These weddings run differently from a standard reception, and the production needs to match. Here is what tends to get missed.
The entrance is the loudest, most physical moment of the night and it usually happens before anyone is seated. Bouzouki, bongos, toubeleki or a Lebanese drummer leading the couple in — that needs its own sound coverage, because it often starts outside the room or in a foyer where your main PA does not reach.
A bouzouki player or a drummer working over a DJ set is the standard format, not an upgrade. It needs a microphone, a monitor so the musician can hear, and a DJ who has done it before. Booking the musician and the sound separately is where nights come apart.
Circle dancing needs floor space, and more of it than a seated plan usually allows. If you are hiring an LED dance floor, size up. Sparklers and dry ice for the entrance and the first dance are near-universal, and both need clearance from the venue.
We supply the musicians and the production together — bouzouki, bongos, toubeleki, Lebanese drummer, dancers, MC and DJ, alongside the sound, lighting, dance floor and staging. It is the reason people come to us for these weddings: one contact, one run sheet, and nobody arguing in a car park about whose job the power was.
