This morning a DJ called me saying that he’d bought my contact information off of a website that I’d registered with for reading/writing reviews of wedding related vendors. Granted, I had requested that DJs within a certain price range contact me, but most have done it via email or snail mail and not been so forward about having to pay for the right to contact me. This guy called, that’s a nice personal touch, but at 11:30 AM, and WOULD NOT LET ME GET OFF THE PHONE. My problem with the timing was not that it was early, but that if I were not so under employed, it would have been in the middle of my work day! Not an appropriate time to chat for 20 minutes about nothing/weddingy crap with a guy I don’t know. He also kept talking about The Jewish wedding he did a few years back, and had never heard of the St. Julien Hotel, and then asked me what kind of church it was….. Um, just one Jewish wedding doesn’t make me feel confidant, and asking what kind of church was just a fail of listening skills. And, as un-judgmental as I try to be, he sounded kinda backwater and uneducated. I’m sure he’s a very nice man, just a bit more provincial than what I think we’re looking for.
Do we really need a DJ? I think so. A designated MC sounds like a good idea, and we’ll need someone to mic and run sound for the ceremony anyway, so we may as well pay them a few hundred dollars more to stick around and play pretty music for us all afternoon.
I hope the weather behaves for us. Having the ceremony outside, in the courtyard/lawn would be awesome, especially if followed by cocktails on the patio with the waterfall and awesome fireplace. I wish I had a photo of the fireplace. Boo. It’s just to the left of that giant empty flower pot in the lower left corner of the photo.
This lighting looks decidedly Spring-y. I’m hoping it will be a little clearer and brighter in the fall.
