- The timeline planning process on this event , along with coordinating with other vendors, was the longest, most detailed I've ever done.
Love the clear chairs!
Looks great! Nice job Brian! Thanks again!
Tight gig, nice venue!
thx BSR !!
Nice gig log Brian! Had a reception last Sunday. Clients needed 2 wireless mics as they were going to sing 4 duets throughout the evening. They were not available for sound check but luckily I made sure the gain was turned down a bit until I was able to adjust on the run once they started signing. They had a pianist perform their songs. I was a bit worried but it worked out well. Did you ever have any request such as this and did you charge extra as this isn't the norm.

Hello
I’d love to know what the extensive details were that were so overwhelming. Seems like other than getting whatever songs they wanted downloaded, a pretty straightforward night. Especially using house sound and lights with a tech onsite. I’d kill for one like that.
You know, if you were there & saw it, it would look straight forward & easy, too. It's all in the prep, though. This was a full custom job. No cookie cutter planning forms would have streamlined this process. Had to coordinate with the hall coordinator, videographer, A/V tech, catering, photographer & another coordinator (who was "let go" about a week into the process). There were logistics there that took time. The couple, along with the Groom's mother were also working with a choreographer, so there were special accommodations there as well. So, I'm working with all of these individuals, sometimes in conference calls, plus the company I'm subcontracting with making them aware of changes & charges. Usually, a planning session would start, then it would end because some kind of logistical issue. Sometimes, an issue would require another vendor's input. So, that meeting would have to be arranged. During those meetings, there were A, B & C options that the client would have to choose from, prompting yet another meeting. There were also quite a few time issues. Sometimes, there was too much time between things. Other times, just not enough. Every change shifted something in the schedule that needed to be addressed. I, of course would make suggestions that I felt would simplify things. Sometimes, they'd go with it. A few times, they'd initially go with it, then come up with something completely different that would prompt yet another change, or a snowball effect of multiple changes. Emails, texts, canceling family plans, phone conferences were happening for the better part of a month. The good news was that everyone was very cool & all other venders were real pros. Taking in less gear was nice, but as a pro, I was ready with everything I wound need anyway. I'm glad the gig looked easy, though. That was the goal in the end for all vendors involved :)
Maybe think about it like this: The couple has their own specific needs & wants. We deal with that all the time. Some are more straightforward than others. When working with an officiant, they have specific needs. We do that a lot, too. Catering has things that they need from us. Sometimes, it's as easy as having everyone seated for dinner. Other times, they have their own presentation that we need to help accommodate. The same can be said for other vendors, like photo booth, photography, Videographer, transportation services, and floral (all of which I worked with hands-on this time around). Now, add a venue that has sold a very specific presentation to the client, along with A/V & lighting, to the client. EVERYTHING needs to work around THAT. This ish takes time. If I said it was "overwhelming", I used the wrong word. It was time consuming, though & was obviously handled
Thanks for the detailed explanations Brian. I see what you mean.
@@briansredd Yep! So much goes on beforehand that the gig is seamless. All in the front-end planning...
Hi Brian what sort of column speakers is that u have in the truck, also wd they have been enough output to get u through the nite thanks.
EV Evolve 30M & for weddings under 150 people, I feel they work real well in most halls.
Thanks for the feed bk Brian.
jesus,those house speakers are atrocious.wtf.i used those,,,,,,,,back in the 90s
They were active JBL's with built in DSP, so I don't think they are any more than maybe 10 years old
