We had a great time this past weekend at the Wedgewood Vendor Meet & Greet at Eagle Ridge and we introduced a new Video Package. This package has been created for the budget minded brides and grooms that want to have a slideshow presentation at their reception but don't want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to do it. In the past, the only option to spending a lot of money to have a presentation was to bring (i.e borrow or rent) a screen and projector in order to show all of your photos. Well, we have an inexpensive answer for you...<br />
<br />
Our Introductory Video Package features (1) 32" video monitor and a custom slideshow that we can loop and play throughout your entire reception! We will even make the slideshow for you (of course, you have to provide us with the pictures)! At the end of the event, we even give you a copy of the slideshow in a DVD format that you can enjoy over and over.<br />
<br />
If this is the personal touch that you would like to have at your wedding reception, please feel free to contact us and we can explain all of the details, pricing, and answer your questions.C.J.

My first piece of advice is to do your homework and figure out what you want. After you figure out what you want, talk to the people that have done it to find out if it's realistic.<br />
<br />
Every bride and groom know some of the basics about preparing for a wedding. The Dress, the tux, the cake, the food, the flowers and the place. From a DJ's perspective here are some suggestions on things to do to make sure that everything goes smoothly. <br />
<br />
If you do not use a coordinator, make sure that you communicate with the DJ. If he is a good DJ, he is going to act as a coordinator and make sure that the facility staff, photographer, videographer, officiant (minister), bridal party, parents and the happy couple are on the same page and stay on time. Similarly, if you have a coordinator, the DJ will take his or her cues from the coordinator. Either way, communication before the "Big Day" is extremely important.<br />
<br />
From a music standpoint, you should not stress about the music unless there is something special about what you want. Do not over think the music for dancing. You should focus on the music for the ceremony, 1st dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, etc. There is a simple reason for this, the energy of you and the guests will affect the type of music that entertains everyone. Most of the time, 10 to 15 specific requests and communicating the genres that you like most will give the DJ a very good idea of what will work for you and your guests. This will free up time for you to get your other "to do" lists done. But don't be afraid to provide a "Do Not Play" list! Sometimes that is more important than specific requests.<br />
<br />
So, the bottom line is this.... Try not to stress out about the music. Communication is the most important thing. If the DJ has questions or concerns, he will talk to you about it if there is open communication... kind of like a good marriage! <br />
<br />
Hope this helps!<br />
