Equipment:
<- Smoke/Fog Machine Vs Dry
Ice
A smoke machine or fog machine adds a nice
atmosphere to the dance floor. Fog unlike dry ice rises all
the way to the ceiling generally, but is much easier to operate,
is cheaper and has a longer life span meaning you can use it
throughout the night.
Dry Ice machine uses (surprisingly)
"dry ice" which is loaded in its hopper and
submerged into the heated water tank by way of the external lever.
From the front of the unit comes a low lying "fog" that will
travel the floor, roll off a stage or stand, and drop to the
lowest point of the ground. This is perfect for slow dances as the
fog generally stays below you knees, making it ideal for pictures
(floating on a cloud). However, it can only be used once until the
ice inside the machine is gone and is more costly compared to fog
machine.
<- Advantages of Intelligent
Lighting:
Intelligent lighting creates a dynamic atmosphere as
the light can create patters, designs and well as move
intelligently with the beat of the music. The light can transform
in to spot lights and well as offer 12 different colours. It can
also rotate 360 degrees and hold more then 50 different design
patterns which can change the environment of the dance floor for
every song.
<- Lasers
Lasers can add a great effect on the dance floor, but
it is highly recommended that along with the laser machine you
also get a fog machine. Lasers reflect off the fog to make
them more visible to the audience. The darker it is the
better lasers work.
<- Filler/Lobby Speakers
Filler speakers tend to be in the back two corners of
the hall to fill out the sound especially in long or wide hall
where sound is hard to travel. They are necessary for big
halls to send the sound to the back where the main speakers main
not have enough reach (mainly during speeches) and the sound level
can be adjusted at anytime. They can also be used for the
lobby for background music before you allow people in to the main
hall.
<- Fireworks
Now, fireworks are being used a lot less at weddings
due to the risk factor. Many halls do not allow fireworks
due to fire hazards ie. their roof of the hall being too low and
such. Another major concern for hall owners is kids running
around and getting in the way of the fireworks and if anything
happens to those kids repercussions will take place - that is why
many hall owners do not allow it but ask hall owners if they allow
it.

<- Remember if you hire a Generic Indian Video Guy
and DJ combo then YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE QUALITY OF DJ FOR
YOUR PARTY! Many Indian Video guys grab their family friend to run
the music. While some of these DJ's may be adequate, they are not
professional DJ's, even if it says so on their card. |
