At Elite Mobile Sound, we believe in coordinating each and every detail
of your wedding reception with the catering staff, photographer and
videographer so that everything flows smoothly.
"Your wedding reception is the Love Boat and your Disc Jockey is the
Captain." That is actually a very good analogy, because your reception
is not a food driven event or even a photo driven event. Those
components are vital and necessary, but the entertainment is the driving
force that guides you and your guests through the entire function. So,
the person you decide to put in charge of steering your "Love Boat"
should be a "Captain" with entertainment experience. The caterers are
pros at serving the meal and serving out the cake and the photographer
and the videographer have made getting just the right shot into an art
form, but they typically have little entertainment experience.
"Capturing and holding the attention for an extended period of time."
Sounds like the job description for the person who should be in charge
of your reception, but it's actually the definition of entertainment.
Because your reception is an entertainment driven event, the most
logical choice for filling the role of "Captain" is the person who is
running the entertainment.
Even when the smallest detail is forgotten, it can bring your reception to
a screeching halt. When that "stall" occurs, your guests will all look to
the Disc Jockey for guidance, direction, or more often than not, for
someone to blame. So, Elite have taken it upon ourselves to personally
coordinate and double check every detail at your reception. We also
make sure your parents and your wedding party members are properly
informed about upcoming events that require their presence and/or
attention.
Even though Elite offers reception direction services which can
commonly be confused the role of a coordinator, we prefer to call
ourselves Wedding Entertainment Directors, because our focus is on
directing the flow of your reception from the entertainment perspective.
Wedding consultants who help with the decorations and selecting the
right wedding dress are fulfilling the role of Wedding Producers. Their
services can be extremely helpful, but are not to be confused with the
role of a Wedding Entertainment Director.
Does this mean Elite doesn't work with your coordinator? Not at all.
If you have a coordinator for your reception, we will work with the
coordinator and your vendors as a team to make sure everything goes
exactly as you have planned. However, most of our clients don't usually
hire a professional coordinator for their reception, because they have
come to trust Elites' skill and expertise. If you would like to see our
direction checklist featuring all of the details we actually manage behind
the scenes, We will be happy to share that with you at our first
appointment.
