the new trends in Weddings for 2010

Hello everyone!


Welcome to another addition of our Blog posting. I would like to go over some of the HOTTEST trends going on in the wedding industry today. There are many new and unique ideas out there and we just want to share some of these with you.





1. Decor lighting

With Decor lighting you can accent, highlight or warm up any venue! This is all the rage right now with Brides everywhere.
There is so much to offer with this unique way to decorate your room, add warmth and beauty and really give your guests the "WOW" factor!
We offer the area's ONLY wireless technology, and use state of the art lighting to offer you 1,600 colors to choose from! See our gallery on our website for more info.
2. Unique dances
"Rock the reception" dances, surprise "father / Daughter" pledges, First dance pledge, and of course the "Bridal party" routine dance are becoming more and more popular. Why not try something unique? Our favorite is the first dance pledge: We record a private message from the Bride to the Groom, and then record one from the Groom to the Bride. Each message is very short and sentimental...We then INTERSPERSE the recordings of your voices into your first dance song....What a memorable way to start your first dance as Husband and Wife!
3. Audience interaction.
This comes in many forms: Dinner interaction (Singing tables for you to have a kiss is very popular), Cocktail trivia about the Bride and Groom, as well as many Dance themes and interaction. Most Professional DJ services are now offering many options for you to choose from. Try a few!

Décor lighting…What is it?




Simply put, your wedding reception room can be surrounded in warm, beautiful lighting….

Décor lighting is used to ACCENT the room, while adding décor. Lighting will add a sense of beauty that cannot be described by words…Just look for yourself ...How would you describe the image above? Regardless of the words, your guests will be surrounded in beautiful lighting that you choose. We have a choice of 16 million colors to choose from!

Our lighting is state-of -the-art new LED lighting. Don't be fooled by the "Older" style lighting- Par can lights. These old style lights can generate ALOT of heat, and require alot of power...Some par cans are known to BURN too bright, or explode... Please do yourself a favor and ask what type of lighting is used...We carry ONLY wireless LED lighting...Specifically designed for this type of application. Par can lighting is primarily used for stage and live band lighting...and your choice of colors is limited to "Gels" - Pieces of plastic put in front of the par cans...

Check out our gallery page on our web site and see for your self what we can do to add to the beauty of your wedding reception...We can also light up you ceremony area as well...See our photos! Gallery link (Click here)

Booking a DJ for your event

Professional DJ?
Part-Time DJ?
Ipod?
Cousin Vinny as my DJ?

Let's face it, you have many choices for hiring musical entertainment for your wedding.

Many of you may have heard my story of the "part-Time DJ"...And if you did, it is worth hearing again. (This is a true story)

I have booked a bride who was at her best friend's wedding. This wedding was in the Spring of 2008.

Here is what the Bride booked for her DJ: Someone who "Does this part time" , We will call him DJ Jammin' Johnny. (Not his real name)

DJ Jammin' Johnny charged this bride $700 to DJ her wedding.

He provided her with a two page planner sheet. He told her to "Fill out the information" and he would call her a week before her wedding.

The sheet contained basic information (names, times, and SOME music selections), but nothing more.

She filled out the form, and found to her amazement that there was no address to send it to! (Where does Jammin' Johnny LIVE?) After THREE phone calls, he finally returned her call and told her to mail it to his home address....She did.

ONE week before her wedding, he calls her to go over the info. She asked if he would be able to play all of her 30 or so song requests and he said "Yes". (Boy was she in for a surprise)

He showed up on her wedding day a FEW minutes late. He said there was traffic....(This is completely unprofessional)

He THEN:

1. Mis-pronounced a few names in the bridal party (He was unprepared...)
2. Did not play the few songs she had requested, as a matter of fact he only played 3 of them.
3. Was rude to more than a few guests who wanted to request some songs.
4. Started drinking alcohol (Completely unprofessional)
5. During the "father/Daughter dance" - He DISAPPEARED OUTSIDE to smoke a cigarette.

At this point, the bride was furious.....................

Oh, and by the way, he was wearing a white piano tie and red converse tennis shoes.......

This is the part-Time DJ that charges $500-$700 for your wedding.

The bride was in tears by the end of the night.

Ask yourself this: Did she REALLY SAVE MONEY? Or did she get what she payed for?

When it comes to your special day, hire a SPECIAL Entertainer..... You will be happy you did...Not in tears on the day of your special wedding.

Remember, you should hire the DJ that you feel CONFIDENT in, not the one you found at the lowest price...Best of Luck!
