Description

The flagship eight-hour wedding entertainment package combines DJ, MC, and live cello with the most extensive lighting and effects spread on offer. Designed around a Berklee-trained cellist, beatboxer, and DJ with twenty years of stage experience, this tier turns a wedding into a destination-quality production with custom musical moments, full venue uplighting, advanced dance lighting, and theatrical effects.

What is included

Eight hours of DJ and MC services, a main reception sound system, a separate ceremony sound system with wireless lapel and handheld mics, intelligent dance lighting (14 lights), 24 venue uplights, projectors, bubble effects, a disco ball, planning meetings, and travel up to four hours roundtrip across California.

Live cello, beatbox, and DJ across the full event

Eight hours of coverage means cello can show up across multiple moments. Classical processional and recessional, a live cocktail-hour set, a feature performance during dinner, and live cello textures layered into the dance set are all on the table. Loop pedal performance and beatbox add depth that pre-recorded tracks simply cannot reach.

Eight hours of DJ and MC services

Two extra hours over the lower tiers means full ceremony coverage, an extended cocktail and dinner program, and a longer dance set. The MC announces every milestone, partners with your planner, and keeps the timeline tight from welcome music to last call. Energy is managed minute by minute.

Main reception sound system

A professional reception sound system handles indoor ballrooms, garden tents, vineyard estates, and waterfront venues. Audio is balanced for both spoken word and dance volume, with separate channels for microphones and music so toasts and tracks both come through clean.

Ceremony sound system with wireless lapel and handheld mic

A dedicated ceremony rig is included with a wireless lapel mic for the officiant, a wireless handheld for vows or readings, and music playback for processional, ceremony interludes, and recessional. The system is calibrated for the ceremony space, indoor or outdoor.

Intelligent dance lighting (14 lights)

Fourteen programmable intelligent lights deliver a full lighting design for the dance floor and surrounding room. Cues are programmed to your aesthetic and synced with the music, with dynamic color, pattern, and movement changes that build energy across the night.

24 venue uplights

Twenty-four uplights wash walls, columns, ceilings, and architectural features in a chosen color palette. The denser uplight count supports larger venues, ballrooms, tents, and outdoor spaces with even saturated color, and the look can shift across the night from dinner-warm tones to high-energy dance sweeps.

Projectors, bubbles, and disco ball

The flagship tier brings the extras that turn a reception into a show. Projectors enable custom monograms, photo loops, or pattern washes on walls and dance-floor surfaces. Bubble effects add a magical, photogenic touch for first dances or sendoffs. A disco ball delivers a classic light effect that photographs beautifully and ties the look together.

Planning meetings and consultations

Planning is collaborative across multiple meetings to walk through music preferences, must-play list, do-not-play notes, parent dances, lighting palette, ceremony cues, custom song requests, projector content, and run-of-show timing. The cellist can learn custom processional, recessional, or first-dance arrangements.

Perfect for

Couples planning a destination-quality wedding where music, lighting, and stage effects are headline features. Especially popular for full-day weddings with a separate ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception, where coordinated sound and lighting across multiple rooms makes a measurable difference. Sized for 30 to 300 guests across most venues.

Frequently asked questions

What can the projectors display? Custom monograms, photo loops, animated pattern washes, and decorative motifs. Content is finalized during planning meetings.

How do bubbles work in an indoor venue? Bubble machines are positioned and timed to specific moments (first dance, sendoff) so the venue stays clean. Outdoor use is also supported.

Can the cello and DJ run simultaneously? Yes. The setup supports live cello layered over DJ programming for unique transitions and feature moments.

Why couples book this package

Eight hours of coverage, full ceremony plus reception sound, twenty-four uplights, fourteen intelligent dance lights, projectors, bubbles, and a disco ball wrapped into one tier delivers a destination-quality production without coordinating multiple vendors. With twenty years of stage experience and a five-star track record, this is the most-booked flagship for couples who treat their wedding as a once-in-a-lifetime show.
