DJ & Entertainment Planning Guide
As an experienced luxury wedding DJ, I know exactly how to make The Arcade sound and look incredible. Here is my insider advice for this specific venue.
Acoustics & Sound
The massive glass atrium creates unique acoustical challenges. I utilize strategic speaker placement and digital sound processing to ensure speeches are crystal clear and the music is full and rich without echoing excessively.
Social Booth Placement
A Social Booth makes for a fun time. It is normally placed in a corner on either side of the staircase on the Superior Ave side, providing easy guest access and incredible entertainment without disrupting the elegant dining atmosphere.
Floorplan & Flow
I recommend placing the DJ setup underneath the bridge with dance floor in the center of the lower level. I am also capable of being setup to the side of the Grand Staircase if the dance floor is going to be at the bottom of those stairs. Either layout allows for excellent guest flow while keeping the energy focused where the action is.
