Vic & Ash's Wedding
Vic & Ash’s Wedding – A Jewish wedding among the historical beauty of Rippon Lea Estate.
Vic & Ash tied the knot at the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate.
Vic & Ash’s Wedding ceremony took place in the beautiful outside gardens at the Estate. The first step was for the team to set up White Padded Chairs on either side of a 10m White Carpet. This would guide the bride to our flower-decorated wooden arch at the end of the aisle.
Next, the team then set up our Tolix Bar Benches around the pool area to give guests a place to drink, eat, talk, and mingle around.
The main celebrations were in the Ballroom where our LED Curved Bar was strategically placed on one side of the dance floor while the band played on the other. We gave the room a facelift using furniture, bar areas, and plenty of lighting. The lighting added to the atmosphere and helped to set the right mood for the event.
All that was left was for the guests to arrive and enjoy the event. This was undoubtedly one hell of a party!!

Keep Things Simple Or Hire Experts
Some people love the idea of planning a party or wedding. Ont the other hand, some can’t stand the thought of all the work.
If you are planning a wedding there is a lot more work involved than planning a private party. So, Keep Things Simple or Hire Experts?
Did you know – The average wedding takes approx. 200 hours to plan and put on and the average party would take at least 50 hours plus.
It is very easy to underestimate the work involved in planning an event. With so many things to do in both the planning & execution, it adds up fast. If you’ve never planned an event before, it’s easy to miss things. Also, your event might not go how you planned it in your mind.
If you don’t love the idea of party planning keep everything as simple as possible. Keep choices to a minimum when it comes to food, drinks, décor, etc. This means that you won’t feel overwhelmed and over the party before it even happens.
If you want to make the whole experience stress free, hiring an expert is a good idea. They can do all the party, wedding or event planning for you. This will ensure that you won’t miss anything important. If you value your time it may be worth hiring a professional to help with your event.
Too many times I have seen clients not enjoy their wedding or event as they were too busy running it rather than enjoying it. They had to worry about the music or if there was enough ice or drinks at the bar or if the food was ready to serve. Even in their planning they spent hours and hours and just didn’t put any value on their time and didn’t enjoy the experience either.
If you do end up hiring experts to help you if you pick the right ones have faith that they know what they are talking about.
At Feel Good Events we tend to see the worst end results with customers who come in with a “I know what I want, just do what I tell you” attitude. You are normally hiring an expert because they know more than you, right?
Let them do what they do best and they will more than likely meet your expectations and quite often exceed them.
Throw A Wild Party Without Upsetting The Neighbours
Throw the party of the year without the unhappy neighbours!
Hosting a party at home comes with a lot of benefits. It’s cheaper, convenient, and you have no restrictions with your decorating! However, one of the biggest concerns people have is upsetting their neighbours. Whether it be through loud music, noisy guests, or even just the amount of people, there are a lot of factors that can lead to unhappy residents. That’s exactly why we’ve put together this guide to give you tips on how to throw a wild party without upsetting the neighbours! Keep reading for more.
Invite them to the party!
The best way to keep your neighbours happy is to invite them to the party. This is of course dependant on who your neighbours are and what your relationship with them is like. However, it’s an easy way to make sure there won’t be any complaints!
Keep them in the loop
Another simple way to keep your neighbours happy is to give them fair warning. A week or so before your party, let them know the start time, how many guests you expect, and how long you think it will go for. This way they can be prepared for the noise and they will be less likely to put in a complaint. They might even decide to go away for the weekend to avoid it altogether. Either way, they will appreciate the heads-up.
While you’re at it, it’s also a good idea to give your neighbours a contact number in case there are any issues on the night. Knowing they have a direct line of communication with you help to ease their worries. They will then be more likely to call you first rather than go straight to the police. If they do contact you with issues, make definite and permanent changes to fix the problem. Remember that your neighbours don’t have to put up with the disruption just because you told them you were having a party!
Let them know what time you'll be turning the music down - and stick to it!
The number one reason why your neighbours will complain about your party is the music. It’s one thing to have loud music playing earlier in the night, but once it gets late your neighbours will likely get fed up. One way to avoid complaints is to let your neighbours know what time you plan on turning the music down (or off) – and stick to this time! They will be more likely to put up with the noise if they know it’s going to stop at midnight. On the other hand, if you don’t give them a time they might think your music is going to go on all night. This could lead them to putting in complaint or even calling the police early on.
If you don’t want to turn your music down too much, a tip to contain the noise is to keep the speakers inside. If your music is outside in the backyard, you’re going to end up with more than just one upset neighbour. Another tip is to try and start your party earlier. Your neighbours will be more forgiving of music when it’s not blasting at 2am!
Limit your guest list
Though it may be tempting to invite everyone you know to your party, keep in mind that more people = more noise. Try and keep your guest list small to minimise the amount of noise and disruption you will cause to your neighbours. If you want to throw a huge party with hundreds of guests, hire a venue!
Have a plan for parking
If you’re expecting your guests to drive to your party, make sure you have a plan in place for parking. The last thing you need is for your guests to be blocking your neighbours’ driveways or just taking up a whole lot of space. A good way to avoid this is to encourage your guests to carpool, get an Uber or Taxi, or even public transport if it’s an option.
Control your guests
You are responsible for every guest at your party, even if you don’t know them. This means that if any of your guests are getting rowdy or out of control, it’s on you to keep them in check! When there is alcohol involved, it’s not uncommon for partygoers to become loud and disruptive. For the sake of your neighbours, do your best to keep this behaviour to a minimum and don’t hesitate to ask guests to leave. Although it might be a bit awkward, remember that you are the one that will have to deal with the consequences of unhappy neighbours, not your guests. You also always have the option of calling the police for assistance if things get out of hand.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, keeping your neighbours happy is all about being considerate and having respect. If you follow these steps, you are much less likely to have issues on the night. You might even get away with throwing more wild parties at home in the future!

