157 dtg!!!

Finally met our DJ today!!

His name is Alvin and he seemed super cool and super confident. He gave us a great deal, since we don't need anything special or fancy. He supplied us with a list of songs that are really popular, and after weeding through over 200 of them, we came up with about 50 songs that we deem appropriate for an evening of awesome dancing.

Since we already have a theme/style of music set for the cocktail hour and dinner portion, that is easy to organize. It's all the special songs that need to be pin-pointed, like the first dance (which I think we have decided on, but that may change), the father-daughter dance, the song I walk down the aisle to......the song they play after we have said I do.....to the song played when we enter the reception.

They already have a drop down projector and screen set up at Martinelli, we were debating on whether or not to do a photo slideshow/montage of us and our families throughout the dinner. It would just play in the background and people can watch it if they want to.

But after hearing a great idea from Alvin, we are probably going to do it for sure! He has music videos for almost all of these songs......and can play them through the projector while we're dancing! And if there isn't a music video for a certain part of the evening, he can just put up our names/monogram to stay on the screen.....hopefully it is easy to do/set up. I'll have to check with the planners at Martinelli to make sure.

I've seen it done in clubs before and it's a nice added touch. Gives people sitting around something to watch/look at if they don't want to dance, and the people dancing try and imitate the dance moves sometimes. More entertainment! I just want people to have a good time!!!

Another thing down! Whoo hoo!!!
