Posted by Stephenie Silver on Monday, August 27, 2012

Everyone knows the old standby of clinking a wine glass or water goblet to make the bride and groom kiss at a wedding reception. Today, many venues discourage the practice because the glass might break if it is banged too hard; however, there are better ways to do it. Read on for a few of the other, perhaps more imaginative ways of getting the Bride and Groom to smooch. Some of the ideas presented here will need some planning, whereas others can be done on the fly. Kissing Dice Kissing dice are large cubes measuring two feet to a side; they have numbers on 4 of their faces, and a big pair of red lips on the remaining two. Although there are many ways to use the dice to make the bride and groom kiss, we will focus on only two.

Things To Consider When Selecting A Dj From Kijiji Or Craigslist

Posted by Robert Hawkins on Wednesday, June 06, 2012

As a professional in the Wedding Industry for many years, I have frequently heard horror stories from couples who hired a DJ that they found on a classified website like Craigslist or Kijiji.These poor people told me that they received substandard service, could not contact the DJ, or worst of all, had a no-show from a DJ that took their money! Please don’t get me wrong; there are many reputable DJ services advertising on these websites, including my own, but there are some things you should know.First, advertising is free on these websites.In other words, anyone can advertise on them.Established and reputable DJ services, however, are willing to pay for expensive bridal advertising elsewhere and usually sign a minimum of a one-year contract for it.Second, there is no real scrutiny of the businesses that advertise on Craigslist or Kijiji.Third, a DJ who advertises on these websites can be here today and gone tomorrow.Worse than that, I have seen many ads over time that seem to ...

Lighting Decor For Your Wedding Or Gala

Posted by Stephenie Silver on Friday, April 27, 2012

Lighting is one of the elements of a wedding that is often getting overlooked. Many wedding and event vendors and such as your Venue, Decor Company, Wedding Planner, DJ/Bands, Audio Visual Company, offer lighting services. Who should you get it from? The Answer is… You should first know what is out there… and know what you want... ***Do not Jump on the first offer…*** Because you are going to book the venue first, they will be the first to recommend you their services.
