This article carries on Bride Tips on Wedding Costs – Part 1 6. The Bride’s Extras  I’m actually embarrassed to admit how much this extras actually cost us. The shoes, underwear, jewellery,  spray tan, nails, hairdresser and beautician for the big day….it added up to a lot of money. Yes, you may want or need all of those things but shop wisely. I spent £80 on a pair of shoes that nobody saw (other than the very tips of the toes) and haven’t been worn since, £120 on underwear that my husband merely glanced at before flopping into bed and £80 on jewellery that is buried somewhere at the bottom of …

Every bride and groom in the land wants their wedding day to be perfect, but does perfection come at a cost? As my feet haven’t found their way down the church aisle (yet!), I asked a married friend how much she spent on her wedding and if there was anything she would do differently if she could go back and do it all again.  I wasn’t expecting her list to be quite as long as it was, so I thought I’d hand the reins over to her today so she could tell you all about it. Here’s Elaine’s list of what she did wrong, where she overspent, where she under …

When you book the venue for your wedding reception, there’s a chance that you might be offered the services of a free Toastmaster or a Wedding Master of Ceremonies as a part of your wedding package. It goes without saying that you’ll need someone to oversee the proceedings and to make sure your day flows smoothly, but is this free service everything it’s cracked up to be ? Will you be happy with it, or is it worth paying extra for a professional?  And if you do decide to hire someone, is there a difference between a Master of Ceremonies and a Toastmaster? What do they actually do, anyway? Here’s …

With people working more hours than ever before, trying to squeeze family and hobby time around their work, we’re fast becoming a nation of using one-stop supermarkets, buying online and ultimately taking as many shortcuts as we can to free up extra  ’fun’ time. But are we really getting the quality and service we deserve when we cut corners like this? Planning a wedding is a massive undertaking. The to-do list can run into pages, and the thought of embarking on it can seem daunting to even the very best organisers. It’s no wonder then, that some brides and grooms breathe a huge sigh of relief when their wedding venue …

I’ve thrown my hat in the ring Having being blown away by the ridiculously high calibre of Wedding Entertainers I had the honour of meeting and working with in Vegas, the passion I have for my continuing career as a DJ and Master of Ceremonies has literally gone through the roof. I feel excited and invigorated… and I’m overflowing with so many fresh and fantastic ideas that I can’t wait to share with my brides and grooms. But it’s not enough. And that’s why I’ve decided to take a massive leap and put myself through the rigorous application process to (hopefully) be welcomed as a member of the Wedding Entertainment …

Following on from my last blog post, I’d like to tell you a bit more about the workshops I attended in Las Vegas, and why I’m so excited about implementing everything I’ve learned into my performances here in the UK as a Wedding DJ and Master of Ceremonies. All three workshops were incredible and I was honoured to be taught by people who are undoubtedly the best and most respected wedding entertainers in the world. Mark and Rebecca Ferrell’s  ’Gold Master of Ceremonies’ workshop, together with Peter Merry (author of The Best Wedding Reception Ever) & Elisabeth Scott Daley’s ‘Make it Grand‘ and ‘The Professional Process‘ were all very different, but …

I’ve just arrived home from two wonderful weeks in Las Vegas. It was all I imagined it would be, and more  besides. So much more. Unique Wedding Ideas As I’m a DJ and this is a blog predominantly about weddings and wedding entertainment, you may be wondering why I’m about to tell you about my holiday. Well, I’m not. I didn’t go to Vegas for a holiday; I went for something far more important…  In short, I’ve brought back to the UK something that the UK wedding entertainment industry has never seen before. In fact, as I write, I am one of a very few UK DJs to have gained …

Everyone loves a little romance, especially when it’s time to ‘pop the question’. Here are three of the best marriage proposals of all time, courtesy of YouTube.

As a professional DJ, I’ve had the privilege to be involved in a lot of weddings over the years.  I could  write a book about all the wonderful things I’ve seen and been involved in, but I’d have to dedicate  at least a chapter to the things that haven’t exactly gone to plan on the big day. As I don’t plan on writing a book (yet!), here are a few hints and tips I’ve picked up along the way to make sure you have everything under control.  And sorry guys… these are just for the girls. It doesn’t matter how vigilant you are throughout the day, there will come a …

What is a Wedding Marryokey? Have you ever head of a Wedding Marryoke? Imagine a wedding + karaoke and this is what you get… This video was filmed at a Wedding I was fortunate enough to be part of on New Years Eve 2012 @ The Four Seasons, Canary Wharf
