Yours won't be just another cookie-cutter wedding -- here are some unique ideas to make your wedding a standout celebration.
A Luxe Reception Lounge
Give guests a place to mingle between dance breaks by creating a lounge area at your reception. Fill the space with couches or chairs and plenty of pillows to sink into. It's the perfect way to keep everyone in on the party even when they're resting. Really want to wow 'em? Close off the area with curtains to create a VIP vibe.
Reception Ushers
You may already be planning to have your ushers escort guests to their ceremony seats, but consider having reception ushers. These "live escort cards" walk guests to their tables for an upscale restaurant experience. Ask your reception venue or caterer if its waitstaff can do this double duty, or assign a few ushers to the job.
Guest Transportation
If you're planning on shuttling your guests from the ceremony to the reception, make the journey part of the fun by renting some seriously cool mass transportation. Take wedding transportation to new heights with a hot air balloon ride. Or, if it'll suit your wedding style, get nostalgic with some charming yellow school buses. And for extra flair, customize the ride by playing fun music or decking out the bus with a sign that reads, "Sarah and John's wedding or bust!"
So you’ve done it. You’ve spent countless hours writing and recording a stellar EP for your new band. You’ve picked a name. You’ve built a website and set up your social media profiles. You even have a handful of shows booked in your area in the next couple of months. You and your team are excited to get this musical endeavor off the ground.
Maybe you are a little concerned that the only interested parties will be your friends and your family, so you’ve been researching how to market your music to fans that will become devoted listeners and followers. And you hit a wall. Marketing your music is a daunting and time consuming task, with a lot of conflicting information on the best practices. Hiring out a marketing firm to take care of it for you can be rather expensive, and since your budget is limited, you’re not sure where to turn. Click on the link below to read more…

You’re on Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Vine, Instagram, and a handful of other platforms you barely remember signing up for. Maybe you’re communicating with fans with Snapchat, uploading videos to YouTube, and streaming live concerts via Periscope or Meerkat.
Yes, you have an “online presence” — but so does every other artist in the world.
That’s okay. Social media is integral to a musician’s success these days. But total reliance on social media is an all-too-common mistake a lot of new bands make. What these platforms do not provide you with, of course, is a website: an online headquarters for your music, a space that you control for the long haul.

My surprise for my wife Vanessa on our wedding day. All of Vanessa's close friends and family rehearsed for a month in secret, leading up to the reception. What we lack in polish, we hopefully make up for in joy and love. In any event, everyone in this video has one thing in common: We'd do anything to show Vanessa how much we love her.
When you need to organize audio equipment for a conference presentation, you may wonder whether you should buy the equipment you need or rent it. There are pros and cons for both options, but it can be hard to ignore all the noise and determine what best suits your needs.
When deciding whether to rent or buy audio equipment, you need to consider a number of factors, including cost, your technical capability and your current and future needs.
Is Renting Audio Equipment Simpler?
Renting audio equipment can ultimately result in fewer hassles. By renting, you don’t have to worry about finding storage space for your equipment when you’re not using it. And companies that rent equipment can usually transport it to the venue where it’s needed so you don’t have to worry about lugging heavy speakers around either. They may also be able to set up the equipment and operate it.

Sound For Your Reception
Our quick research shows that a good DJ in Arizona charges $600-$900 or more just for one night. If you're on a budget and need to save money, renting high-quality, professional DJ equipment may be your best solution -- and it's easy to set up and completely user friendly!
Just hook up your laptop or iPod to run music all night. Each system comes with a microphone you can use to MC your entire event. The setup is color coded and all you really need to know is how to use the volume knobs. It's easy!

Sound for Your Ceremony
One thing is for certain: Your wedding ceremony will only happen once. There will be no “take two”. After all the time you spent preparing the perfect ceremony and wedding vows, what good is it if your guests can't hear?
Since weddings are a big part of our business, we know all the things that can go wrong with sound. Whether you're looking for a simple setup or you want us to wire you up with low-profile wireless microphones, we'll make sure that your wedding sounds perfect!

Lights For Your Dance Floor
Next to having the right music, there's no better way to guarantee that your guests will get out on the dance floor than by having an amazing light show. From color changing lights, strobe effects, to moving effect lights that project patterns on the ceiling and floor, we promise to fill your dance floor with that professional nightclub look.
These packages can be set to automatically run to your music -- or, you can also create customized programs in DMX mode.

Uplighting For Your Venue
Transform an ordinary wedding venue into something extraordinary! Adding LED uplighting is a simple and affordable way to enhance the atmosphere and make walls and other architectural features glow like a nightclub.
Our LED uplights can be set to a color that matches your theme or cycle through colors of your choice. For a fraction of the cost of extra flowers, favors, or other types of decorations, you can add the elegance and impact of light to your wedding venue.

Having a professional sound system at your wedding is the single best way to add value and atmosphere to your event. Even if you’re on a budget, we offer a complete solution for you to have great music at your wedding.
What We Provide for LGBT Weddings in Arizona
Professional Sound Systems: Prices range from $150 for a system that can handle a gathering of 200, to $200 for one than can reach a crowd of 500+. Larger systems are also available on request. Each includes two speakers, a mixer/power amp, a microphone, and all the cables and stands needed. Click here for sound system packages.
Easy Instructions: If you know how to run your iPod, CD Player, or laptop, then you already know most of what you have to do. The ability to turn the volume up is the second most complicated thing -- but it's no different than the one on your car radio.
Optional Delivery and Setup: For an additional fee, we can deliver, set up, and pick up the equipment at the end of the night. If you need to save even more money, you can do this yourself. It's EASY to set up and I'll show you how in minutes!
What You Provide
The Music: Music can be run from your iPod, iPad, CD Player, laptop, or just about any other music device you have. Each system has the ability to run one or several different music devices at the same time.
The Disc Jockey: You probably have a friend or family member who would make a great disc jockey. If you don't want a DJ, you can also just let the music run on it's own.
You’ve put time and effort into the planning of this Wedding, so make sure you have a great sounding system to really add value to your event!
