Beautiful, Successful Wedding @ Fullerton Arboretum

By


Many things came together to make this an amazing wedding. Everyone had a great time!

It was fun for me to look for the prime factor contributing to its success.  Actually it wasn’t hard to find, it was staring me in the face as I edited this video.

DJ Dance Floor Surround Sound

The bride and her groom are both artists and performers. Very creative individuals who made excellent choices.  For her wedding reception the bride chose Elegant Music Dance Floor Surround Sound a four speaker setup. Speakers are placed at each corner of the dance floor facing inward toward dancers away from seated guests.  Sound is focused on the dance floor where it should be.  Dancers can dance and seated guests can talk.

Though very effective I can’t say that dance floor surround sound was the only factor contributing to the success of this wedding.

Swing Dance Lessons

The bride made arrangements for guests to receive swing dance lessons during the cocktail hour.  A great idea. But was this the only factor that contributed to an amazing evening?

There was a beautiful checker dance floor and overhead lighting, another great idea! But was this the primary factor in the success of this event?

The bride and her father love to dance.  The guests love to dance. They brought lots of kids and kids will dance to anything!  Frankly I think the father of the bride was the biggest kid on the dance floor!

I can say, that a valuable gift was brought by each and every person who attended this wedding.  I can say with certainty that it was the guests themselves.  Their fun loving attitude contributed immeasurably to this celebration.

It was their presence that was the primary factor in the success of this event.

Many factors came together beautifully.  At the end of the evening the father of the bride and I discussed this and we agreed that “The whole was certainly greater than the sum if its parts.”

It all started with 2 people deciding to get married.  They invited people who enjoy the company of each other and who know how to have a good time!

The success of this wedding was a group effort.

Altadena Wedding DJ Eric Zimmermann @ The Altadena Country Club

Altadena Wedding Ceremony Picture from the BalconyThis is a beautiful wedding location just 5 minutes from my home in Altadena.

I was referred to Andrea and Wesley as a DJ by their wedding coordinator Paula Klein. Part of our service at Elegant Music includes meeting and discussing music options and in some cases this also includes live performance to workout music. Andrea and Wesley were intending on DJ music for their whole wedding. I let them know that they had the option of live music also. Two pieces of music they had chosen for their wedding ceremony processionals were “Thousand Years” by Christina Peri and “Pachelbel Canon”. I played these for them on the piano. They said they hadn’t considered live music but on hearing Solo Piano versions of these songs they decided on the live music option for their wedding ceremony music.

DJ Video – Wedding in Temecula Wine Country

The Ponte Estate Family Winery in Temecula is a beautiful location for a wedding.

Hello. My name is Eric Zimmermann. I had a lot of fun playing dance music at this wedding. There are 3 parts to my DJ service. One of these is DJ Dance Floor Surround Sound. This video answers these important questions:

  • What is the solution for a loud wedding reception?
  • How can dancers dance and seated guests talk in the same room?
  • What is dance floor surround sound?
  • How can dance floor surround enhance any special event?

Great dance music and great sound are only part of a successful event. Find out about all the parts and how they come together.

Valuable Reference & Wedding Planning Resource

By

Wedding Reception Dancers Chrystal Ballroom Biltmore Los AngelesPlanning a Successful Event.

If a picture is worth a thousand words.  Then I guess a moving picture is worth… more!

Talking about music is fun but trying to describe it really doesn’t replace hearing it; music is something to be experienced.   Seeing a performance on video is a reference and planning tool that helps the listener experience the music and instrumentation.

Harp With Strings

The Elegant Music Web Site has a Video Index.

There is one easy to find page where all of the video are organized by category.  Whether traditional music or something “outside the box” you can see many options and get ideas.

This is a handy link that can be e-mailed to anyone planning a special event.

See:  Elegant Music Video Index

This is a valuable reference to help anyone become familiar with Elegant Music services and is a step toward choosing music for that special event.
Okay, so if a picture is worth a thousand words and a moving picture is worth even more, then I guess a live performance is… “Even Better!”

Jazz Trio with Sax and VocalistMini Concert

Part of our service includes coming to our office where we play “Live”.  It is like a mini concert; we answer questions and help fine tune music choices.

See: Choosing Wedding Ceremony Music

Composing and Arranging for Quartet

Very often after hearing music and talking about music ideas come up.  A bride might not have thought that it would be possible to have an ensemble play a favorite song that she only knows as a recording or video; it may be a new concept that such a piece of music could be performed live for her wedding.
