ARIZONA'S PREMIER DJ SERVICE

EVENT PLANNING FOR

YOUR RECEPTION

RECEPTION ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS:

WHEN PLANNING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE EVENING CONSIDER THE FLOW OF THE RECEPTION. I HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINING FOR 12 YEARS AND THE ORDER I AM LISTING BELOW IS WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST THAT WORKS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. REMEMBER, IF YOUR GUESTS HAVE A GOOD TIME, SO WILL YOU. THIS IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY AND DESIGN IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT. WHEN PLACING THE ACTIVITIES IN ORDER, CONSIDER THE TIME THAT YOUR GUESTS BE SITTING IDLE. I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE RECEPTION MOVING, COMPLETE THE FESTIVITIES IN A TIMELY MANNER.  REMEMBER: BOREDOM WILL KILL A RECEPTION!!
