DJ for Wedding in Boise

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!

Honeymoon Registries - Your Wedding Registry Perfect Answer

Are you having a Boise wedding and are looking for a unique answer for your wedding registry?  Honeymoon Registries are a great alternative to traditional wedding gift registries.  This is option is especially appropriate if:

• You are an established couple without a need for traditional wedding gifts like housewares, home decor, and small appliances
• You LOVE to travel and are dreaming of a honeymoon in an exotic location or in a higher price range
• You are considering a money tree in lieu of gifts at your Boise wedding reception

How it works:

There are many Honeymoon Registry companies ~ some act as travel agencies, booking honeymoon packages.  Others allow guests to "gift" you a certain amount of money to be used toward your honeymoon.  At Sound Wave Music, we recommend doing research and using caution when selecting your Honeymoon Registry company.  This will ensure that you are aware of the terms each company offers and that you choose one that will work  best for you.

Once you select your company, you can include information about your honeymoon plans - including details and photos.  Your wedding guests can visit your personalized website and gift a monetary amount using their credit card. 

As your wedding day and honeymoon approaches, you can use your gifts to plan the honeymoon of your dreams!

At Sound Wave Music, we are your perfect choice for personalized disc jockey entertainment in Boise and the surrounding area.  We can also help plan customized reception and ceremony activities to make your Boise wedding a fun and memorable day for everyone.  Call today for your quote and to learn more about our services.

THE WEDDING CAKE

A wedding cake can add hundreds of dollars to your wedding budget. Bakeries charge as much as $10 per slice (or more) for a multi-tiered and decorated wedding cake; this adds up quickly for a fancy edible centerpiece. Here are some ideas to reduce your cake budget:

• Opt for a smaller, beautifully decorated wedding cake for the bride and groom to share (and/or plaster on each other’s face), and then order a single layer sheet cake to serve to guests. Sheet cakes usually range from $1 - $2 per slice. The difference could be hundreds of dollars!
• Talk to friends, neighbor, coworkers, etc. to find local individuals who bake wedding cakes from home. You will save money and help someone else earn a few extra bucks too.
• Purchase your own cake toppers, ribbons, flowers, and other cake decorations from local craft stores like Joann’s (www.joann.com) or Michael’s (www.michaels.com) to add to a simple wedding cake from Costco or Albertson’s.
• Consider making and/or decorating your own cake. Recruit family and friends and make a day of it! Here are some wedding cake recipes and decorating ideas:

Are you overwhelmed by the decision of choosing a location for your wedding? Weddings in Idaho can be as creative and amazing as you are. Here are a couple unique wedding locations we at Sound Wave Music found for a beautiful Idaho wedding.

Wild Rose Manor

Wild Rose Manor Bed & Breakfast can host your wedding and reception, making it the wedding of your dreams.  They are located just outside Caldwell, Idaho; just a short drive from Boise. They have easy access from I-84 and plenty of parking for your guests.  Wedding package includes tables & chairs for 100, the grounds for the day, rehearsal time, and a suite to get ready for your big day. You are also allowed to bring in the caterer of your choosing. They also provide a beautiful suite for your wedding night. Call for more information (208-454-3331) or visit their website.

Castle Gardens

Step through time into the unique by-gone era of romance and chivalry to make your wedding a magnificent memory. Be King and Queen for a day! From the moment you enter Castle Gardens, you know this is the ideal setting for one of the most memorable days of your life. Kuna, ID 208-922-3626 

2010 is right around the corner and Sound Wave Music is here to help make your Idaho wedding as fun and exciting as possible! 2010 brings new trends in weddings - in addition to the time-honored traditions handed down through generations. In spite of the slump in the economy couples are still having beautiful and memorable weddings, using a little creativity and good old-fashioned elbow grease. Hiring a DJ for wedding music instead of a live band, purchasing a second hand dress, having your reception in the backyard at home, the list is endless. Idaho offers many options for weddings-on-a-budget. 

The next several blog posts will present ideas in wedding planning and budgeting to spark some creativity and inspiration so you can have the wedding of your dreams at a cost you can afford.

A DRESS FOR UNDER $100

Let’s talk about the dress. Have you priced them lately? It really isn’t necessary to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding dress. Because women often sell, donate, or even give away their wedding dress after the ceremony is over, the possibility of finding a fabulous dress for pennies on the dollar is a real option. 

• A search for “wedding dress” on boise.craigslist.org returned 15 wedding dresses under $100 posted in the past ten days. Some have never been worn and the rest worn once or twice. 
• On eBay, hundreds of wedding dresses posted for auction in the past several weeks went unsold, and many more sold for under $100. 
• Another option is to peruse local thrift stores where dresses have been donated: Savers, Deseret Industries, Salvation Army, Idaho Youth Ranch, and more - right here in Boise. 
• Consider employing the services of a local seamstress to alter a dress for a perfect fit and style. Brooke Davis is an experienced seamstress and specializes in wedding wear. For more information see Brooke’s website at http://www.sewbrooke.com. 

Congratulations on your engagement! Sound Wave Music is more than a wedding DJ service. We genuinely care about you and your needs. We will do all we can to help make your special day the most memorable and cherished occasion you can hope for.
