Play That Funky Music

There are times when clients tend to struggle with the decision to choose either a band, DJ, or sometimes both. The trend that you see more often is the band may play during cocktail hour and have DJ play during reception. One thing I have suggested to my clients is to utilize your dollars. We have hired a diverse band, that can sing at least two or more genre types of music. During the break or to get a good shuffle, we have utilized the famous IPOD. (of course) That has saved clients a whooping $600 or more. When selecting a band or DJ a few things to consider:
*Experience - how long have they been singing or DJing.
*Are the band/dj familiar with the venue?
*Are the band/dj properly insured?
*Make sure the band/dj is properly dressed.

Brooke & Mark

Heat in San Antonio in June can be scrutinizing. My recent couple Brooke & Mark wedded on June 7 one of the hottest days of the year thus far. I really enjoyed working with this couple. There personalities along with mine we instantly had a connection from the first day I met with Brooke. The couple was not from San Antonio so helping to assist along the way was going to be very exciting.

The Venue: Southwest School of Arts
The Ceremony: Mission San Jose
The challenge: There guests and wedding party would be traveling from across the state to celebrate on there day. So coordinating a guest list of about 250 people and 5% lived in San Antonio. However, I enjoyed every bit of it.
My staff and I had the pleasure to work with some fine vendors. Tim and Dara from Timachine video and photography. They were a joy and easy going to work with. The food was provided by Leave it to us Catering,Michelle and her staff really set the tone of the evening starting with the cocktail hour.

I'm going to miss working with you both.
I have provided a few photos. Check my website in a few weeks for latest photos.
