(Are your speakers on?)
A Personal Message To The Bride And Groom
First of all, let me congratulate both of you on your decision to share
the rest of your lives together in marriage. I hope your ceremony and
the celebration of your wedding with your family and friends is one of
the most wonderful memories of your lives.
By now you may be starting to realize that organizing this event is no
small task. Planning your wedding is not something you get to
practice doing every day. It is a once in a lifetime event. Relax and
enjoy the fun of being creative. You will be rewarded for all of the
effort you that put into it.
There are churches to locate, clergy, ceremony music, banquet
rooms to rent, caterers, florists, cake makers, photographers, DJ's,
video crews and on and on. I encourage you to spend plenty of time
planning, interviewing and coordinating. Many of these vendors
must interact with each other and good communication is essential.
Rarely does everything go perfectly. Good vendors working together
will iron out any unexpected glitches and make your wedding appear
exactly as planned to you and your guests.
Get help planning and coordinating if you feel you should. It will be
worth it to know that everything is being taken care of so that all you
have to do is focus on your wedding day, enjoying one of the best
times of your lives and living out your dream.
As your Tampa Wedding DJ, it is my responsibility to help plan the
flow of events at your wedding and reception. This is my area of
expertise which will help to coordinate your celebration.
We start with up to a two hour private consultation (longer if needed)
with the bride and groom. We go over many of the details, supplying
you with an outline of a plan to assist you with your wedding.
In a recent article, over 100 newly married brides were surveyed. It
was nearly unanimous that they would do one thing differently. They
would have placed far greater importance on getting to know and
working with the DJ in planning their wedding.
