    Timeline documentation/collaboration

    Me too. I will send them a "guide" when they book that tells them everything I need from them. I then meet with them 3 weeks in advance and fill out a fresh guide. Some come with the guide completely filled out. I still pull up an empty one and fill it out as we talk. You wouldn't believe how...

    Split bouquet and garter?

    A lot of my couples are dropping the garter. I mention all of the old traditions during our meetings (Dollar dance, B&G, Anniversary, wedding party dance, ect) and most just want to eat and get to dancing. First dance and parent dances are the only thing that is consistent. I've even had some...

    Suggestions for a new light...please!

    Yea, Im talking about the Wash FX, not the Swarm. Chauvet is terrible at naming their fixtures. https://www.amazon.com/CHAUVET-DJ-Projection-Wash-FX/dp/B0793G9QCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525460515&sr=8-1&keywords=wash+fx&dpID=41eC5xHPWUL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

    Planners and Your Contract

    I've had clients randomly send me contracts for other vendors. Since we do a lot of day of coordination work, I will request all of the other vendors information and the couples will just send everything they have on that vendor. My contracts not a secret though. I'll send it to whomever wants it.

    Suggestions for a new light...please!

    All the time. I actually will sit at several tables before the event starts to see what their view looks like and sounds like. I have also taken enough pictures with my phone, like guests do, to know that effect lights look terrible. DMX and Proper positioning. Most of my wash is bounced off...

    No getting married trend

    The company I work for contracts out to a cleaning company. I have been told by the manager at the cleaning company that most of their employees turn down raises because it can effect their government benefits.

    I hate not knowing details till the last minute.

    The latest I have booked a wedding was 3 weeks prior. They had an issue and I happened to be available as I was getting back from vacation the day before. When they called, I told them I would do it but I require full payment and all planning notes to be done 3 weeks prior to a wedding. They...

    Last nights' gig

    That's great. I had one last year where the 94 year old Grandpa had been a ballroom dancer. His wife had died over 20 years prior and he hadn't danced since. We played him and his wife's favorite song to dance to, Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White. He danced the whole song with his daughter...

    6x18 vs 9x18 Uplight comparison

    They went about 5.5 hours. The 6x18 had 5% left when the 9X18 finished. Next test will be one color and all color. The 6x18 does not have a charging light. The 9x18 does. I haven't noticed them running down when not in use. I generally put them away after a gig, then the day before the next gig...

    6x18 vs 9x18 Uplight comparison

    If you have the ones from Both Lighting, they are 25 degree lenses. I am doing some more testing. Right now I have had them on for 3 hours in flash mode, which just rotates through each color at a high speed. The vendor claims 4 hours of constant flash on the battery. So for 3 hours and them...

    What do you think about this?

    I like this review "You can see thru the 'satin' fabric and see the supports...... which are not supportive at all and look like the leaning tower of prom". I would think you could build something more durable and have the same look.

    Can you brand the images a little better than just straight text?