How to Set Up Your Party Venue
How to set up your party venue correctly (whether it be a function venue or your home) is very important in creating a night to remember.
In this article we look at the do’s and don’ts on setting up your party space.
One of the biggest mistakes people make at their party and is always a party killer apart from having a venue that is too big is having enough chairs and tables for every single guest. Unless you are having a sit down dinner you don’t need enough chairs and tables for everyone.
Yes it is good to have some chairs but less is best and only use tables for food and presents.
Cocktail or bar tables are good for guests to stand around and will create more energy. People are more likely to dance if they are already standing up and moving around.
Another great tip and I have seen this work so many times is set up your bar next to or as close to the DJ and dancing area as possible. This will one keep your guests together but two will help get your party started allot quicker. Guests will always stand near the bar and having the DJ and bar at opposite ends of the hall or in different rooms will separate your guests too much.
If you want your guests to stay on the dance floor and it is another room or at the other end of the hall will mean your guests will have to leave the dance floor longer if they want to get a drink.
Think about smokers, where the toilets are and a chill out space.
We recently did a wedding on a roof top of a city building and the guests had to go down an elevator four floors to go to have a smoke. The bride told us that over 50% of the guests smoked which meant that half the guests would have spent half their night in a different space.
The same wedding also had the toilets over 100 metres away which would of also meant more guests were away from the party.
Between the toilets and the smokers the dance floor would have been very hard to keep going for the poor DJ with most of the guests somewhere else.
Think about a chill out space for your guests and where it might be. While it is good to have one of these especially for older guests ask yourself will it separate your party too much. If possible keep it as close as possible to where the party is. With the right equipment and layout you can have a chill out space all in the same room as the party if set up correctly.
The dance floor is usually the main focal point of any party so keep your guests as close or on it as possible so you can get and keep the party going.
I hope this helps in planning out your venue décor and furniture.
Wedding Party Energy
How To Turn Your Wedding Into One Big Party
So many couples come to us at Feel Good Events and tell us that they want their wedding to be one big party which is fair enough. With so much time and money spent on planning for their big day you can understand why couples want it to be memorable. Everyone’s idea of a great party is very different but if you want it to be exciting and more memorable you need to try and create great party energy at your wedding.
So What Is Great Wedding Energy
Have you ever been to a party, festival ,concert or any type of event and you are on the dance floor or in the crowd and the place is just buzzing? Everyone is dancing, going crazy and the atmosphere is just electric. This is good party energy!
Have you ever been to a party , wedding or event where everyone is sitting down all night or on their phones. Or maybe everyone is just standing around a fire or just chatting with very little happening? This is bad or low party energy!
This doesnt necessarily mean that its a terrible experience for your guests but these types of weddings are typically less memorable. These types of weddings or parties also encourage people to go home early which most wedding couples dont usually want.
Why Is Great Party Energy Important At Your Wedding
Good party energy is important at your wedding if you want to create a wedding to remember. If you think about any good party or wedding you have been you will most likely remember the ones that were going off! They are memorable because the guests were having fun and you could feel the good vibes in the room.
Party energy is important as it will help your guests feel connected, feel happy and most importantly feel good. When ever I am putting on my own parties or events from the very beginning of my planning I am thinking of what I can do to make sure the party has good party energy. Without good party energy at your wedding it is more likely to turn into just a meeting with food.
How Do You Create Great Party Energy At Your Wedding
There are many things that will influence your energy. Below are a few ways that you can influence things for the better.
The best thing and most important thing to do to create great party energy is stimulate your guests 5 senses in as many ways possible. The more your guests are stimulated in various ways the better your guests will feel and the better the party energy.
Wedding Venue –
One of the biggest mistakes you can make that will affect party energy is choosing a venue that is too big for the number of guests you have. The key thing is to keep your guests together without them feeling over crowded. Multiple spaces at a venue can also cause your guests to feel disconnected and separated. Not enough people in a massive event space will low the party energy and atmosphere every time.
If you have a venue that is both in doors and out the best option is to choose a venue where this can open up to be one space. If the venue you have chosen is in multiple rooms try and place the bar and entertainment in the same area as this is where guests will most likely hang out.
Wedding Format –
The biggest problems weddings have is they are usually sit down dinners which will always lower your party energy. Cocktail style weddings will work better for the reason that it will keep your guests moving. Your guests dancing, mingling and moving around will create lots of energy. Your guests sitting down eating and drinking all night will create a lot less energy.
Loading your guests up with a 3 or 4 course meal will definitely bring the energy down. Grazing tables and finger food throughout the night will not overload your guests with food all at one time.
Wedding Entertainment –
One of the easiest ways to get your wedding moving and create a great party atmosphere is with the right entertainment. If your guests are stimulated by the music and entertainment they will dance which has a massive affect on your party energy. Not to mention that dancing is the best form of exercise to make your guests feel good.
A mix of roving entertainment , dancers , djs and bands will keep everyone happy and will be money well spent.
Wedding Decorations That Are Stimulating –
Decorating done well will stimulate your guests and not only create the wow factor but can also create a focal point. If your guests want to move around to take in all the awesome decorating that has been done you have instantly created more energy. Any kind of visual stimulants like video screens, or slide shows will also add to this.
The Right Lighting –
The lighting colour you choose and the type of lighting you choose will affect the energy level of your wedding. Static coloured wedding mood lighting earlier in the night will keep the atmosphere chilled to begin with which is a good way to start the night. Moving and party lights in different colours will instantly add movement later in the night even before your guests start dancing. The right party lights done well later in the night will also encourage dancing as well. Even something as simple as a mirrorball will add some sparkle but also create subtle movement in your wedding venue.
Conclusion
I think the main key in creating great party energy at your wedding is simply giving your guests something to do. If the only thing they have to do at your wedding is sit , eat and drink and listen to speeches then your wedding energy will be low. For some couples this is what they want and it is very easy to achieve this.
If you do want your wedding to be a massive party with great party energy you really do need to plan for it. Sometimes it can just happen on the night but why leave things to chance. While doing some of these things may not guarantee the party of the year for your wedding they will definitely help. At the end of the day its the people who help create a great wedding. The key factor though is its how you stimulate those people to get them in the party mood that really helps with creating great party energy at your wedding.

