Wedding Dinner Hour Music – Make It Custom!
As wedding DJ’s, we often sit down with brides and grooms who come to their pre-wedding meeting with pages of songs they would like played during their reception. Some of the songs may have special meaning to them, while others are songs they just love and would like to hear on their wedding day. It’s great when couples share what songs they like and don’t like – it helps their wedding DJ to really get to know them and what types of music they like in order to give them the party of their dreams. However, sometimes...
read moreWedding Toasts – Do It Right
Wedding toasts have been a long standing tradition for many years. Typically given by the best man, today’s weddings often include a toast by the maid of honor as well, and possibly a parent, and/or sometimes a great friend of the couple. These words to the newlyweds are often emotionally touching and/or humorous and are very welcomed by all. However, if these speeches are not properly placed in the evening, it could potentially be a downer for your party. The number of people choosing to speak on your big day will help determine at...

After seeing the incredible video from Mary Paulk Photography, I wanted to quickly get a write-up of Katie and Emmett’s wedding on our blog and share the amazing event with other couples. Katie and Emmett were married on April 14th, our first wedding of the 2012 season.

read moreDance Floor Lights At Your Wedding Reception
Dance floor lights at your wedding reception can really add to the atmosphere of your party. When planning their wedding, most couples probably don’t even think about lights and the impact that it can have on your guests and their desire to dance. Dance floor lights come in a variety of styles and sync up to your wedding DJ’s system so that they move and flash to the beat of the song. They are not meant to turn your wedding reception into a club by any means, but they aim to provide much more of a party feel to your...
read moreLast Dance After The Last Dance At Your Wedding Reception?
As wedding DJ’s, we are always on the lookout for new trends and ideas to share with our brides and grooms that may help to make their wedding reception unique and personal to them. One of the latest ideas that we just heard about (and that I absolutely LOVE) is the last dance after the last dance. But what exactly does this mean? Traditionally at weddings, there is a last dance. This could be a slow dance to a song that has a lot of meaning to you while all your guests circle around you. It could be a fast dance that the bride,...

read moreBest Wedding Centerpiece Give-A-Way Ideas
Most couples invest a lot of money into the wedding centerpieces for their big day. Or those DIY brides and grooms spend a lot of time coming up with the perfect option to add to the decor and color of their wedding theme. With all that money and time invested, it would be a shame for the centerpieces to be thrown out, and what newlywed couple wants to take home 10-15 centerpieces? The best way to give those centerpieces a good home is to incorporate a centerpiece give-a-way into your reception. Not only does it prevent the couple from...
