Gig Log: Last gig of 2011
Yesterday we did our last wedding for 2011. 2011 was a great year for us with and we’re thankful to the people that trust us be a part of their big days. We took care of both the ceremony and reception. For the ceremony we used our Bose PA system for the first time. It worked amazingly well and did cover the 150 people easily in the open yard area.
The reception took place in the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel Ballroom. I was excited to get into this room and try to design the lighting because it is already a very nice room and we could take advantage of the lighting in the room already.
A lot of venue do not allow the lights to be dimmed. This one could. The bride wanted a neutral color for uplighting. I was given the choices of yellow or orange. Not many choices for a room with dark brown wood walls. Usually colors like purple or blue do very well in this room. The yellow did not show well on the wood and the orange color made the room look like an old dingy restaurant. I accidentally used white to uplight this room and it worked. Once it was okayed by the bride we made it work. This is the first time we used white to uplight a room.
Here is a picture of what we did with the head table.
Here are some pictures of the dance floor during the dancing part of the program.
A great way to end the year. Congrats to Hayden and Elyse on their marriage! Mahalo for the opportunity to close the year off working with a great couple.
