Green Acres Barn Event Center
Overview:
From DJ Mike H:
Call ahead to ask where cocktail hour will be. Dinner/dance is always upstairs, but cocktail hour is usually downstairs. If that's the case, they have a sound system that you can plug into and a microphone that goes through those speakers you can make announcements for. However, if for whatever reason, the sound system isn't working, have one of your speakers ready for backup.
You'll have to make the announcement to get people to move upstairs with their microphone. Test it out and make sure it's loud enough because there will be a lot of people downstairs and all of their talking will be loud.
It's a pretty decent sized room once you get upstairs. As always, make sure the microphone is loud enough and that everyone in the back can hear you.
You might be set up by this statue of a guy playing piano which makes it a little more difficult to get around. Don't step on the base of this statue. You're going to want to because it's more convenient when you need to get places and it might not seem like a big deal, but they'd rather you didn't. I know from experience :)
Have fun and let me know if you have more questions!
Load-In:
Best place to load-in will be behind the barn at the back door. Once you're in, there's an elevator very close to that door to take your equipment upstairs to the main dinner/dance area.
Challenges:
Cocktail hour is downstairs, everything else is upstairs. They do have a microphone for downstairs and you can plug an iPod/laptop into their house system. However, if something isn't working with the house system, grab your own speaker and play some music from that. The microphone should be fine, but I've heard instances where people have had issues with their system.
Extra Venue Call Questions:
Where is the cocktail hour taking place?
Can I plug an iPod or laptop into your house system for cocktail hour? (assuming it's downstairs)
