...I made my clients wedding much different than the rest.

In his seminar in Minnesota (Northern DJ Convention, PM John Young) Peter showed a video where the bride grabbed the bouquet and ran out while the Benny Hill Theme played. I've wanted to do this since...

Background info:

MoH is the bride's best friend.
Groomsman #2 has the biggest (most obvious) crush on her. He thinks no one knows this.

We arranged it so during the garter toss every guy ran out screaming while the poor groomsman was the only one that caught it.

Come the garter toss, we had the MoH jump halfway through the count down and grab the bouquet. She ran out like a maniac screaming (Benny Hill theme song playing, of course.)

The audience thought this was all for real.

We played it well with the Replacements.. asking questions such as "Do you guys know each other? No-- well, you will know each other real well soon."
His smile was getting bigger and bigger-- just before he lifted her leg we stopped the music.

Then we switched them around.

Good stuff-- lots of great laughs, tons of jokes being said. I got compliments on it for the rest of the night. Several people came up and shook my hand.. it was fun.


Music list:

1) Garter Removal: Pink Panther Theme
2) Garter Toss: Another Bites the Dust
3) Bouqet Toss: Monday Night Football Theme
4) Switching Song: Will Smith - Switch (Chorus)
5) Putting on Garter: Dude Looks Like a Lady
6) Putting on Garter, standing up: I'm Coming Out.


Thanks!

Really!

Doesn't the ADJA have it's own forum site? ProDJ???

Isn't that where Peter and his gang hang out?

Perhaps you would be more comfortable there!

Steve, that was completely uncalled for.

Arnoldo was sharing something that he happened to pick up from Peter's seminar. It worked for him and he was just telling us how it went.

Jay the Qoute Button must be messed up then because what I qouted was this:

And this is what I responded to!

I also responded to the other post he made.

Stuff like that is great. As funny as I think that is, most of my clients would NEVER do it. I have people go out of their way to tell me they don't want any "antics".

I think you were probably already the type of entertainer to pull that off. It's too bad you had to attend a seminar to realize it.

Using someone else's ideas only makes you an extension of them.
 
Some will, some won't. Your job is to find out who would like this kind of thing and who would think it was silly. We all work for different people and different things work at different receptions.

A long time ago I had many DJs on various boards tell me that I would never be able to book a high end wedding reception due to the name of my business. They were WRONG. Don't limit yourself, different strokes for different folks.

Request Line..

I've been doing the Reverse Garter Replacement for as long as I remember... most of my clients prefer that to avoid any uneasiness... However, I never thought about a girl actually running and grabbing the bouquet, and I am sure there are many people who haven't either.

What I saw on his seminar helped me solve what my client wanted: to get the MoH of Groomsman #2 to be the ones to do it.


No extensions there..
 
I think it was put here because the title indicates it is a shout out about Peter's products, and the first line of the post deals completely with his products and seminars.
 
Patrick, if the thread was titled "Thanks to Patrick" do you think it would have been moved here?

I'm seeing a nasty predisposed hate of ANYONE who has a book/DVD/Seminar out.

Tyrone, better watch out before they attack your book.;)
 
Ace,

If Patrick was hawking a Seminar, Book or DVD and you were posting about it, I would say that yes he would expect it to be put in the proper location.

What makes you think any of us hate people that put out seminars, books and DVDs? Personally I think anyone who wants to has every right to do so and they can post about it on this or any other site. But once they do, I also think others have every right to voice their opinions on the subject. If the author of said seminar, book or DVD is stupid enough to make comments on the abilities mental level or professionalism of the others then I think there is going to be a backlash.

I haven't seen anyone mention the word hate except for you! What makes you such a hater?
