The use of flowers can up any decor. Had a great wedding on a very hot smoldering summer day at “The Woods Clubhouse” in Chula Vista, CA.

Do you need a DJ?

Posted on July 15, 2012 by

When planning a wedding or event whether you are expecting 20 guests or 120 guests, it is important to think about whether you need a DJ. Maybe you are having a quartet or some other string band who is performing throughout your entire event. You or may not need a DJ. Here are a few things to think about:

  • MC (Someone to make announcements: This is the most important aspect of the role because this person will set the vibe for the entire wedding.
  • Lapel and/or cordless microphone for the ceremony and announcements
  • Sound system (You will need a separate system if ceremony and reception are in separate areas of the venue)
  • If you do not plan to utilize a band or string group, you will need a DJ to play even the simplest of playlists whether it’s from an iPad or a mixer.

A DJ will be one of the most important vendors you will hire for your wedding. They are not just another vendor you are paying for, they are also what will determine if your wedding will be remembered and fun for the guests. Having that personality make announcements and livin up the party is important to making sure that dance floor is always full.

#1 Priority — Before Planning Your Wedding

Posted on January 28, 2012 by

Come up with a budget and make sure that budget sticks. I have seen in some instances where budgets are approximated at a higher rate of what actually becomes available.

How does this affect your planning?

1. The first thing you may do is higher a wedding planner. If your budget is not truly what you had expected, you may find your self in a bind later down the road when trying to fit the rest of your vendors in.

2. Your photographer and venue are the other two large costs that might take away a large percentage of your budget. The issues will arise beyond this where you have discovered you have 30% less than you had expected to have in your budget

3. Once your catering is approximated, you may find yourself trying to find additional budget, or reducing your guest size in order to meet your budget.

Recommendation: Figure out your budget and then put the detailed budget together before hiring any vendors. As a general rule, if hiring a wedding planner, make sure you are aware of what you can afford. For full-service, you can determine a guestimated cost between 10-20% of your budget depending on the type of full-service chosen. For a Day of Coordinator, you may be looking at approximately $700-1000. Depending on the package, your wedding planner can put together the remainder of the detailed budget for you, so you know what you can afford for a photographer, florist, etc.
