WEDDING ENTERTAINMENT
Entertainment
at a wedding is a key factor. One piece of the wedding I always look forward to
is the dancing -- I like to get down! Usually, I like a mix of Top 40, with
some 80s, 90s and oldies, but heck, I will dance to pretty much anything! Typically,
you cannot find that combination of songs (performed acceptably) by anyone
other than a DJ. I have been to
some fabulous weddings with DJ’s and most of the time I like the DJ because
they also second as an awesome MC.
But I was dead set on having a band at my wedding because I feel it is
more interactive for the guests.
Ever
since I attended one of my friend’s weddings in North Carolina, I could not get
her band out of my head! Granted,
I had a lot to drink, BUT this band was hands down the best wedding band I had
ever seen – The Atlanta Showstoppers!
Every song and performance was better than the last. So when it was my
turn to decide band or DJ, I could not stop talking to my fiancé about the
Atlanta Showstoppers. We pulled up
their most recent promo video and fell in love all over again. I decided they had to be one of my
“splurge items”.
Typically,
for every bride, there is one area (or a couple of areas) that you end up
spending a bit more than you originally anticipated. To make my vision come
true, the entertainment HAS to be one of those areas! Anytime I get stressed
about details of the approaching day, I watch the promo video for the Atlanta
Showstoppers and my fire is back! Splurging on entertainment is something I do
not think I will regret because it is such a focal point of the wedding. It is that will keep my guests engaged
and dancing all night long!

***Don't forget to use every resource or connection you have to try and get a deal for your entertainment and when all else fails, use your negotiation skills ( or have someone with negotiation skills take care of that for you). If you have a wedding planner, you can ask if she has any connections with entertainers before you start your search!
Some dj tips for my friends hope you like. Being professional can put you way ahead of the game. Many people in the music business fail to be professional. Even though the business requires us to provide fun, some get lost and think that they must indulge. A few quick rules that should help you along... Keep your word, do what you say you're going to do. Show up on time, be ready for action. No matter what size of your attendance, play the best you can. You never know who is listening or what connection someone can provide to you. If you're distributing media kits, follow-up with a phone call or an e-mail. This also applies to all press-related info, meeting and reviews. If you give respect you'll get respect. No matter how they act, you must remain professional. Thanks
