 We just finished up Weddings Week 2010. It was an AWESOME bridal show and Boise State University in the Stueckle Sky Box. The location was beautiful with lots of space, beautiful sunsets in the evenings, and talented vendors. We really enjoyed talking to Boise brides about their plans (one of our favorite things to do!) and getting to know some of Boise's best wedding vendors like Significant Moments, Floating Feather Day Spa, Studio 51 Designs, BE Productions, Ampersand Studios, Flutterby Floral, Bliss, Greg Hoskins Photography, and MORE! The week of events wrapped up with a FUN casino party for the Brides and Vendors at the Linen Building in Downtown Boise. We DJ'd the event and the turn out was great. Thanks for everyone who came, helped out, and made a GREAT party. See you at your next event! Adam Cole Sound Wave Music Boise Disc Jockey 1 Comment  Wedding Planning – For the Groom! Men, when you think about planning a wedding, do you think about choosing the colors, planning refreshments, and buying a dress? No, of course not! But you still play a crucial role in the overall success of the wedding ceremony and reception. After all, if it weren’t for you, there would not be a wedding! So what can you do to be involved but not end up having to choose icing flavors or napkin designs? This blog’s for you! First, know something about diamonds. You might spend a month (or 3 months) salary on a ring, but what you know can help you avoid paying for more than you receive. Be familiar with the 4 Cs: Cut, Clarity, Carat, and Color. The following website contains some good guidelines to follow when considering a diamond purchase: http://www.thediamondbuyingguide.com/fourcsofdiamonds.html Locally, the knowledgeable salespeople at Lee Read Jewelers are happy to help! Second, consider the location. Do you know of some great locations where the reception might be held? Maybe a place a buddy or family member has used in the past that you were impressed with. Make the arrangements for a personal tour with your fiancée. Third, offer suggestions for the wedding music. What song(s) will be most meaningful to you as the first dance with your new wife? Or what would you like to dance to with your mother? Do you want music playing in the background during the ceremony or reception? If so, what type or music? Or better yet, what type of music will you not tolerate? Fourth, arrange transportation after the wedding. Imagine her surprise when the limousine pulls up to whisk you both off for your wedding night. You can choose the mode of transportation, the company to provide it, and even the final destination. Flowers and candles, once the two of you are finally alone, are a very nice finishing touch. We at Sound Wave Music are happy to share more tips and tricks for a fun and exciting Idaho wedding. Your satisfaction is our goal. That is why we are Idaho’s #1 wedding DJ. Give us a call today and let the fun begin!

 Photo Courtesy of D/C Photography Have you ever thought, if I knew then what I know now, I would do X, Y, and Z different? This blog post lets you in on a few ideas that couples have shared after reflecting on what they would do different if they did their wedding again: 1) Hire a DJ/MC with a loud speaker to give instructions to guests, especially during the official photo session. It can be a real battle to gather everyone together for photographs. And because most photographers charge by the hour, time spent rounding people up is money spent needlessly. 2) Don’t settle. If you have your heart set on a specific type of flower or style of dress, get it! 3) If you are going to serve cupcakes don’t make and frost them yourself. It creates unnecessary stress right before the big day. Recruit friends to do the cupcakes or use a sheet cake instead. 4) Assign someone to be in charge of your bouquet. After the festivities are over, you will likely be tired and thinking about things other than your bouquet. Later you will be thankful someone else picked it up for you. 5) Be assertive. Don’t give in to other people’s opinions about plans for your wedding. You have the final say. Thank them for their input then make your own decisions. 6) Ask the bridesmaids to choose their own dresses (with a few guidelines such as color, modesty, etc.). This will reduce the stress involved in planning and coordinating the perfect match, especially considering the different sizes and style preferences of the bridesmaids. 7) Plan your songs in advance with your wedding DJ. Educate the DJ on your preferences (likes and dislikes) so the music fits your style. Also, consider older songs (waltzes, polkas, etc.) for older guests earlier in the evening and save the louder “party” songs for later after the older folks have retired. 8) Serve finger foods instead of a full sit-down meal. This is a huge money-saver. 9) Plan for inclement weather. If you have an outdoor wedding/reception, make sure you have an alternate location in case it rains. Also, tents do not hold up very well in the wind. Research your location so you know in advance what to expect weather-wise. 10) Take enough time in planning so you have exactly the wedding you dreamed of. Longer planning time = less stress, less skimping, more perfection! Do you have ideas for planning the perfect wedding? Post your thoughts and comments here.

Kristin Cole Sound Wave Music Wedding Disc Jockey in Boise Wedding DJ in Boise  One of the best additions you could choose to have at your Boise wedding reception is a Wireless Microphone. A great DJ will have this ready and available for your party. This gives the MC or DJ in charge the ability to move around and interact with your guests. For instance, if you decide that the toasts might be better given by your parents and grandparents, a wireless mic is a necessity. Flexibility is important at your party. Your DJ or MC should be able to do whatever you would like at a moment’s notice. Your DJ can use the wireless mic for activities, games, trivia, dancing on the dance floor, etc. There are many ways to use this great tool to your advantage. Just ask your DJ about a Wireless Mic and good luck with selecting a great Boise Disc Jockey.
