Tony and Christine’s Wedding

Another wedding goes down in the history books. The Chicago Historical Museum was the site of Tony and Christine’s wedding where fig media did both video and dj. I, Jonathan Hood, with the help of one of our new interns, Beth, provided the audio for the day. The ceremony was outside in the rear of the museum and was set up in a in-the-round theatre style. We provided a mic for the ceremony, while musicians performed the music. The officiant was using a handheld, but was holding it down by his waist. I told him a couple times, before and during, to hold it closer to his mouth. Not sure why he didn’t, but the audio wasn’t that great. We turned up the mic as loud as we could, but it was pretty hot, and we were bordering on feedback.

Dancing was a little difficult in getting things started. We were playing a variety of stuff, starting off with some Rat Pack stuff, hitting some Motown and classic rock, through in some pop and then brought it home with Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough which brought everyone out. It was cool watching this process because guests were bobbing their heads at their tables and looked like they were on the verge of coming out, they just needed the right song. Michael Jackson did the trick. Once the guests were out, they stayed out the whole night. Current pop was the flavor of the evening, based mostly off of the bride and groom’s play list.
