The New Camera

by

On my last post, Smile For the Camera, I mentioned I ordered a new camera for taking picture at my events and personal use. It’s a Digital SLR Nikon D50 and I received it last week. I’ve got to say, its a nice investment. And I really got to say that for 2 reasons. First, … Read more

Smile for the Camera

by

I love taking picture. Especially pictures of people having fun, with great big smiles. I believe that a picture like that captures the person in a time that they are free, they let go, so to speak. Really, they are behaving like a small child would when he is playing and having a great time … Read more

How to Prepare a Toast!

by

Houston Wedding DJ Toasting TipsIt is a privilege and an honor to be invited to a wedding as a guest.

It is even a greater privilege to be invited as part of the bridal party.

But, the greatest privilege is to be asked to be the best man or the maid of honor.

To the Best Man or Maid of Honor!

The bride and groom have asked you to be the best man or maid of honor. They trust you and will rely on you for help and support throughout the entire wedding planning and the wedding day. Apparently, you are someone very special and important in their life and they feel they can’t do it without your help.

During the toast, you are responsible for all the guests to know a little something special about them and provide a great reason for everyone to toast. This is a big responsibility and should NOT be taken lightly.

Think about it. If you were the bride or groom, and you invite co-workers, family members, and special friends to your wedding, wouldn’t you want to be represented in a positive, fun, entertaining, and memorable way?

Wouldn’t you want your best man and maid of honor to do the very best job they can at giving a fantastic toast?

Well, good, I’m glad you agree and understand. :)

Here are a few basic guidelines to follow in creating the best toast you can give.

What does it take to create an OUT OF THIS WOLD Reception?

What does it take to create an OUT OF THIS WOLD Reception?

High Expectations?

Picky?

Know what you want?

Creating your life-long dream wedding reception should be a breeze!

Most of my brides are very picky when it comes to their entertainment. They have certain genres of music that they want to be played at their reception and they want their event to flow smoothly. Additionally, they want everyone to have a great time. The DJ or MC must be a professional who knows what he or she is doing and will make the guest of honor look good for choosing their service. They want spectacular announcements; Clear and Concise, a great mix of music, and they want to have the best reception, ever!

Pretty standard and straight foreword right?!

Well… it is. I have to usually entertain two to three and sometimes even up to four different cultures. I don’t want to sound too, overly confident, but most of my Weddings and Quinceaneras are very successful and I usually get a big thank you from the bride and groom, Quinceanera, or the parents at the end of every reception. The majority of the people whom I entertain have High Expectations and standards, are Picky, and know exactly what they want. As a result, they are very grateful once their reception comes out as they expected.

So How do you Create that Out of this World Reception?

Practice & N-joy!

Yes, it takes practice and you have to enjoy what you do. The link above is a YouTube website for Brian S. Redd, a DJ in Milwaukee who likes to share his wedding experience on YouTube. I think I watched over 10 of his videos today and I was entertained to see how he works.
