Circa Sept 2015 – Happy Bride = Happy Wedding Day – Why is she alone in the dining area? I’ll tell you in a moment. So, every year I meet brides who have already chosen their wedding date. It’s the first thing they decide before hiring vendors. It’s understandable. However, from time to time I’m fortunate to consult with brides who contact me just to get a general price quote. In these cases the bride informs me that they have narrowed down several dates. I proceed to give them the do’s & don’ts. 100% of the time the brides faces light up to the secret information and statistics I present. Rule #1, having your wedding day in December, a Holiday weekend, the Fourth of July, Memorial or Labor day weekend is never a great idea. Why? There will always be guests you need to attend or to be in your wedding that have a yearly family tradition of their own and with non-refundable deposits. It’s happened 9 times that a bride calls me in distress asking to change the wedding date due to scheduling conflicts of family, bridal party members or Godparents etc. In December, Corporate execs must be present for their Company Xmas Award/Party. Families to stay together and they work hard all year just for that 3-day vacation get away to refresh their batteries. Best Date? The last 2 Saturdays of July. So, this bride in picture chose the perfect month; September and avoided Labor Day. She is hiding from the groom just before ceremony start. #mrdjservices #weddingdj #dj
