A GUESTBOOK IDEA FOR THE DECADES

It has become the standard that upon arrival to the reception site, guests sign a book to represent their attendance at the reception.  At the conclusion of the reception, chances are good that these books end up on a shelf in a closet or in a box, rarely, if ever, to be revisited.   Consider ushering in a keepsake that can be displayed in your home.  How about having guests sign a unique puzzle that may be displayed on a wall in your home.  If you are a musician and play the guitar, purchase an inexpensive acoustic and have guests sign the face of the guitar which also may be displayed on a wall.  Have a professional construct a silhouette of the two of you which guests may sign.  For the tech savvy, how about using Instagram on your wedding day whereby guests may write notes, submit and even print them off at a later date.  Make it memorable, make it fun, make it you.

SPIN DANCEABLE MUSIC GUARANTEED TO PACK THE DANCE FLOOR

Experiencing an awesome night of dancing and fun is the flagship at any wedding reception, but attracting your diverse mix of guests to the dance floor can sometimes be a challenge.  Engage your guests with fun songs they will want to dance to.  Regardless of whether you have retained a band or a DJ, if you envision a packed dance floor, consider a playlist of songs that will encompass all in attendance and mix it up.  As the couple under the spotlight, you may undoubtedly have your own personal faves, but do they reflect the preferences of your guests?  In spite of the fact that it’s your day, your wedding reception isn’t necessarily the time to showcase your discerning tastes as the main entrée of music.  By all means, your personal favorites should be mixed in and a talented entertainer will know when to fit them in.  People love dancing to music that makes them feel good and to which they are familiar.  You may love Indie Rock, but will your guests flock to the dance floor to embrace this music?  Bottom line:  Plan accordingly with your entertainer and take your guests into consideration during this process and you will deliver an all inclusive event.

Cruising Down Memory Lane

As a Columbus Ohio wedding DJ, I’m in tune with the concept of making your guests feel like essential parts of your big day by incorporating them into the decor to even include a gallery.  You may consider hanging pictures of the bride & groom with friends and family along the corridor leading from the ceremony to the reception.  It will ignite the conversations during cocktail hour and as your guests discover pictures of themselves with you, the reminiscing will be magical.

A Non-Traditional Grand Entrance

When facing your guests for the first time as husband and wife at the wedding reception, break from tradition with a high energy unexpected grand entrance.  This could include a choreographed entrance whereby bridal party members stage their moves to a preplanned song for each pairing and after all bridal party members have entered, they form a tunnel for the bride and groom who traverse the tunnel with some special moves of their own.  Another suggestion is to have the DJ read something funny or clever on behalf of each bridal party member when they are introduced.  Either way, it will make a big impression and set the tone for a fun, high impact event your guests will be sure to remember.

A Lifetime of Memories Video Montage

It has been said that once in a lifetime, you find someone, a soul-mate to accompany you through the journey of life.  _____ and _____ have found their soul-mate in one another and at this time, would like to share with you a lifetime of memories.  Couples frequently share with me that they have created a video with pictures of themselves as children, fun family memories and of themselves when they first met; winding through the dating years and ending on the doorstep of their wedding day.  If music is not already built into the video, Millennium Mobile DJ will coordinate with clients, music that best captures the mood.   This is a great way to invite guests into the lives of the bride & groom and will surely spark up nostalgia among some in attendance.  An opportune time to play the video is toward the end of dinner, prior to the commencement of formalities, as it will bring everyone closer together and help set the stage for an evening of dancing and fun.

Serenade the Bride/Groom

A great way to honor the bride and groom! Consider serenading them just after the best man’s toast whereby family and friends gather close to the couple and sing well wishes. The newlyweds will most likely embrace this deed and in the process, who knows, someone may discover they have an aptitude for the mic. In advance, it is suggested that family and friends receive a heads-us so they can prep their delivery for maximum impact. Of course, this can also be totally impromptu and guests may scramble to work in teams to offer up a heartfelt well wish and sing their best song.
