Schaffer Sound Productions - Event Planning Tips

Wedding Reception Time Line

Click the link above for an idea of what to expect from your entertainer during a typical five hour wedding reception. The example will show a wedding that starts at 5pm and concludes at 10pm.

Location

If possible, locate the Disc Jockey close to the dance floor. This will enable your entertainer to interact with guests and better coordinate all traditional formalities.

Volume

Please consider the noise level in relation to the placement of guests when planning your seating arrangements. (i.e.: locate younger guests closer to the dance floor/speakers and older guests further away.)

Forms

Return both the DISC JOCKEY PROCEDURE FORM and THE MUSICAL REQUEST FORM at least one month prior to your scheduled reception date. This will allow sufficient time for proper planning and musical preparation.

Requests

When choosing musical requests, keep in mind that there is a limited amount of time and usually a wide range of age groups present. Our goal is to please you! Help us enhance your reception by focusing on the specific requests, dedications, and musical preferences that are MOST important to you. It is also helpful to list any songs that you do not want played.
