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 …

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 …

But with so much music to choose from and so many people to keep happy, where do you start? The easiest and most effective way of planning your …

Here is a great video from a wedding on 12th May 2012 at Sopwell House, where we are the recommended entertainment supplier.

It happens all the time sadly: a DJ either cancels right before the event or he just never shows up. While you might be able to scrounge by without a DJ during some events, a no-show for a wedding might just ruin the evening. What do you do if you are having trouble with Wedding DJs? Better yet, how do you avoid having trouble in the first place when hiring Wedding DJs? Here are some tips. Wedding DJs can be expensive. If someone offers to DJ your event for an incredibly low rate, use extreme caution. Remember that “there is no such thing as a free lunch”! In other words, …

These days you might have heard some couples hiring Juke Box’s for their wedding reception instead of hiring professional wedding DJs. Sure, the juke box looks cool, and when lit up it adds a touch of nostalgia to the party. But it also has its disadvantages. What I would like to do quickly is talk a bit about the pros and cons. People who prefer the juke box might say that the guests feel in control of the music because they get to choose the songs they want to hear, however this can often be a bit more of a disadvantage than an advantage, can you imagine if everyone (including …
