	Musical cues for the introduction of the Bridal Party.
	Musical cues for speeches.
	Co-ordinate proceedings in the case of visual obstructions, off-centre dance floors and / or awkwardly shaped rooms.

	Flexibility when the dance floor is located in a separate room to the main reception.
	Enable the MC to host the evening from a central point and co-ordinate with the venue.

Add to your package choice: $400.00 + $40.00 GST = $440.00

Combination Packages

We can arrange a combination of a band and a DJ. Please call us to discuss your requirements but note that about SIX Month’s notice is usually required to ensure availability!

Special Packages

Having your reception on board a boat? Having the ceremony on deck? We can tailor a package that gives you ceremony music, microphone for the celebrant and your exchange of vows, plus your on-board reception entertainment. We also have a special package if you are getting married on Puffing Billy. In fact we are here to help wherever you decide to tie the knot. Please call us for advice and suggestions especially if you are planning something slightly different.

Special Effects Only Package

$748.00 GST Inclusive

If you have a preference for live music, but would still like some special effects to create a memorable photographic moment, then this package may well be what you are after.

$680.00 + $68.00 GST = $748.00

	One Black Tie Events Australia Technician for the operation of the dry ice machine and Showering Cannons. Maximum attendance time included is 2 hours. For attendance over 2 hours please refer to Quality Services. The Compere will co-ordinate with the band and photographer(s) for maximum effect.
	Dry Ice – As you make your way onto the dance floor for your Bridal Waltz, dry ice is filtered out at ground level. This effect usually lasts for approximately 4 min. satisfying the length of the normal song. With this package we supply 4 x 2.5kg blocks of dry ice.
	Showering Cannons- at a stage during the bridal waltz, two cannons filled with specially prepared filler, including real rose petals, will explode and shower the Bride and Groom on the dance floor. You even have a choice in complimentary extra additives for the cannons, for example, snowflakes or glitter (subject to the venue's approval).
	Special FX Light - As most bands / duos etc do not provide lighting, we will supply one Special FX light. This will be shone at floor level for the duration of the Bridal Waltz to enhance the appearance and effect of the dry ice. Please note that there is no price reduction if the lighting is not required.

Important - Your venue must approve of the use of these special effects. It is your responsibility to check before you book. It is suggested that the Bridal Waltz be done after entrée, forming a short music bracket between courses. This has proven to the best time for Special Effects affording a controlled situation and the full attention of your guests. On completion we are able to clear the dance floor and prevent the spread of petals / flutter etc throughout the venue. Sometimes dry ice can form a thin film, especially on highly polished surfaces and it is important that we are able to prepare the area for the next set of dancing.

Large Functions

Our 600-watt system is more than adequate for the majority of wedding receptions of up to 250 people. Functions over this number may require your consideration of upgrading to a 1200-watt system. Please see the appendix for recommendations.