What Type Of Party Are You Planning
It is important from the very beginning to decide on what type of party you want. This will make your planning easier.
If you want a wild party it is important to plan for this as it doesn’t usually happen without the right influences and planning!
Below is a description of the three main types of parties people usually plan and may help you decide what type of party you want.
Gathering
Low key event with background music, finger food, and formalities. You may want simple mood lighting for this type of event to make your guests comfortable.
Decorations are usually minimal with a few balloons or fairy lights to add a bit of atmosphere. Playing music from your phone or laptop is usually perfect for this type of event.
You may have a few basic speeches but formalities are kept to a minimum. For this type of event, a lot of seating is usually a good idea so people feel comfortable. These types of parties tend to be at people’s homes or a small function venue and will usually finish earlier rather than later.
Dinner Party
These types of events are more likely to be weddings, corporate events or dinner dances, etc. Most of the night is usually dinner and formalities followed by dancing. This is usually an hour or so at the end of a 5-hour function. Dancing usually will only occur if there is some form of entertainment.
Mood lighting and background music are usually best during dinner. If you have a band or DJ for entertainment then they will usually play party music for the last part which can be short if dinner and formalities are running behind. Depending on the crowd these types of parties can or can’t work for various reasons. These types of events will still be very enjoyable but don’t usually have a lot of party energy as the guests are seated for most of the night.
In most cases, the dancing is slow to get going. This is because your guests have usually just had a 3-course meal and don’t always feel like dancing straight away. Sometimes by the time they do feel like dancing the night is finished as dinner has taken up the main part of the night. In a lot of cases playing music from your phone for both background and party, music will suit and save money as the dancing part of the night is only short.
Party lighting is usually good for the last part of the night to change the atmosphere and make it more fun. If you really want a party of the year we suggest that you don’t have a sit-down dinner.
Depending on the occasion the organiser will usually go to some effort with lighting, styling, and décor props especially if they have set a theme. This will always add to the experience and will still help make it an enjoyable event.
Party Of The Year
These types of parties are what Feel Good Events specializes in. We have years of experience creating these types of parties! They are generally for those people that want a fun and happy atmosphere with lots of party energy and interaction between guests.
These types of parties are typically not sit-down dinners and are more cocktail-style parties. This means minimal chairs, lots of finger food, great drinks and cocktails, great music, a little crazy, and most importantly fun. These types of parties are usually unique and have things to do and see that haven’t been done or seen before.
Parties of the year are usually a mixture between mood and party lighting. They are also more likely to have a DJ or band rather than just making a playlist. This works better than setting up a playlist and connecting some speakers for lots of reasons. Themed decor and styling products are usually part of these types of events to help enhance the whole party experience. There are also often other forms of entertainment at these types of parties. This variation helps to really build guest interaction and energy.
Making these types of parties happen usually requires imagination and a bit of effort.
Wild parties require the host to think about the party experience they are creating for their guests from the very moment they start planning their party.
I hope this helps you in deciding what type of party to plan.

