 Looking for a fun way to gather song requests from your guests for your Boise Wedding? One of our recent Brides had a great idea - she had a place for song requests on her RSVP reply cards. When we met with her to do planning she had compiled all the song requests and gave them to us (her Boise DJ) to prepare for the wedding. What a great idea! Wedding guests LOVE to request songs - it helps them feel involved and excited about your wedding reception. When it comes to song requests, a great Boise DJ will make sure the requests are appropriate for your wedding and fit what you want to hear that evening. When songs are requested that won't fit well into the evening, your DJ should work with the guests to request more or different songs. At Sound Wave Music, our DJs are fully trained to work with guests in a fun, friendly, and professional way so they can request songs all night long. Kristin Cole Sound Wave Music Boise Wedding DJ Add Comment  Photo Courtesy of Ampersand Studios Lately I have been receiving a lot of questions about how far in advance someone should book their DJ for their Boise Wedding or Party. This is a GREAT question. We have found that DJs are one of the last event vendor booked - but is one of the very most important. BOISE WEDDINGS: When it comes to weddings we recommend booking your DJ at least 6 months in advance - depending on the time of year you get engaged. The busiest booking time for DJs in the Boise area is January-March. Come the middle of March, most of the higher end DJs have their summers completely or nearly completely booked, which just a few openings on Fridays or weekdays. If you get engaged in the fall or winter we recommend booking as soon as feasible for you and your fiance to secure your date. This also allows you to take advantage of winter booking specials (we offer a promotion for all summer wedding booked between Halloween and New Year's). Many Brides wait until the January wedding shows to book so they can meet and interview many different DJs. This is a fine plan, but just be aware that starting at the Wedding Shows in the weeks after, dates fill up QUICKLY. If you have a fall or winter wedding, we recommend having your DJ secured by June. Around this time many DJs book fall and winter dates for school dances and company parties - but you want to make sure you have priority, so book early. BOISE EVENTS: When booking a DJ for your Boise Event, 4-6 months in advance is usually sufficient. It does, however, availability will depend on what time of year your event is being held. Summer months are busy months for weddings (May-August) and December is common for company parties. If you are holding an event during these busy months, especially on a Saturday, the earlier you can book the better. Hope this helps answer some questions about how early to book your Boise DJ for your wedding or event. Remember, it is never to early to reserve your date - you might be glad you did! :) Kristin Cole Sound Wave Music Boise DJ - Weddings, Parties, Events  We recently had the opportunity to meet the owner of Floating Feather Day Spa and then had a great experience at her Spa!

Kristin Cole Sound Wave Music Boise Wedding DJ Boise Wedding Idea - Gift to Honor Wedding Party - Sound Wave Music - Wedding DJ in Boise 08/05/2010
 Gift idea for the Maid of Honor and / or Bridesmaids Planning the perfect wedding takes work and cooperation from many different individuals. The most relied upon (for the bride anyway) are the Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids. To thank them, you would like to give them a special gift, something unique yet useful , special, and meaningful. Here is an idea for a unique gift that she will use for years to come: Survival pack : Create an economical and useful rescue kit that can be used later as a personal cosmetic bag and meaningful memento from the special day! Purchase an empty cosmetic bag in your choice of color; insert a Thank You Card and stuff with your choice (most of these items can be purchase at the local dollar store): Band-aids, clear fingernail polish, nail file, hair ties, hair spray, lotion, tissues, small sewing kit, stain remover pen, mints, hard candy, folding hairbrush with mirror, bobby pins, Chapstick, moist towelette, any other items you feel would be useful or fun! If possible, have Bridesmaid’s name or initials embroidered on outside of bag. With the possible exception of the Maid of Honor, consider giving each the same gift but in different colors.

We are Boise’s Best Wedding DJ because, not only do we provide exceptional customer service, we care! Kristin Cole Sound Wave Music Boise's Best DJ  We just learned about a great incentive for any Boise Bride who is considering having their wedding at The Holiday Inn in Boise in 2010. "InterContinental Hotels Group's Holiday Inn chain launched a campaign May 26 to increase its profile in the weddings industry. Consumers who book a reception from June 1 to December 30 at any Holiday Inn could receive a gift card up to $750 toward their honeymoon. Members of the company's Priority Club Rewards program can also win prizes through the “Honeymoon on Us” contest, which Holiday Inn will promote heavily on Twitter. The initiative was created internally. Loyalty program members who follow @IHGDeals on Twitter will see a Tweet from the hotel brand at least once a day with an option to win. “Twitter is a good way for us to get the word out about this.,” said Del Ross, VP of US sales and marketing at IHG. “We launched the @IHG_Deals Twitter account in December for a different promotion, and it was really successful — we made some money off of it and created some Priority Club enrollment.” Consumers can enter drawings for “massive amounts” of Priority Club Rewards points they can redeem for merchandise or gift cards, Ross said. The grand prize is enough points to win a full registry. The contest will run for about a month." (Nathan Golia) This is a great incentive for any Bride still considering her Boise venue options. The Holiday Inn Boise Airport has great event facilities and is perfect for a wedding reception or party. Their largest room can accommodate 450 people, offers in house catering, all tables/chairs/linens, and more. Visit their WEBSITE for more details. Best wishes planning your special Boise wedding.

 Photo Booth Boise This weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to DJ a FUN wedding reception for J&N at the Barber Park Event Center in Boise. Our Boise DJs had a great time and were impressed with what a great party the reception was. One thing we love about DJing Boise Weddings is the opportunity to see some GREAT ideas. One idea we loved from this Boise wedding had to do with the Photo Booth they rented. There are several photo booth companies in Boise - The Fun Box, Captions, and the Photo Booth Boise. All 3 of these are very reliable, fun, and have great owners. J&N had the Photo Booth Boise and the thing we really thought was unique and different about this company is that they provide COSTUMES for the guests to dress up in for the photos. Our DJs thought this was just brilliant - and the guests LOVED it too! In fact, the Bride and Groom were taking photos with the guests for most of the evening and had such a blast. Visit the website for Photo Booth Boise for more information, ideas, and pricing.
