Hey guys! So the wedding and reception were HUGE successes. The LED lights really set the room off and added high lights to the church. The ceremony music went off perfectly and everyone commented on how beautiful the service was and how the music fit perfectly. Of course it didn't hurt that I am a service producer for my church and was able to go over the cues with the sound guy with timing.
The DJ at the reception was awesome. We hardly even knew he was there, they played all of our requests, got in some guest requests, dinner music was perfect (except for a few minutes when the music got just a little too loud, but they fixed it quickly), they used all of our event songs and everyone loved them! There was lots of dancing with our friends and the cousins and even a few Aunts and Uncles. Of course there were a lot of older people not dancing, but oh well. Everyone loved the music (they thought it was a great mix of slow, fast, and different genres and no one missed the outlawed music types, not even one request for rap, hip hop, r&b, top 100, etc) and even though her parents threw a mini-fit about the lack of chicken dance, etc no one missed them when the reception got swinging. The only problem the DJ had was (predictably, I called this one when a meal was first mentioned) getting people up from their tables after the meal.
All in all, it was amazing. Thanks for all of your input guys, things went swimmingly. We planned an event that reflected our tastes and things we thought our guests would enjoy. Turns out we were right. Everyone had a great time. We head back tomorrow from our honeymoon!
Hope you are all well.
