Naples DJ: Josh and Sasha 10.13.2012

TIPS FOR A GREAT RECEPTION:

1.) Have the bar in the same room as the reception. People tend to naturally gravitate to the bar, so keeping it in the room will keep them near the fun.

2.) DJ by the dance floor! Your DJ & the sound system needs to be at the edge of the dance floor. Do not make the mistake of having the DJ place the loud speakers a distance away from the dance floor. Playing music over & thru the guest tables can make for an uncomfortable experience.

3.) When arranging the seating chart, it's important to have your relatives seated close by. It's a great suggestion to not have Grandma and Grandpa sit in front of where the speakers may be placed.

4.) You are the party. When you dance, the dance floor will be full. Realize that if you spend your time visiting or outside, your guests will be wherever you are at. So dance all night!

5.) Arrange with the catering manager to have some hors d'oeuvres and your favorite drinks ready for you and the bridal party immediately after photos. You'll be glad you did.

Josh and Sasha 10.13.2012

There's so much I'd like to say about Josh and Sasha's wedding! They are the sweetest people, and they live down our street! Also it was fun for us as there were a few couples at their wedding that we also DJ'd for their wedding receptions. And we were happily surprised to see the new couple as guests at a wedding we were DJ'ing in early November. It's always great to catch up with old friends!

Sasha and Josh were married and had their reception at The Quarry. The Ceremony was on the "beach side" and the reception on the "golf side." What a gorgeous day it was in Naples! Their photographer was Maria from Butterfly Kisses. The Pastor that married explained during the service how he has seen Sasha grow up. He told how Sasha was close friends with his daughter since they were little. Sasha had told us how very special it was to them to have him perform their reception.

Sasha looked so pretty and elegant for her special day. They make such a great couple.

After the ceremony the guests went over to the other side at the Golf Lodge on the patio. For the introductions Josh and Sasha picked surprise songs for each of the couples to be introduced to. Some of the songs were "Hot Legs", "I Feel Good", Kashmir", "Apache", "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It", and "Bring 'Em Out" for the two of them. It was fun to watch each couple get excited at the surprise songs.

Sasha and Josh did their First Dance, toasts, dinner, cake cutting and the parent dances too. Later was the bouquet and garter toss. I loved the bridesmaids dresses and the colors for the wedding also!

The wedding was a complete success. The dance floor was packed from the first song until the last. I don't think they ever left the floor! Congratulations Josh & Sasha!

Oh my god! She is gorgeous! Well, both of them got lucky. I am sure it would have been a fun party near the beach. My wedding was in one of the Chicago event venues but I am planning my first anniversary at a venue that is on a beach-side. There is something special about those places.
