Wedding DJ

Yes I have found my wedding DJ! 

My requirements:

Firstly, able to carry the mood and atmosphere. He/She is able to bring out the romantic/sentimental feeling especially when I walk down the aisle. I always watch the bride in tears or the groom in tears or both as they see each other. 

The bride nervous yet excited to reach the end of the altar where the man that she would spend the rest of her life with is waiting for her. And looking dashing, the feeling of overwhelming happiness hits her and tears comes out.

For the groom, seeing his bride for the first time (That is why we have no gate crashing and he is not allowed to see me on my actual wedding gown until I walk down the aisle. Other gowns can but THE gown that I would wear for that day he can't see!) So He sees her beautiful walking down to him. This is the woman he loves, the woman he would build a family with. She will be his best friend and his partner for life. And again overwhelming happiness hits him and he tears.

What stimulates such feelings? Of course the music plays more than half the reason! So the DJ has to be good!

Secondly, reciting of vows. My fiance and I aren't doing the standard traditional vows but we decided to write our own. Words that comes from the heart and not just reciting. This words are thought of carefully. This are the promises that will hold both the husband and wife. Their whole marriage is based on the promises they wrote for each other. Here they are, in front of their friends, baring their heart and soul, declaring their love to stay together for the rest of their lives, the DJ has to be able to flow with the emotions and of course bring out the tears again. 

Thirdly, the reception. I don't like boring receptions. Music and some entertainment should keep the people moving about.

Fourthly, THE AFTER PARTY! Yes! its gonna go mad on the dance floor!

So after much searching and calling and negotiating, I have found HIM!

His name is Dave, a New Zealander. Ang moh of course wild at dance floor plus my wedding is western style so he knows the sequence and all that.

Their company name is Wedding DJ For You. 

He has been DJ-ing for more than 30 years now and he has so much projects. He also has the licence for his music so hotels, or outdoor venues need not worry about pirating the music or something.

He has 3 packages. 

The Prestige Wedding Package. Basically its a lunch wedding reception so very ittle lighting and effects required. Around 3-4 hours

The Elite Wedding Package. Its for evening reception. Its after the wedding ceremony/solemnization. Its full sound system with lighting and effects. Roughly 5-6 hours. Good for hotel or evening outdoor reception.

and finally the Ultimate Wedding Package (MY PACKAGE!! Of course I go for the best).
8 hours from the time I walk down the aisle to the after party! Full sound system, fantastic lighting and effects and they can bring in entertainers too like dancers etc!

So I am ready to cry laugh and dance the night away and have the wedding of the lifetime!

Ok here is a real couple's video of his DJ-ing http://vimeo.com/23907681

Slow Planning

Wedding Planning has slowed down for the moment because of a major career shift.

YES MAJOR CAREER SHIFT! I find that planning my wedding is so enjoyable and the stress that comes with it is my drive. I like to do extensive research for the best yet cheap stuff cos I don't believe in over spending.

So now, officially, I am a WEDDING PLANNER. Not just my wedding I plan, but others too! So far it has been great, meeting new people, finding new wedding theme, very unique couple, creative and couples of different personality.

The journey has been stressful yet fun at the same time! That is why my own wedding planning has slowed down for now. Still adjusting at my new job. Will have to get back to it soon!

For now, I have chosen my DJ and I recommend him highly for all couples! Really reasonable in pricing, very efficient and comes in complete package!

I shall promote him next post.

Ok Happy Deepavali everyone! :)
