Interesting Wedding request from a bride...

Chuck I dont really see this as her being on a power trip but more like Carolyn said a theme. This years kitchen cabinets lean towards a Black Mahogany stain which I hate but we sell lots with that color cause its popular now. Years ago it was clear OAK which is a much easier process how I wish it was still the shiznit. IF you were doing a Hawaiian Theme Wedding would you pass if they wanted you to wear a Hawaiian shirt?

probably not.... HOWEVER, I have about 15 Hawaiian shirts... and I own no brown clothing or pink clothing. Plus a Hawaiian theme sounds fun. How many men want to get dressed up in pink and brown other than Jay? :sqlaugh::sqeek::sqerr:
 
Lemme ask... since when does a bride's color theme affect wedding vendors? Gosh I've done many a reception over the years and I've never been expected to comply with the color theme.

Same goes for waitstaff in a full service hall. They don't color-coordinate with the wedding party.

I don't look like a bridesmaid and sure as heck don't expect to dress like one. :D
 
come on Fred You are a pink kinda guy admit it. Now Brown might be over the top for you though.

Guess you didn't see the pictures that Wayde photoshopped, and put all over the 'net.
 
I wouldn't be a bit surprised, Papa. John Allo and I had a couple of Photoshopped images done back in the old days. :D

Wolfie ain't a pink kinda guy, Jon but thanks for askin'. I still love ya, Man. ;)
 
I happen to have a brown suit if they want it I will wear it. If all it takes to make my client happy is to wear a certain color? What's the big deal?

I guess I look at it differently, if I can do it and my client will be happy, I will do it. Just my opinion but I think it is customer service.

This is the thing, women look at this differently, they have been imagining this day since they were little girls. Over and over again planning it in their heads, acting it out with their friends and dolls. This day to a woman is the most important day of their lives, if me wearing pink or brown or any other color is going to help this day be perfect for them, will I do it? You betcha.

Maybe they want a photo with me, which is really common for me. I don't see too many wait staff being photographed with the bride.

Carolyn, I was looking at it from just being a guest, not a DJ in my original post. I just flat out wouldn't go if she was insistent that I wear brown and pink.

I also wouldn't take a party like this. I'm not spending $100 - $125 for clothing just so I can match her color scheme. Now, if I actually owned these colors, and she requested it BEFORE we signed a contract, I would MAYBE take the event as long as I didn't think she would be a control freak. But, like I always say, I am not trying to make a living as a DJ. If I was, I might have to be a bit more acommodating.

BTW, I just 10 minutes ago saw a young girl walking down the street. She had a pink shirt, brown skirt, and pink and brown sneakers.
 
I'm in agreement with Carolyn here. I've already learned the value of word of mouth referrals and would bend over backwards when it comes to customer service.

I guess clothing really isn't a problem for me since the g/f of four years now always tells me what to wear to anything important (gotta admit I'm hesitant at times but dang if she sure can dress me better than I ever could alone). Pink and brown is big here at the University of Kentucky, even amonst the fellas, so I'd be even less hesitant to wear such a color combo.

I think it would speak huge volumes to play along with such a theme as the DJ of the event. Even as a guest I'd be pleased to play along with such a theme for a couple hours.

Again, this was a request FOR THE GUESTS, not the DJ. My OP is about the GUESTS.
 
Ok, so it is the guests you were referring to Chuck, I misinterpretted.

Have you ever went to or heard of a Luau or Island theme wedding? Hollywood theme wedding? Victorian theme wedding? Country western wedding? Or even a Halloween costume party wedding?

Even though I don't know this bride I will bet that the colors are her theme, nothing to do with a power trip.

But men who are not being paid to work do not generally wear pink and brown.... that's my real point.

And, actually, no, Carolyn, I have never been to any of those themed functions except a Luau..... and that wasn't for a wedding. Plus, every self respecting man has a Hawaiian shirt, no? :sqwink: In fact, not only have I never been to a themed wedding, I never even knew of anybody who had one, except a Princess Wedding, and that was only for the Bridal Party, not guests.

Well, that's too bad themed weddings are actually really fun. I have personally worked four Country Western themed weddings, two Cinderella theme weddings, one Halloween Costume theme wedding and I couldn't even tell you how many Luau or Island theme weddings.

It is pretty simple really, if I guest doesn't want to wear it than they shouldn't go.
