PRODUCTION DETAILS
Why clients trust Ant Smith Music with their biggest moments.
SERVICE AREA & TRAVEL
Travel: Local Zone (30 miles from Studio City) is complimentary. Regional events including Orange County, Santa Barbara, and beyond, are covered by a flat travel fee. Events >90 miles (or ending after 11 PM) may require one night of hotel accommodation. No hidden fees.
Requirements: "The Artist" packages require a provided sound system by the venue or headlining DJ. "The Production" packages are fully self-contained.
AUDIO & TECH SPECS
"The Production" Packages: I provide a complete, premium sound solution. For multi-location weddings, I deploy a Dual-System Strategy (Primary + Satellite setups). This means both areas are live before guests arrive, guaranteeing a seamless flow with zero setup noise or downtime.
"The Artist" Packages: I utilize a tour-grade wireless in-ear and microphone system, allowing me to integrate with your DJ’s setup and perform from anywhere in the venue.
MUSIC CURATION
The Blueprint: I don’t leave the vibe to chance. I utilize a detailed Music Design Profile to deconstruct your musical identity, capturing your specific "Must-Plays" and "Do-Not-Plays."
The Bespoke Studio Mix: Unlike standard DJs who mix on the fly, I dedicate hours in the studio before your wedding to craft your primary dance sets. This pre-production allows for complex, creative transitions that aren't possible live, and most importantly, it frees me from the booth so I can be on the floor, bringing the energy directly to you and your guests.
The Performance: For dance sets, I use that profile as a guide, not a cage. I read the crowd in real-time, freestyling over the mix to keep the energy high. No rigid song lists—just pure flow.
Spotlight Moments: Your key moments (First Dance, Grand Entrance) are guaranteed and custom-arranged for maximum theatrical impact.
100000/10 - AMAZING
“Ant absolutely killed it at our wedding, he ripped it on the saxophone for HOURS. His ability to adapt to the DJs music and versatility with the crowd is extremely impressive. Not only is he an amazing musician, he’s a genuinely nice guy and wonderful to work with. Very flexible with timing the performance to when we needed him, just an overall amazing addition to a wonderful night. Thanks again for making the night amazing!”
-Garo Z., Wedding
