There are a number of formats or agendas that make a reception flow smoothly. Wedding Style DJ Entertainment works together with you and or your Wedding Planner to make it flow seamlessly. After the ceremony most bridal couples go off with the photographer to take pictures. This is where the cocktail hour comes in handy, it gives your guests time to get to the reception venue get situated and reflect on how beautiful the ceremony was. WSDJ provides beautiful ambient music for your guests that doesn’t overpower them, while they belly up to the bar or nibble on your caterers delicious h’orderves.  Most receptions start this way followed by your Grand Entrance. The GE is one of the highlights of your reception.  (more on that in future blog posts)

Now At this point things can go various ways, depending on the region of the country you are in,  how elaborate your catering is and of course, how good your entertainment planning is, rest assured with Wedding Style DJ Entertainment of San Diego, it’s all going to be good and fun.

Next Post: Regional agendas, the flow that is usually performed and little bits and pieces of why.

These statistics were published in St. Louis Bride and Groom magazine 2003. Sources includes Simmons, 2001; USA To day,  2002; National Bridal service,
2001; The Knot, 2002; Brides Magazine, 2001.

72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.

Almost 100% said they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.

78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority.

81% of guest say the thing they remember the most about a reception is the entertainment.

65% of all couples that choose a band to entertain at their wedding reception, said, if they had to do it over again, they would have a disc jockey.

These statistics are still applicable in 2011 – 2012. I believe the reason is, because there are not many blogs,

articles or discussions about the entertainment portion of your wedding day. (I’m working on changing that.)

You don’t have to be a part of those particular statistics

Your DJ is responsible for 60% (conservative estimate) the rest of your wedding day.

That is a task and responsibility, I do not take lightly. (mainly because of reason 4 above)

Nor should you or your choice of DJ scrutiny.

Leave the iPod to your jogging runs.

Save Craigslist & hobby Djs for your backyard Birthday Party.

And even though your buddy might say he can/will DJ your wedding…

he would much rather be a non-working guest.

After you do the math It’s much more economical, practical and enjoyable

to hire a Professional DJ/Master of Ceremonies Entertainer.

Did I mention 60% of the rest of your day.

I found a wedding section on one of my favorite blogs. Huffington post If it takes off I’ll add a feed here.

I posted:

I am shocked at the lack of attention ‘Entertain­ment’ receives. Master of Ceremonies­, DJ’s and bands are responsibl­e for (and I’m being conservati­ve) 60% of the rest of the day!
I’ve had meetings and entertainm­ent consultati­ons with brides who spared no expense on the dress, caterer, cake and the like, but wanted to iPod the reception. (long southpark style stare into the camera)
After explaining the 60% principal and more like: is all their music appropriat­e for kids and grandmas? Does everyone coming like your stuff..? Where are you going to put the BIG speakers you need to rent and set up? Those questions alone, usually get me the job.  My point is I’ll be in this blog department­, bringing awareness to an over looked wedding asset.

Wedding Style DJ Entertainm­ent

Not only is it a Weddding... It's a PARTY!

Here is a link to some FLICKr pictures and short videos of my recent work

Appropriate is one of at least 7 things a dj must be at your event that includes the lyrics of the music to be played, as well as the jokes and humourous ad-libs

At a recent wedding reception I performed, I marked the following joke as a ”Caution joke:”

Joe recently attended a lecture that a psychologist was
giving to a group of men. “How many of you make love to your wives
every night?” the psychologist asked. A few raised their hands.
“Twice a week?” More hands. “Once a month?” Still more hands
were raised. “Only once a year?” A man in the back row jumped up
and eagerly shouted, “Me!” “So why are you so cheerful?” the
therapist asked. “BECAUSE TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT!”

BTW: there wasn’t enough time, so the flagged joke was not used or needed. I did modernize the standard “Faux Telegram” (since they don’t exsist anymore) I used ”Faux Twitter and Emails” to ad-lib through out the night. This one example was used without hesitation:

TWEET FROM CHARLIE SHEEN:

Marriage teaches you loyalty, patience, understanding, perseverance, and a lot
of other things you wouldn’t need if you?d stayed single.

Happy Planning… Type to ya later!

Well the re-design is complete.  I’ll be blogging discussions related to wedding reception entertainment coordination and the topics involved w ith it.

Should be fun.  Let’s see how this flies… Hope to hear from you.
