Wedding Season

Category: By Thomas Pham
The month of August was definitely one of the most wedding packed months I've ever seen. The 08-08-08 day was a huge factor for this according to an Asian couple I met (goodluck). We love to do weddings, although we don't market them as much. This season, Prodigy was hired to do a Korean wedding on 08-09-08 @ the Sheraton of Anaheim. It was a long two room setup.

The first setup was in the cocktail room which had an open bar and food consisting mostly of snacks. I DJed for this one as a precursor to the main reception room. It was a very basic setup, two speakers, some uplighting, and my wheels.
Our second setup was in the main hall. We setup 4 Macs to color the room according to the Bride's wants/theme (green and purple). This actually looked a lot better than I thought it would, covering the entire room top to bottom. I assumed we would have a really hard time coloring a room that was so large, but with the Macs, brightness and coloring was definitely not a problem. Behind the long table where the bride/groom sat we also colored the entire wall a nice light calm green complementing the moving head spray really nicely. I think we would do a similar setup for our next event.

Kedar spun music videos on the 4 plasmas equally distributed across the room. He also designed many different pictures/wallpapers that we were able to use during dinner time to display photos of the bridge and groom. The couple had a video made, and so we played that which was about 7 minutes. The video was by far the best I've ever seen in the wedding industry, and the photo team was awesome. Let me know if anyone is getting married, and wouldn't mind spending some extra money on memorabilia thats worth while.

All in all, the event was a sucess. Did it with just the two of us, but had a great time doing it. $200 in tip never hurts either. View Comments
