions, we suggest obtaining a copy of our Wedding Music CD Sampler.

Blessing & Toast:

We will announce the Blessing, Toast and any other speeches several minutes before it happens, so that everyone will be prepared!

The Blessing is usually performed first, by the Priest or a member of the family, with all guests standing. Then the Best Man will do the Toast, with the Bride & Groom seated and all guests standing. If the Maid/Matron of Honor, a Bridesmaid or an Usher wishes to speak this would be the best time. Also, the Bride & Groom may want to thank their family members and guests at this time. A portable cordless microphone will be provided.

Cake Cutting:

This usually takes place right after the meal. We will make sure the photographers and the Bride & Groom are ready, then we will make an announcement for the parents and guests to gather around the cake. We do NOT use “The Farmer In The Dell” or "The Bride Cuts the Cake" song". YOU can select a tasteful musical theme, as background music, while we talk you through each step of cutting the cake and feeding each other. This way, the photographers get each shot!

Alternatives are available for this event.

Dinner:

During dinner, we play a light, easy-to-talk-over music mix similar to the Cocktail Hour music (see “Cocktail Music”). The Bride & Groom will be served meals first, so while the waiters and waitresses are clearing tables, we suggest that this is the best time to go table to table, to visit your guests. This will give YOU and your GUESTS more time to spend dancing and having fun later!

Our Strolling Violinist can also provide dinner music for you.

First Dance:

The Bride and Groom select this song before the wedding day. We usually start with the Bride & Groom alone on the dance floor. If desired, halfway through we can invite the Bridal Party and the parents to join in. An alternative is to have one song for the First Dance and then a second song for the Bridal Party and the parents.

The First Dance may take place right after the introductions, during the meal, or after the meal; it's your choice.

Let’s Dance:

After the First Dance, we invite all the guests to join the Bride & Groom on the dance floor to start the dancing. In the beginning of the dancing portion of the reception, we usually play popular songs and music from your request list. This will usually allow everyone to get involved in dancing.

It is important that the Bride & Groom remain on or near the dance floor at this time. Going outside for pictures will discourage your guests from dancing and you will have less interaction. After all, if the Bride & Groom don’t get involved and have fun at their wedding reception... why should the guests?

Parents Dances / Bouquet & Garter Ceremony / Special Events:

These events are performed with great taste and elegance. The Bride & Groom preselect the music for these events. We can also give you alternatives for the Bouquet & Garter Ceremony, such as “The Anniversary Celebration Dance” (Note: The Bouquet & Garter Ceremony is performed with taste and not crudely). These, and other events, are scheduled to run smoothly and are NOT normally performed as one continuous event, one right after the other!

You can determine the extent of involvement of the DJ:

Laid back or interactive.

Regardless the DJ will NEVER become the center of attention on your special day.

So if you believe, as I do, that your wedding is important, then you'll want to see more of how ATMOSPHERE PRODUCTIONS LLC will enhance your day with our caring attitude that puts your style and feelings first. Because what we do is important and we love what we do.
