Wedding at Laurel Manor today

2011 Picture Review (Part 1)

Not too many weddings take place this time of the year, so over the next few weeks I'll be posting some pictures from various weddings I did last year.  Not all of them were complete enough to do a full review so I'll be posting images from several weddings and other various events here over the next week.

These pictures are from the Inn at St. John's in Plymouth.  I've been there on several occasions and I've always been in the atrium.  I was surprised to learn that they have several rooms there and this was one of them.  Very nice room and elegantly decorated.  This was from this past New Year's Eve.

 These are from a small company Holiday Party I did at Crystal Gardens in Howell.  They had quite a few activities at this party... Photo Booth, Flip Book and of course, The DJ Guy.

I did a few of my friends weddings this year as well.  Here's some pictures Veteran's Day at Laurel Manor in Livonia.  Don and Jessica both spent a lot of time in Iraq over the past few years and I can't think of a better day for them to tie the knot than Veteran's Day (11/11/11).

David's Bridal Spray Paints Dresses!

This company is eating the cost of all these wedding dresses... guess how they make up for it?  Yup, higher prices, passed on to the consumer.

Remember that when you shop for a wedding DJ.  The DJ Guy does NOT do bridal shows.  Why? They cost anywhere from $500 to $2000!  The cost is passed on to the consumer.  The bridal show is a high pressure sales pitch with little to no time spent with the bride to be and "special-one-day-only" price, which is actually a marked up, then discounted price.  The DJ Guy does NOT play this game!!!

Call to setup a personalized appointment to book your event at everyday low prices for a multi-award winning DJ.

And if you need a dress, check out my last post for one that won't cost you an arm and a leg!

A wedding dress for under $300???

Lets face it, these days a lot of people are on a budget.  Second marriages, job loss and inflation have a lot of people cutting back.  This isn't for everyone, but if the budget is tight...

What if you could find a dress for under $300?

One of the websites I frequent regularly sells wedding dresses.  I'm not a fashionista by any means, but they look like a lot of the dresses I see at weddings every week.

I don't know about the quality or sizes, but I do know these are very inexpensive.  I've purchased some electronic gadgets from them and the quality is usually pretty good on their products.  The shipping time varies from less than a week to 3 weeks depending on where it's coming from.  You'll most likely need to hire a local tailor to do any alterations so factor that into the cost.

If you do order one from them, please let me know what you think.  Good luck and I hope this helps some of you!

From Weddings to the Holidays...

The 2011 wedding season is over and it's time to shift into the Holiday Spirit. This past November was the busiest I've ever had. Not one weekend went by without a wedding, birthday, anniversary or reunion.

Now that we're into December, it's time to cue up the Christmas songs and spread a little Holiday cheer. This weekend I'm kicking it off with two Holiday parties. If you or a company you know or work for is looking to have a Holiday party, give me a call and I'll be happy to get them a quote. Karaoke is available for all events too!

Need a Videographer?

Last week, I had the privilege of working with an amazing videographer. Normally, I wouldn't suggest a videographer unless you didn't have a good friend with a video camera, as hiring one can be a big expense.

Craig Butler of Freakin' Awesome Photography and Videography did the impossible... He took video from the entire day's events (the bride's makeup and hairdresser, the guys waking up and trying to get ready in one small house, the ride to the ceremony, the photo shoot all around various Detroit landmarks and finally the grand entrance at the hall). Then some how, he edited this down into a brilliant high quality production during dinner and played the 8 minute feature (complete with music) on a big screen right after dinner!!!

Video editing is very time consuming and can take days to do, what he some how put together in just 45 minutes. If you want an emotional, funny and moving short film to play at your reception, give Craig a call or check out his website.

Need to see his work? Here's what I saw... (that's me announcing them, but I don't think his mic picked up the sound that well)
