When planning a wedding and realizing that all the big things have been done, for example the venue is reserved, couples often focus more on emotional things. However, it should not be forgotten that nothing ends with booking the venue and hiring various service providers. If the wedding is not organized by a professional wedding organizer, the couple will need to think and pay attention to more than one technical nuance.

About and around musical performance

Music at a wedding is not limited to the evening celebration party. Before that, you will need both background music when welcoming guests before the wedding ceremony and the evening celebration, and during the ceremony, if the couple so wishes.

If live music is planned for the wedding celebration and ceremony, then you should immediately understand that any artist will want to install all the equipment before that, as well as try it out, or it will be necessary to find and schedule a time for the musicians' sound check in the wedding scenario. If there has been no contact with professional musicians on a daily basis, couples tend to forget about this necessity.

One more thing to seriously think about - if you want music to play when you welcome guests to the party, then you need to make sure that not only those in the room can hear it, but also those who enjoy being together, for example, in the rest area.

This, in turn, shows that the equipment (in this case, the booths) do not appear by themselves, but they must either be additionally rented or discussed with the venue or the DJ about the need.

There are couples who, in addition to a DJ and musicians, choose to hire a professional sound and light company for their wedding, which will take care of technical matters.

Lighting matters

If, however, you have decided to do without the services of professionals in matters of sound and light, then you should definitely discuss another issue with the DJ, namely the purple lighting, which they often choose to use.

Wedding planner and decorator Iluta Piternika / MintDeco indicates that the purple lighting of DJs kills the work of both photographer and decorator.

In the work of a wedding photographer, lighting plays an important role throughout the day at a wedding. One of the most important elements for photos to be as natural as possible and not to lose the mood is natural lighting. In this way, it is also possible to play with light, emphasizing certain details.

On the other hand, when planning the mixing part, professionals recommend preparing lighting that is not just candles, torches or balloons with LED diodes, which really do not give the photographer enough light to take pictures without a flash. But if the photographer has no other option but to use flash, it will unnecessarily dazzle the couple and guests, as well as spoil the mood of the wedding.

Technical details of an outdoor wedding

1. Often, couples want to surprise their wedding so much that they don't think about the fact that they also have to take care of fire safety issues. Especially if the wedding is held outdoors. If the wedding takes place in the open air, then you must also remember to preserve nature and not pollute by placing enough trash cans and collecting all the trash after the wedding.
2. Secondly, when holding a wedding in the open air, you will also have to think about many technical things, such as electricity (so generators will be needed), and the construction of the stage, where the musicians will perform and where the dancing will take place, so that the guests do not sink into the hall while dancing, as well as about the toilets, which will not be available in the open air.

Who will welcome the guests?

If the wedding ceremony and parties take place in different places and after saying their vows, the couple goes on their traditional outing and photo session, then you should think about who will be the person who will welcome the wedding guests instead of the celebration.

There must be such a person - it can be the leader of the evening or someone from the middle, because the leaders will most likely be with the young couple. The host will also be the person who will tell the guests that, guided by etiquette, guests can enter the celebration hall and sit at the tables only after the arrival of the new couple.
