ADH - Video Screen? and Curtain?

[*Pixiedust1438*]

Has anyone had a video screen used at their reception? If so, how much did it cost and what did you use it for? (home video, pictures, music videos?) DF wants one and I think it would be neat especially if the cost is reasonable, and especially because I am not a fan of that big blue curtain that covers the stage at ADH... which brings me to my second question... Is it possible to have the curtain open even though we are not using the stage for a band or anything? I really prefer pictures I have seen where it is open rather than closed. Any insight on this?

When we were originally going to use ADH in 2009, there was an option on whether or not we wanted the curtain opened/closed. I wanted it open and we weren't going to use the stage at all, it's just that the curtain didn't match anything that we had going for us.

I'm not too sure on the video screen, but I'm sure someone knows!

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's hideous and needs to be open!

Thank goodness--gotta have it open!!!

helloirishkitty-do you know if the bride and the groom and the bridal party can have their table on the stage? Or if it's blocked off from our use? (I can only imagine Disney liabilities...) But we and the bridal party make 16 and I don't want to take up more dance floor--I think it'd be neat if we were all seated on stage like stars

I was thinking of doing this too because I really don't want any tables on the dance floor. I guess I'll send my planner an email soon and ask. I don't think I really care either way if the curtain is up or down, but my thing is that if it is up, people might be expecting a band to play or something to happen.

I would appreciate it if you could you PM me once you find out?! I'd love to know.

Ok, I'll try to remember to email her sometime this weekend so she'll get it first thing Monday morning. I have to update them on my new address anyway and I keep forgetting.

Okay so I FINALLY emailed my planner and this is what I got, straight from the email:

1) We are having our reception at Atlantic Dance Hall, and were wondering what we could do about the stage; Since we will be having a DJ instead of a band, is it possible to have the curtain raised even though the stage will not be utilized?



I will check into this, I don’t think there is an issue with having the curtain opened (it opens from the side) as long as there is not equipment for anything or future events.

Also, is it possible to put the bridal party table on the stage instead of having it on the dance floor?



Unfortunately, due to safety reasons we cannot permit guests on the stage at Atlantic Dance Hall.

Boooo! But I can understand their safety concerns.

Thanks for relaying the information! It's greatly appreciated!

I'm glad to hear it *hopefully* isn't an issue to have the curtain raised. Yay!
