For an event like this, the typical setup time is about 4 hours. That gives us time to set up the main sound system, the video screens, the photo booth, and the uplighting fixtures. For this event there was a second room outside the main ballroom where guests could gather, so that means running extra speakers. We have the ability to do this wirelessly, but at this venue the speakers have to be too far from the main sound system for a reliable wireless signal, and that means running cable. 175 feet of cable, to be exact!

Usually it’s just me doing the bulk of this work but for larger shows there will be a second person to help out with the photo booth and the lighting. Once all of the main equipment is set everything is thoroughly tested and the finishing touches are put on any custom video presentations and monograms, and finally the light show is tweaked. After all that it’s time to get changed and mentally prepared to perform. We think all the effort is worth it, which is why we do all of this at every single event we do!

I didn’t know what to expect from the museum, but it was gorgeous! I would definitely recommend making a stop there if you ever take a pilgrimage to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Really, I don’t think I realized how much more to Cooperstown there was to see.

The night could not have gone better. The guests were so energetic right from the start, literally… We started the dancing before dinner!

Ashley & Keith were planning their reception to be a party right from the start and that’s exactly what it was. After an afternoon of threatening skies, the clouds rolled away and the sun came out to shine on a beautiful lakeside ceremony. When the guests were fed, the dancing started and didn’t stop… they dance right past our ending time and with the gracious hospitality of the facility we stayed and partied for an extra half hour. Honestly, I think we could have gone another 2 hours if they’d have let us!

This was a very small reception of less than 30 guests so we were inside the restaurant for dinner and dancing. Even though their numbers were small, this group had no shortage of energy, and danced the whole night through.

Pictures and videos can be used in many creative ways to further engage your guests in your event; the possibilities are endless! At Exceptional Receptions, we utilize two large 51″ screens to ensure that your guests will be able to see the action wherever they are in the room.

Some creative uses include:

• Video clips and pictures that tie into a particular event, such as photos of the bride and her father that display as they share in the father/daughter dance.
• Video toasts from guests who are not able to attend in person.
• A slideshow of pictures taken right at the event, which could include images from your photo booth or even from your professional photographer!
• And much more… There are so many ways to incorporate multimedia elements to enhance your reception, you are truly limited only by your imagination!
