20 WEDDING SAVINGS THAT WILL GO UNNOTICED by Jackie Baird, On Bended Knee - www.bendedkneeweddings.com
Not every bride these days has a Wedding Fund pot of Mom and Dad’s money. So here are 20 unnoticeable ways to save without creating a wedding drag.

1. More Intimate Affairs- Smaller weddings of 100 guests or less are more popular than ever. Couples have caught on that smaller weddings lend affordability for more lavish elements. Fewer guests equal options for a smaller venue, a lower food and bar bill and less tables to seat guests. (READ MORE)

Setting The Mood At Your Wedding With Music

Over the past 25 years, we’ve seen many style weddings and the way you “stage” our celebration will go a long way in setting the mood or tone of your day. Here are some of the more popular styles that we’ve done in the past (but we’ll work with you to set the stage anyway you would like).

The Cocktail Party – this is great for the times when you don’t expect or want people to dance. A unique blend of music is used for the back beat of your lounge party. People gather, rink, socialize and eat. Other than a toast or two, this is a completely low-key non interactive event. This works well with our ipod wedding rentals or when there are religious reasons to keep the event as a non-dancing function. (READ MORE)

Working With A Wedding Band

I had the unique opportunity to work with a band recently. Most times as a DJ, when we work with a band, we act as Master of Ceremonies and the band just plays sets of music between our sets of music. This time, I was just providing an LCD projector and screen as a rental to the client. There was no DJ at this wedding.
The band sounded great and their mix of music was not bad. As a DJ, if I were to play a song then leave a 2 minute gap between the end of one song and the start of the next, people would look at me funny and wonder what the technical problem was. For this band, this was just the way they worked. The music was so loud for dinner time, that no one could talk. Bands are just loud and LOUDER. There is no background volume level for them for some reason. (READ MORE)
