This vs That: Reception Timelines Vs Chaos
Manage episode 296652041 series 2947169
If you ever wanted to know how to royally screw up your wedding reception just ignore this episode. In this episode, we had to split into part 1 and part 2 because there was that much to cover. The only people who are typically at a reception from start to finish are the planner/coordinator, the banquet captain and the DJ. So who did I turn to for this episode? This vs That editor Lance Panton. Between Lance and I, we have probably a thousand weddings to spill the goods on. Lance is a premier DJ in Dallas, TX.
In this one you'll hear about:
- having a friend or family member coordinate your wedding.
- pre-wedding communication with your wedding team
- reception timeline from the introductions to the , 1st dance, toasts, cake cutting to the exit.
- The cake break songs (DJ vs Cake)
- When to schedule your fireworks (and how I synchronize music to the show) and how your reception is like a fireworks show.
