Live Band
I will be having a DJ for the wedding ceremony to play our favourite songs. Have my sisters to lead praise and worship.
For the dinner however, I am getting a 2 piece live band! Because just DJ the whole night is boring!
Sooo its 2 sets of 45 minutes. After the first 45 minutes, DJ can spin and do his thing. Probably 20 minutes? Then the band comes up. So there's live entertainment! Can do songs dedication too!
I have gone to different live bands like High Notes, Sparkle notes etc.
Finally settled with Kevin and Jeremy! Their voices are soothing and gives that very romantic atmosphere.
As I have a dance floor I think my guest would just start to slow dance halfway through dinner.
This is their videos:
Breakeven
Every Little Thing
Now and Forever
This is just some of their videos. Really talented pair of singers.
The DJ is essential for the after party! Yeshhh more than 1 hour of party-ing!
Bar
I am having two of my guy friends to set up a bar table and start mixing drinks for guests and I will have (3? I don't know) different alcohol drinks. My main ingredients that I would like to be part of the drink is lychee (I love that fruit with alcohol) and Bailey's! Maybe will have mojito and shooters as well.
The whole point is for guests to 'order' and then back to the dance floor
Partying in the outdoors!
Plus I am getting the lights (see previous post) so it'll be an awesome after party.
So the first half of the day would be all lovey-dover romantic and will end with a bang! (atleast that's how I envisioned it to be!
Dancing
As my family loves dancing and I don't like (never liked) a typical entrance, my fiancé and I have decided to do a dance entrance. Starting with the bridesmaids and groomsmen to lead the way dancing. and then me and my fiancé dance in! Like that people will be entertained. No dry ice effect kind of entrance.
We have a first dance as well. So we wanna do a waltz so its more memorable.
Lastly, a full family dance performance. Which will then lead to the emcee inviting everyone to the dance floor, end of dinner but the party has just begun!
Sounds awesome right? BUT!
so much dance lesson to attend to! Thank goodness I already found a professional dance instructor.
I can just imagine the whole evening!
Ok so that's it! Have yet to update on my florist! She is awesome and amazing!

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
Next update is the design of my personalized fans! Now gotta get my program moving :)
Alright till next update!
