6 Lighting Terms You Need To Know Lights.

Free Wedding Toast Tips & Samples By James Nardel A Wedding toast is a great way to wish the new couple well, but it can be hard to get it just right if you’ve never done it before. If you feel a lot of emotion about the union, it may be even more difficult to get the toast just right. Keeping it simple really helps, as well as keeping it short. Remember that a wedding toast is simply a way to let the new couple know that you are excited for them, and that you were happy that they made you a part of their day. The more you try to put into a wedding toast the more complicated it can be, so don’t try to pack too much into the toast. Wedding Speech Below is a very simple wedding toast that you can use regardless of how well you know both of the bride and the groom. This is also a great way to make a wedding toast when you really want to wish the couple well but you aren’t too sure what to say! “First, I wanted to say congratulations to Bill and Nancy!

Introducing Rockstar Limo – Your Wedding Transportation Choice! Booking wedding transportation isn’t always the “fun” or “pretty” part of wedding planning, but it’s one of the most important pieces of the puzzle.  Wedding transportation is full of logistics and it determines the timeline of the day. Let’s face it, what is the point of celebrating if nobody makes it there! Most couples will typically find that choosing the appropriate amount of wedding transportation and knowing when to reserve it are two of the most challenging parts of the process. Many wedding websites will suggest booking transportation about 4 months in advance.  Unfortunately, in our area, this is often FAR too close to the wedding to guarantee they will receive what they want or even need. For Saturday wedding transportation, we recommend about 9-12 months in advance for most vehicle types (trolleys, stretch limos, party buses, and shuttle buses).  Esp...

We knew the moment we had our first call with him that he was going to be a perfect fit for what we were looking for in a DJ. He was very organized and made planning the music for the wedding easy! DJ Sam and Chloe exceeded all of our expectations the day of the wedding and the dance floor was packed the entire night! He also provided the uplighting for the room since we had seen other couples use the uplighting at our venue and it added a nice tough t...

Everyone should have one at their wedding…. but sometimes Bride and Grooms make some serious mistakes with their choices.  Let’s make sure you don’t: Availability For a photo booth wedding have the photo booth available starting with the cocktail hour.  Guests are often looking for something to do, and the curiosity factor is high.