Band Or DJ - Which Is Better?
When it comes to choosing entertainment for their party, wedding or event many people struggle with the decision of whether to choose a band or DJ. Music is the backbone and soundtrack to your event and can mean the difference between your event being a failure or a success.
In this article, we look at the pros and cons for both and hopefully, this will help you with your choice when choosing entertainment for your event.
Band Pros
- A band will usually create a better emotional connection with the crowd
- A band can help energize the dance floor with both vocals and live instruments
- A band can act as an MC as well as encourage dancing and crowd participation from the lead singer
Band Cons
- They take up a lot more room and can look messy with the amount of equipment and leads they use
- They take longer to set up and pack down
- They cost more to hire than a DJ
- They have less control over music volume
- They may be restricted to the types of styles and songs they can play
- They need to take breaks every 30 minutes which will loose energy on the dance floor
- They can make your favourite song sound terrible
- Less likely to be able to play your guests requests
- Every song will have a gap in between
DJ Pros
- The good DJ will usually have a a wide variety of music styles and song choices
- A good DJ will be able to read the crowd and adjust the style and tempo of the music to match the energy of the room
- A good DJ will be able to play requests
- A good DJ will have the versatility to be able to change the style of music if it is not working with the crowd
- DJ's usually cost a lot less than a band
- A DJ will take up less space in your venue and if power is an issue will usually use less
DJ Cons
- If you are unsure of the DJ's music selection he may not have the songs you want on the day
- If the DJ is an introvert he may not bring any additional energy to the dance floor
- The DJ may have no idea on reading a crowd and just play the music they like
- The DJ if asked to MC may not have these skills and sound flat
Verdict
As far as cost and versatility a DJ will be better but can lack the energy that a good band can bring to your dance floor. In my opinion, you have 2 options. If money is not an issue hire both a band and DJ for different parts of the night. If money is a bit tighter go with a DJ as they will give you more playing time, and versatility, and all the songs will be the originals.
I would strongly suggest not setting up a playlist on your phone or laptop and connecting to speakers unless you want more of a low-key event. If you are happy to babysit the music all night and dancing is not important to you then this could be an option.
So there you have it, there is good and bad about both, and trying to decide will depend a lot on your budget, event style, and music taste.

