"A couple of years ago, one of the weddings was transitioning to a reception prior to the dinner service. The dinner service wasn't ready on time, so I had to stall guests entering the dining room without the couple knowing or worrying. Thankfully, we had a lively jazz band playing in the reception hall, so I requested that they engage the crowd in an interactive encore and informed the reception hall service team to maintain service for 15 more minutes. Time flies at weddings, so the couple didn't even notice, and the guests loved the band mingling with them as they played their final song. It turned out to be a great addition to the vibe of the evening, and it allowed the dinner crew time to complete their set-up."
