COVID-19 & Events UPDATE!

/in /by

It’s been a long spring and summer with the pandemic lingering over head. Many of you have postponed your events until next year and for that, we thank you for not cancelling. But even with the moving of events comes the anxiety of not having any answers to tell our couples that did decide to hold out for their date this year. Many couples are holding off planning their wedding because they do not know when things will get back to normal.

A month ago, we joined the Events Industry Coalition of CT and had a virtual town hall meeting with Governor Lamont. During this call, hundreds upon hundreds of event professionals joined to hear what he had to say and to offer suggestions to the state on how we can re-open safely. We didn’t get all of the answers we had hoped for but we did get a few. Released today, were the new requirements for indoor and outdoor events. Those guidelines can be found here.

The short version is this.

Indoor events up to 25 people (STAFF INCLUDED)
Outdoor events up to 100 people (STAFF INCLUDED) **This number will increase barring there are no increases in COVID cases.
If a tent is used, only one side of the tent can be down. Guests must maintain a social distance of 6ft.
Passed hors devours are allowed but only if the staff passes it directly to the guest while wearing PPE (masks, gloves, etc)
Buffets are allowed but only if the staff serves the guests while wearing PPE (masks, gloves, etc)
During times of food service, guests must wear masks.
DANCING IS ALLOWED however a 6ft space must be maintained between guests that did not arrive together. (Couples are fine, but no large groups)
Audiovisual staff will disinfect shared use equipment such as microphones, stands, etc in between uses.
Your DJ must wear a mask at all times.
Vocalists are not permitted to sing indoors.

Today, July 22nd, 2020,

We have self certified with the State of Connecticut in accordance with the Re-Open CT regulations and standards during the pandemic. This means that we will be maintaining and following safe practices during our events to help slow or eliminate COVID19.

We are also reviewing the new guidelines for events on a daily basis to ensure that we are compliant and that the safety of your friends and family as well as our associates at our events comes first. Stay tuned for more updates.

Covid, Quarantines, and what we’re doing about it.

/in /by

The planet is collectively in a tailspin due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the entertainment industry was one of the first to be forced to close it’s doors indefinitely until the threat has been neutralized. And of course, during this rather challenging time, many other companies have elected to have their employees work from home and in some cases, stop work all together. The inspiration for our resurgence of creativity came from a single DJ in Italy that decided he was going to entertain his neighbors from his balcony. The audience below began to cheer, sing, and dance. It was a beautiful moment of humanity and proof that music is so vital during times like these because it brings us all together.

DJs, musicians, and many other artists have collectively taken a cue from this young DJ and have begun curating content on social media and other outlets to keep their followers and fans entertained. Events companies have put down their competitive shields and have shown a great camaraderie amongst each other to help their clients in their time of need. Pryme Tyme Entertainment is no exception. Through our comprehensive network of event planners, photographers, DJs, and venues, we’ve all been working tirelessly to ensure our clients are able to carry out their celebrations with little worry and inconvenience as possible.

We’ve also begun putting out mixes for our fans to listen to and enjoy from the comfort of their own home. You can now listen to our mixes right on our homepage or download the MIXCLOUD app on your phone and tablet. Our channel can be found HERE.  Entertainment is all we know. It’s what we’re good at. And during this pandemic, we’re going to do everything we can to keep you feeling positive and motivated through music.

We hope that you are taking the time to enjoy your families and children and look forward to serving you again very soon.

Sending love your way,

The PTE Team
