I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to comment. Your day with John WAS an awesome day. Who cares about a little 96 degree day? I knew when we met for dinner that night that it was going to be memorable on so many levels. I continue to wish you both the very best. As I’ve written before, I truly do have the BEST customers.

As my eyes start to tear up, thinking back to that day, I was in such a daze, from not remembering who got me dressed to feeling like I was going to faint.That was such a awesome day. John and I loved everything about our wedding. And what we were most happy for, was that everyone was on the dance floor, and have a great time. When it was time for the wedding to end, we had guest that wanted more. Thank You DJJerry for a fantastic job well done:)
Best of Luck,
Tonja Flanagan

First, if you have no desire (or don’t expect) to have dancing at your wedding, and are just looking for background music, then an iPod or a pre-programmed play list on your laptop is a reasonable approach. Second, I think that doing your own music would be preferable to hiring a really bad DJ. At least you know what will be played if it’s your music. It is also a perfectly logical choice if you are doing your entire wedding on a shoestring budget. What is NOT reasonable is the presumption that there is no difference between an iPod and an experienced professional disc jockey, since they both play music. That whole thought process is flawed. I like to use the analogy of the stone mason: Imagine that a truck delivers a load of field stones into a pile. You could probably, without any experience at all, take the stones and form a wall of some type. It may not be perfect or stable or beautiful, but it would technically be a wall. A talented mason can take those very same stones and, with his experience, build a wall that is eye catching, memorable and will last a lifetime. Is there a difference between the two? You betcha!Contd [...]

I appreciate the kind words. You had quite the little core group going there at the end. I just wish we had had more time to keep people moving. It was an important (and fun) day for all of us.

Caroline is a real pro, who along with Brent, did a seamless job. She just posted a YouTube video and, if you keep a sharp eye out near the end, you just may spot a certain DJ on the job. Thanks so much Caroline!

Thanks so much for visiting the blog and for taking the time to comment. I have to tell you how absolutely stunning a coincidence your comment is. Literally over the last couple of days (no exaggeration) I have started to draft a blog article on keeping guests happy at a wedding. Some of the concepts are the same for any party, so, hopefully when it gets published, you’ll gain some ideas from it. As an aside, based on how your approach has been to this point, your guests are going to have a good time — I’m absolutely CERTAIN of that. Very much enjoying working with you and looking forward to meeting you “in person” in a very little while.
