So I posted the thread about photographers, now I am on to the reception music, ha ha 😉

I am so anxious it’s not even funny. We just need music for the reception (ceremony is already figured out). We really can’t afford a live band. DJ it is.

But I am terrified of DJs! I have nightmares of the entire party being covered in a thick layer of cheeeeeese by the end of the evening.

Or, nightmare #2, the DJ will ignore my explicit instructions and  play rap or “stripper” music. Not the elegant atmosphere I’m going for. I love pop music don’t get me wrong but I don’t want to hear about Usher bagging you like some groceries, or about Katy Perry going all the way tonight or melting your popsicle or really any Katy Perry song.

So does anybody have any suggestions for good, classy, OBEDIENT, DJs? That preferably cost $800 or less for five hours of work?

lol this entire post made me giggle. I’m hiring friends of mine to DJ and I told them NO this no that and made sure to be very loud when I mentioned if it’s not house/dnb/trance/ or dubstep turn it off or I will. People will do what you tell them or at least I hope!

Make a must play/ must not play list

As for $800 that depends where you are, and what all you’d like them to bring or include… don’t forget to ask about lights/ special features and other such fun things!

We asked our guests to write 2 songs they like on the RSVP cards.  Is that (or something similar) an option?  you can hand it over to the DJ and he/she can come up with a good mix.
