Philip Perkins Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 New use for 664 (for me), PA mixer @ my son's wedding. Why? Long story, mission creep and so on. Lavs, handhelds, playback, rec isos for the friends-shooting-with-DSLRs, feed the speakers. I sat the 664 bag on a crate in front of me in the front row and was Dad-of-Groom and PA-boy at the same time. What we do for our kids….3 setups (ceremony, dinner, dance), stay until it's all over to pack up the rental speakers etc. Fun times that I'm glad are over…. Here's why I did it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Hirtenstein Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 congrats! if you have any local DJ and florist recommendations let me know (getting hitched in October) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 My kid found a really cool place near Hopland (halfway betw Cloverdale and Ukiah on 101) that was beautiful, reasonable and ok with their DIY style. I think the place is owned by the Brutocao (sp?) winery. There's a website for the place--highly recommended, but it books up fast for the reasons mentioned above--my son booked this place nearly a year andf a half ago to get June 21 2014 (longest daylight of the year!). The DJ was a pal of my son's (not a pro I think), but I can ask about the florist, who did a great job. Don't do the sound for your own wedding….. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiomprd Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 OK, I'm noticing something here... we always suggest hiring a Professional who will bring the proper tools for the gig. What we are discussing here is not hiring the pro, and using the wrong tools for the job. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones..?

Philip Perkins Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 OK, sure, tell your kid you won't help him at his wedding…... ….and yes, if it had been his youtube no-budg directorial debut movie instead of his wedding he was asking for help with I probably would have done that too.. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Doesn't a wedding count as a passion project? the food is probably better than a Subway tuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
