On the night

How theseformatsrun.

  1. Arrival

    Guests arrive to a dressed room and a background music set. The MC and the coordinator hold the timing of the speeches with you.

  2. Formal part

    Speeches, awards and the toast run from the stage with two microphones and a lectern. We keep the segment to the minutes agreed in the run sheet.

  3. Open floor

    After the formal part the room opens up: music set, photo wall and the themed activities you selected.

The host and the animators run the program; your coordinator only has to confirm the floor plan and the timings. Worked timelines

FAQ

Questionsabout thisfamily.

Can you work with our own MC?

Yes. Our coordinator builds the run sheet with your MC and we supply the microphones, the lectern and the sound. Say so in the enquiry and the host is removed from the package.

Is the band live?

The Gatsby format is built on a DJ set of the period plus a saxophone player for two 30-minute sets. A full live band is a separate position and is priced on request.
