Is anyone doing anything special for the Grand Entrance.
I know at CB they have a room that you can come up from the ground.

I was thinking, right after they have metioned the party, right before we are called, we have african dancers perform a routine, with drums, and then they like form 2 lines in which FH and I will walk down the middle and then they disappear ?

am I dreaming ? what do you want to do ?

I LOVE that idea! You should post something on craigs list. They have a whole section for 'gigs' plus it's free to post on there! I'm sure you'll have a lot of emails from there!

Our RH is CLM and they bring us to the hall towards the end of the cocktail hour on a boat! Everyone is inside eating then they call everyone out and we pull up to the dock! Then everyone is brought into the reception room for the party and we do our entrance there!

Thats right, my RH is CLM also, and the boat arrivals dont begin until may, but Lou wrote in the contract if weather permits, I can do the boat arrival . . .hmmm,

Ok, so I just moved all the dancers outside on the deck to perform. THe dancers will draw everyone's attention, and just as they are done, POOF here we are !!!

LOL i really think it will be a WOW factor...having the guests outside on the dock by the water, your yacht pulling up with you and FH and then African dancers moving up the dock then they can even go up by your guests

I think the fire eaters should come before you, you dont want the attention on someone else after you enter, the bad part is tha you dont get to see the performance . . .hmmm
