Band Or Mobile Wedding DJ? And Other Questions

By Marissa Velazquez


Getting engaged is a huge, exciting event in one's life, and the wedding is an even bigger event. In between, however, comes the planning. Putting a wedding together can be a fun, but it can also be very stressful. It presents many questions, such as whether to hire a wedding planner, how many people to invite, how to cater the event, who should be in the party, and whether to hire a band or a mobile wedding DJ.

Should I hire a wedding planner? This depends on a lot of different factors, including the size of your guest list, the amount of time you have to plan, the amount of money you have to spend, and your own personal preference. If you enjoy planning events and have the time to do it, why not take care of the arrangements yourself, with the help of friends? However, if that prospect seems daunting and you have the money to hire someone, go for it.

How many guests should we have? If both people in the couple have large families, but the budget for the event is small, the guest list can be a source of stress. In this situation, many people find it best to have a small ceremony and reception, with a very limited number of guests. Another option is to invite many people to the ceremony itself, but fewer people to the reception.

What are the best locations for my reception and ceremony? This depends on a few things, such as whether you want to get married in a religious space or a secular space, the number of guests, and of course your budget. If you have a connection with a church, synagogue, or reception hall, you might be able to use the space for free or for a low cost. Another possibility is an in-home or outdoor ceremony and reception, which can work beautifully if you have a small number of guests.

What kind of food should I serve? Lots of couple choose to hire a professional catering service that provides a full meal or a buffet. If the budget does not allow for this, however, you could serve only cocktails and finger foods, or have a meal cooked by relatives or friends.

Who should you include in the wedding party? Many fights erupt over this question. If you envision hurt feelings and arguments over this issue, consider limiting your wedding party to one person for each member of the couple. Ask other friends and family members to help in different ways.

DJ or Band? This decision is influenced by the space in which the reception will take place, the type of music you prefer, and the kind of party you envision. Like everything else, it also concerns the budget.

If you know a mobile wedding dj, he or she might also play for a lower cost. Start talking to people as soon as possible. If you get your planning going early, it can help to avoid the added stress of making decisions at the last minute. You want your planning to be a good memory, rather than an unpleasant one.
