Ceremony Services

Blogging is rather new to me, so please forgive me if I don't post often enough. But I wanted to share a couple things regarding the Service Professionals in Northern Michigan and I wanted to talk about Wedding Ceremony services.

Our friends at Stafford's Perry Hotel

In our business as Wedding Disc Jockey specialists, we see and meet a lot of the Food and Beverage service professionals. In the Little Traverse Bay area, it seems that the level of service is second to none. Many of the folks we run into at weddings have been trained or worked at one time or another for the famous Stafford's Hospitality Group. As these professionals have moved on from the Stafford's organization, they've taken their experience and training with them... and they are all fantastic! We've worked very closely this year with a stand out company called Sweetwater Catering. Matthew and his staff are terrific and we look forward to the coming seasons working with them.

Here's the thing... the food and beverage service Professionals and us (as DJ's and Emcees) need to work closely together and be on the same page. Timing is crucial to a kitchen staff and communication and planning are extremely important when it comes to feeding 300 people at your wedding reception.

One of the things that we here at Pluister Entertainment have been focusing on is Wedding Ceremony Service. We get a large number of requests for a sound system and microphones on the beach or back-yard or even remote locations. I've trained our staff to meet the needs of our clients with regards to Ceremony services.

Groom singing Bride's Processional

Here are a couple examples: DJ Sammy K and I served a couple this season from Texas at the Inn at Bay Harbor. The groom and his family were musicians and the groom wanted to sing the processional for his Bride. Sam and I set up a small sound system on the beach and sound checked with the groom singing over his backing instrumental track. We had other microphones set up for another couple who were doing a reading and another singer and backing track. Our sound system has some effects for vocals like reverb and echo. We brought a little effect onto the voices and everything sounded outstanding.

Battery Powered Sound System

Another example: My daughter, Lindsay and I served a nice couple for their wedding Ceremony on the beach in Ponshewang. We had no access to a power outlet, so I brought my battery powered sound system and microphones. The couple and I planned their prelude music, had the perfect song for the Bridesmaids to walk to and an amazing edit of "True Companion" by Marc Cohn for the Bride's entrance. The self powered sound system worked perfectly with enough volume so everyone could hear.


We here at Pluister Entertainment will always attend the Ceremony rehearsal, which is typically the evening before Wedding Day. We feel that it's a very important time for us to get any final details and work out the timing of songs for procession. It's also very important for us to get to know the families and attendants. The closer connected we are to our clients, the better we are able to serve.

Wedding Ceremony service prices range from $300 - $500 depending upon your needs. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss your Northern Michigan Wedding. www.plu-ent.com
