I met with a bride and groom the other day. During the course of the conversation, they mentioned they were helping a friend with her wedding....they were manning the iPod. Oh boy!
I offered to help as much as I could, if needed. I hate to see anybody's day not be the best that it can be. I shared with them how, on July 4th, we had some friends over and I put on my XM radio. What a disaster!!! I ended up pulling out a rig and DJing my own party!
Here's an email she sent me today. I got her permission to repost it here. I've changed the names.
Kevin,We are sending the contract out today. We had 98% decided that a DJ and your business in particular was what we wanted and the wedding this weekend just confirmed that choice! You were very right about the trials of an ipod wedding. The wedding was successful and beautiful, but part of that success was at mine and Jimmy's expense, as we were running around trying to set the music up and determine who, if anyone, was making the announcements and moving everything along. The couple, especially Jackie, are probably two of the most organized people I know of and even with their detailed schedules and itineraries, there were delays and confusion that could have easily been handled by a professional (who didn't have a personal stake in the friendship of the couple).In addition to the lack of announcements, there was practically no dancing and though we tried to read the crowd, we were very limited by the playlist the couple had put together. In short- We are true believers now! We are very excited to work with you and are looking forward to having a wedding reception that everyone enjoys!Thanks again!SallyThanks for reading!
