We had the wonderful opportunity to be part of the service provider team as official music and sound equipment providers …..that made Zetske Van Pletsen (Marcel from 7de Laan) and Altus Theart (Faffa from Getroud met Rugby, Bakgat, Roepman, Tree Aan) wedding day on 6 January 2012 more special.
Find us in Sarie Magazine of 13 February 2012 pg 29
We arrived at 10:00 in the morning @ Oxbow Country Estate and had a very tight schedule to adhere to because of all the activities that was planned by Zetske and Margaux the wedding planner.
First we had to set up in the function hall and we had quite an elaborate setup with 3 light trussing and some par can lights with mood lights for atmosphere and color.

The chapel setup was quite a challenge because of the location. The distance from the nearest power point was about 50m and we had the local and international performer Joseph Clarke that sang 2 songs in the chapel and we also had a guitarist and singer that sang while Zetske entered the ceremony area concentration levels had to be very high to pull this off. BUT WE DID !!!
At 13:30 we had our first sound check and we practised the entering of the groomsmen into the reception hall on the song “Men In Black – By Will Smith” and we also did 2 separate sound checks with Joseph Clark and Altus Theart they sang 2 surprise songs during the reception.
Then there was a quick run through with the MC and a comedic interview that involved 10 or so songs to be played during the reception was rehearsed.
14:00 second sound check in the chapel area with the other 2 singers went smooth and at last I had 30 minutes to relax and go through the “script” that Zetske provided me before the wedding.
15:00 guests started to arrive at the ceremony area and we played some classical music…..at first we thought everything couldn’t be more perfect but…..a loose cloud decided to spoil our fun and it started raining. The wedding planners from Blank Canvas were quickly there to provide umbrellas but luckily the rain went away for a while.
Suddenly the moment of truth arrived and the bridesmaids entered the ceremony with grace while Joseph Clark sang “Feeling Good” ….Zetske appeared from behind the trees and walked alone …..her father Pierre van Pletzen (Oom Oubaas from 7de laan) jumped up and accompanied her down the isle while Deist sang “Cannonball” and she met a eagerly awaited Altus with the biggest smile I have ever seen on a grooms face.
Setup in the function Hall

The ceremony was led by Ds. Gideon Basson and went as smooth as any bridal couple would want their wedding ceremony to go.
The guests then moved to the cocktail hour area where Deist entertained them again with his magical voice and wonderful guitar playing.
18:15 finally guest started to enter the reception hall and the reception started with a bang…the bridesmaids entered on “Lets Twist Again” and after them the groomsmen on “Men In Black”
