Entertainment Minimum Standards for your DJ, Singer or MC:
Make sure your DJ or MC has what it takes. You are relying on their knowledge, expertise and ability to manage your event professionally. You’ll want to make sure you have a solid list of questions put together to use to interview each wedding entertainer before you let them take over your wedding plans. Take into account the location (indoor/outdoor), the size of the facility, style of music, order of ceremony (dinner or just cake), time they intend to arrive and set up if the reception is in the same building/room, if they have a back up contingency plan due to a flat tire, etc. GO HERE

Wedding Themes:
When going with a theme, ask yourself two questions: Are you following the real customs or simply winging it? And, will any of your guests notice if it’s incorrect and possibly be offended?

If you’re uncomfortable or awkward about having a themed wedding and you want some guidelines, there are actually materials written on this subject. GO HERE
