How should I pick the music for the wedding reception?
    Thanks to John Draisey, we have a comprehensive list for you to choose from! This list is just a very small choice of songs and is to help you to get an idea of the music you would want played for your special day. I have always found it best to have the Bride & Groom to pick atleast 30 songs that they love and make up a custom playlist for the reception, and so far in over 10 years of DJing it has worked out great.

I discuss some great ways to avoid stress on your wedding day in my previous post. photographer should be chosen after careful decision. I chose mine, because he was the same guy who had done my mother's wedding, my aunt's wedding, and my cousin's wedding. I didn't even look at other options! Not great on my part, but hey, I wasn't thinking straight sixteen years ago. I was in love and silly, and just wanted to be married. Looking back I would have like to taken a lot of my advice now. Not about choosing a husband, I still like him! Since I can't change my wedding. I thought I would help you. I'm not knocking the photographer that we had. He's a very talented photographer.