Hosting A Christmas Party At Home
Content created by Julia Hammond and published onwww.mydeal.com.au.
The party portion of the year is fast approaching. If you’ve offered to host this year there’s no need to panic.
We have all the insider tips for hosting a stellar Christmas party from your very own home.
Create a kid’s corner
Kids get bored when they have to attend adult parties. And some adults aren’t used to having kids around all the time. Think ahead and create a kid's corner where they can retreat to when the adult festivities are ruining their Christmas vibes.
MyDeal kids furniture has tables and chairs perfect for setting up their own dining section and for entertaining them withdrawing or Christmas colouring in after dinner.
The party planner’s tips
Marcus Prentice from Feel Good Events has hosting down to a science. Here are his recommendations for a rockin’ event.
Christmas can be such a stressful time of the year especially if you are hosting a Christmas party. So what can you do to throw a great Christmas party and minimise the stress?
Number one rule - Plan for fun! If you want your party to be memorable this should be the key thing in all your planning.
Plan Ahead - Do as much pre-planning as possible. Create a food plan, drink plan, and entertainment plan and if possible do as much work before the day so that you can enjoy the party yourself.
Set the mood - Stimulate your guests' senses in as many ways as possible. Decorate the tables and the venue, use different types of lighting to set the mood for different times of the night, and play different types of music to cater to all guests' tastes.
Outsource - If money is not a restriction outsource as much as possible. Hire a caterer, hire some bar staff, hire a DJ, and maybe even someone to clean up afterward to really make your whole event experience enjoyable. Alternatively, if you are on a tight budget ask friends or family to bring a plate or a bottle of wine to bring costs down.
Entertainment - If you want your party to be fun and memorable you need some form of entertainment. Whether it's a DJ, band or some party games you need things for your guests to do unless you want it just to be a dinner party.
If you get the key elements right your Christmas party will be exciting, memorable, and hopefully stress-free. Check them out on Facebook and Instagram.
Have a backup plan
You were sure the invitation said BYO but it seems most people forgot. Luckily you’re an ace host who knows how to use Tipple; the pocket bottle shop. Simply download the app onto your phone and you can have wine, beer, spirits, and snacks delivered within 30 minutes.
They deliver emergency grog all the way until 11pm or you can use the app anytime to pre-order your delivery starting from 7pm. Find them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Fancy up your outdoor setting
Christmas in Australia means summertime and barbeques so you may as well get with the program. Tidy up your backyard because it’s highly likely guests will want to bask in the balmy evening air. Bring out a modular outdoor lounge set for the ultimate comfy convo spot.
Great music all night long
We admit it’s possible we’re a bit biased on this front but Christmas carols reach their limit. At least 2/3 of your playlist should have a festive theme but for everyone’s sanity consider throwing in a few throwback classics or current hits. They’re twice as likely to get a dancefloor started as well which is a sign of a great night.
Deck your halls with bounds of holly and ring those jingle bells! Your party is sure to be a success now that you have these tips under your belt.
Aaron & Jordyn's Bar Mitzvah

Mazel Tov!
Aaron & Jordyn celebrated their Bar Mitzvah at the iconic Luna Park. Luna Park’s Garden Terrace function space was transformed into a Blue, Red & White wonderland.

Planned 2 Perfection Events perfectly planned and organised the event while Design Africa Event Styling creatively styled the space and brought it to life. Feel Good Events supplied the custom decaled 7.2×7.2m white dancefloor along with the bunting, TV, and various decor and furniture items. The catering was supplied by Kosher Classique Catering.
It was a perfect setting to celebrate Aaron & Jordyn’s Bar Mitzvah!

BEHIND THE SCENES
Our team was able to secure a prime position at the Luna Park delivery area – making bump-in almost too easy.
Arranging the bunting within the marquees took up the bulk of the time. Next was the dance floor setup!
The bump-in took roughly 2 hours to complete with 3 staff on hand.

What Makes A Person A Good Dancer
It can be quite entertaining watching people dance at a party or nightclub even if you don't like dancing yourself.
What really does make someone a good dancer?
Researchers filmed 19 men aged between 18 and 35 using a 3D camera as they danced to music.
The study discovered five movement variables made the difference between a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ dancer.
According to the female participants perceptions, good dancers made large and varied movements with their neck and trunk.
Equally, varied movements in the wrist and left shoulder, as well as fast movements with the right knee, were also seen as a signs of good dancers.
Researchers said such dance movements ‘may form honest signals of a man’s reproductive quality, in terms of health, vigour or strength’ and this may be why the females found these moves so attractive.
At the other end of the scale, men who move their arms too much were marked down by the researchers, as were men that did not move enough and kept their arms and legs close to their body.
So guys if you want to impress the ladies you need to move your body more and maybe by them a few drinks as well!
