Who are you?
Undoubtedly there is more about what drives you than we could possibly cover here. Fortunately, the only aspects you’ll really need to give much thought to at this time, are the things about you that will ultimately determine your entertainment needs.
The simple truth is … whether you and your guests remember your wedding as “totally awesome” or “been there… done that”, will not be a matter of what activities take place at your wedding, but rather, how those activities made you feel.
So the key to a successful wedding is to anticipate in advance how certain things at your wedding may affect the spirit of both you and your guests as well as the overall atmosphere of your celebration.
When thinking about choosing a DJ for your wedding and how their experience, skills, and performance should fit into your overall plans and budget, it’s helpful if you begin by asking yourself the right questions.
