Excited about DJ intros for next Saturday

This evening, my clients for 10/24/2009 and I met with their DJ to go over the timeline and schedule for the wedding reception. I am actually really excited about this wedding -- not only is the couple really nice, but the DJ had a fabulous idea for the introductions at the reception! This couple has a very large bridal party -- 9 couples, plus ushers and ring bearers. Doing the same song for that large of a group can make for a very long bridal party introduction. However, this couple is going to have each individual couple in the bridal party choose their own song to be introduced to, and the DJ is going to mix it so the song changes every 20 seconds to the next song. What a fabulous idea!

Lifetime Video (the fabulous Matt Pine, Dan Shallenberger and company) is shooting this wedding, so I'll be sure to post that portion of the intros on the blog once it's available. I also liked that the DJ took the initiative to have drink orders ready for the bridal party when they arrive that day. Normally, we do that (as well as pull hors devourers for the bridal party) but I've rarely seen a DJ bring it up before I do. It was a very nice surprise. I hope he does as well on the wedding day as he did tonight. Working with new vendors is always an experience, and it looks like this one is shaping up to be a good one! Great ideas tonight, Brian Benton!
