The Keys to a Successful Wedding

The Keys to a Successful Wedding

1. What are your top priorities?
The first key to a successful wedding is to
understand your priorities and what’s most
important to you, and how you want your
wedding to be remembered.
If you feel the photographs are most important,
you might want to set aside more of your budget for
a good photographer. If you’re not sure what is most
important to you, a easy way to find out would be to
simply describe your wedding in just 3 words.
The first thing that comes to mind may just be your top
priority.
Before you look at the example below pick the 3 words in your head
right now to describe your wedding.

Just for fun see if the words in the example match your words.

Example: Here are 3 words you may have thought about, with the type of vendors
you’ll need to choose  to make it happen. If  one of your words was….

Beautiful = Locate right Venue, The perfect Dress, Flowers, good Photographer, decor etc.
Fun = Quality entertainment DJ/MC or Band or both.
Classy = Venue again, formal wear, very good DJ/MC.
Lets add one more just for kicks,
Stress Free = A very good professional coordinator, and a great DJ/MC.

Notice a pattern?

Fun, of course, your reception is the entertainment part of the wedding.
Your Disc Jockey is responsible to make it happen.

Classy, It’s easy to make a wedding look classy, however a poor quality
DJ/MC that is unfamiliar with wedding etiquette can be offensive.

Stress Free, Keep in mind, the DJ you do choose will be the one that’s representing
you on the microphone, guiding and directing  your guests all night on one of
biggest days of your life, imagine your stress level if your DJ is not right for you.

2. Recruit the right team; Hire the right group of vendors that know
how to work well together. By hiring good professional vendors that know
their role, your wedding will flow smoothly. The director of the wedding should
be the Master of Ceremonies. A real MC has the training & experience to
keep your guests entertained & informed through out the night.

wisely. This is the place you will be celebrating one of the biggest
days of your life with family & friends. The day you will never
forget.
I would like to give you some great ideas to find the right place
for you. Since there are literally hundreds of places to choose from
give yourself time to visit several locations. Ideally a year or longer
should give you enough time. Some of the more popular locations
get booked up early. It’s better to get the place you want, and not
the ones that are left over.

Referral Kickbacks? Beware!

Referral Kickbacks? Beware!

Definition:
Kickbacks – Slang, A return of a percentage of a sum
of money already received, typically as a result of
pressure, coercion, or a secret agreement.

There are thousands of DJ’s out there to choose from.

The best way to narrow your search is by getting references.
By now you probably have a location picked out for your
reception. Most cases the venue coordinator will have a list of
preferred vendors.

But before you take their word for it, ask the coordinator
what the criteria is to be on the list. Just because there
on the list doesn’t always mean your getting a quality vendor.
