DJ:Plus! Entertainment

‘Guests remember two things the most from weddings – the entertainment and the food. Be sure to send them home with great memories!’ ~ Contemporary Bride

We hear this or similar statements so often, yet in a lot of cases, the entertainment is left to late in the wedding planning process and then couples are often compelled to make their decision based solely on cost. Great entertainment is very powerful. Think about it, even if the food, flowers and room are not quite perfect, this will be easily overlooked if the guests have been entertained and enjoyed themselves immensely. However, if the entertainment is bad, everyone will notice immediately and then even great food, lovely venue and beautiful flowers won’t help much.

Allocate a higher priority to securing great entertainment early in your planning process and take as much time in selecting your entertainment, as you would put into searching for and selecting your photographer. If necessary, allow a larger portion of your budget to secure great entertainment.

Be there! Sounds obvious, right? Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

I can’t tell you how many times I have seen the bride and groom DISAPPEAR from their own wedding reception. Maybe they step outside for a cigarette, they decide to have a chat with guests in the hall or go off for photographs outside (which could have been taken earlier with a little planning).

What you need to understand is that when the bride or groom leaves their wedding celebration, it’s like the air gets sucked out of the room. People are lost without their host and hostess, the stars of the show; they wander around aimlessly.

If you want your party to be lots of fun, STAY IN THE MIX!!

If you want your wedding to be fun, YOU have to have fun. Your wedding is all about you. Your guests will be looking to you for guidance. You are the star of the show. If you aren’t having a good time…chances are they won’t, either.

On the other hand, if you’re having the time of your life, your guests will be compelled to join you. If you want your guests on the dance floor…go to the dance floor. If you want your guests to stage dive (okay, maybe not)….but you get the idea, the party goes where you go, so lead by example.

Making sure you have fun at your own wedding is the best way to guarantee a FUNtastic celebration!
