Marriage really is a beautiful thing. I used to think it was a bit pointless, just a piece of paper that allows you an extra tax cut. However, the more I thought about it, the more I learned to appreciate what marriage could be.
Marriage gets a bad rap because most people are really bad at it. It’s not marriage’s fault. It’s the couples’ fault for being neither mature enough nor smart enough to manage.

Rain Free Wedding

Blog Post From The Knot
By: Simone Hill
It’s true, there’s actually a service that can guarantee it will not rain on your wedding day — if you have a spare $100,000 in your wedding budget. A company called  Oliver’s Travels recently started offering couples who get married at their wedding venue in France this expensive service. What they’re doing is called “cloud seeding,” and it involves releasing (via airplane) a chemical compound called silver iodide into the clouds to get them to quickly create rain and then disappear.
But we’re not convinced having a rain-free wedding day is such a good idea, or worth the price tag. Here’s why:

The Snowball Dance

Snow Ball Dance
The Snowball Dance is a great way to get wedding guests moving to the dance floor. An up-tempo song is played as the the wedding party is called to the dance floor. The bridal party begins dancing. When the music stops, the female members of the bridal party go to the seated guests and bring back another male partner. The males of the bridal party do the same and bring back a female partner. The fun continues until every able body dancer is on the dance floor!
You can also start the Snowball Dance by calling one couple from each table to the dance floor to join the bridal party.

Finding and booking the right disc jockey for your wedding reception is a very important decision and should be made very carefully. Hire the wrong one and it can ruin your whole day! A bad DJ can actually turn your reception into a nightmare, please be very careful who you hire to work one of the most important days of your life.
You will usually find quite a few DJs in your area to choose from, and they will range in experience from casual guys that moonlight and do it on the side to professional wedding and corporate DJ companies and DJ’s that can come equipped with their own professional sound and lighting show.
Prices for DJs 
Prices can usually range from $400 to $3,000 when booking a DJ, the average being around $1,200 for a professional and depending on who and what you include. There’s various things to think about that help make up your cost e.g. lighting and what type of lighting you’re after, duration DJ booked for, Reception music only or cocktail music during photos/dinner or sound for the whole day including the Ceremony…plus there’s travel costs or possibly accommodation…make sure you ask these questions or submit the information when asking or filling out a quote form.
Professional DJs and Experience Counts
The bottom line in deciding on your DJ, and the single most determining factor, should be experience, experience, experience. You should always hire the DJ with the most experience – specifically wedding reception experience – that you can find.
There is a flow to wedding receptions and a professional, experienced wedding DJ that has done many receptions is familiar with how receptions proceed, the traditions, and how to emcee and keep your reception moving along and keep your guests happy and dancing. There is also nobody that can save your reception faster when something goes wrong, food gets delayed, or other things happen, than a really experienced wedding reception DJ. Most of the time your guests will never know of a problem as the DJ has kept them entertained while the problem was fixed.
If you are using a DJ company, a good idea is to always insist on hiring the owner of the company. The owner will probably cost more to hire but they will almost always have more experience and it is usually well worth the extra money. You can specify this in your contract with no substitutions allowed so they can’t switch at the last minute.
