Short job today 2:00-6:00pm At the reception now. Ceremony went great other than a light sprinkle. Easy intro just the B&G. First dance is over and feeding now. Has anyone ever seen a table release work? I made the announcement B&G first then wedding party. Then I would release the family tables, and soon after the other tables. Everyone got up at the same time and got in line, except one table. I walked over to the table, and the guests said, guess they don't like following directions. Oh well not a huge crowd. Pictures later tonight
 
Well other than a light rain during the outside wedding everything went fine with this one. Very nice couple, and wonderful family. Not much dancing except for the grand parents to 3-4 Old Swing and Rat Pack songs. The Bride and Brides maids dance to 3-4, but that was about it. It was a short reception. Wedding at 2:00pm, till about 2:30. Started some music inside, went back out to tear down the ceremony system.
1 Tapco Thump, two wireless mic, and a KMX01 mixer cd player.
Pictures going on during this, and then B&G went with the photog out into the botanical gardens for more pictures. B&G got back into the reception about 3:30pm Simple just B&G intro, straight into the first dance. A little walking around and talking and dinner served. As mentioned above got the B&G and wedding party started, and before I could even release 1 table almost everybody got up and got it line. Well eating till 4:20 mix of lounge, jazz, swing, country, soft pop. Cut the cake, and the special dances. The grand parents danced soft during this. Finally got a couple of dance songs in, the Girls only danced, then the bouquet and garter, a little more girls only dancing and that was about the end of the afternoon, B&G left at 5:45pm started tearing down, rolled out at 6:35.

My regular sound 2 L1s and 4 B1s
No dance floor lights
11 Eliminator E-76 cans

Just the dip switches for this color, a dark pink, all the reds, sw1,2,3 and and the second Blue sw8

They look like colorsplash Jrs is that right.... the reason I ask is I'm going to be doing some uplighting and will be in need of atleast 4 par cans and I definately want LED.... but not sure I want to spend the bux on the bigger cans vs the JR's. Plus I already have one JR.
