Here is an idea for your wedding. Have your guests “hastag the hell” out of it!
CREATE YOUR OFFICIAL WEDDING HASHTAG
For those of you not familiar with the term, “Hashtagging” is creating an easy way of searching social-networking Web sites for pictures, videos or status updates relating to a specific topic. Simply enough, when you hashtag (#) a word or phrase, you are indexing a very specific topic to make it easy for someone to find on social sites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Vine.
If you have been living under a rock and are not a user of any of the above forementioned social media sites already, the benefits of hashtagging your wedding are a great reason to start!
The hashtag originated for use first on Twitter.com, of course, but is now becoming the goto measuring stick indexing on all social networks. So, what does this mean for weddings? It means more pictures, more videos and more different perspectives of your wedding will be available at your fingertips, for free.
3 STEPS HOW TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING HASHTAG WORK FOR YOU:
1) CREATE YOUR OWN OFFICIAL HASHTAG – If you create an original and uniform hashtag for everyone to use, their will be no guessing or confusion on what word combo should be searched. Try and chose as few letters as possible for less spelling issues, but something that won’t bleed into a hashtag that someone else has already used. A hashtag like #smithwedding has likely already been used by many people, so your best bet would be “#smithwed2013” or “#fredwedsjaney.” Try and pick something original. You can do this by first searching the proposed hashtag on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Vine, so that you are not mixing your event with someone else’s event int he world.
2) SHARE YOUR WEDDING HASHTAG – All you really have to do is announce your custom offical hashtag to all your mobile device using wedding guests, and let the magic begin. Ways to do this can include but are not limited to: adding your hashtag to your reservations and the wedding ceremony program, putting your official hashtag on your place cards or table, and having the disc jockey announce your official hashtag throughout the evening periodically. (If you do not have a DJ set yet, drop me a line! (I know a great one!)
Table Cards
Invitations and programs
Chalkboards
Decorative Signs
3) SEARCH THE HASHTAG – After the event or even during, the hashtag will bring up a well-organized and beautiful log of your special day as it does any topic or event. The hashtag will capture behind the scenes action, as well as a different perspective on the special moments like the kiss at the ceremony, or your introduction and first dace at the reception.
This idea is great for weddings! The benefits are countless. No more messy disposable cameras on the tables. Multiple mediums will be shared. Pictures are available immediately for sharing. Friends and families who were not able to make it can follow the event from afar. Guests can even request songs to a participating DJ!
In the end, you will get extra pictures/videos at the end of the night, as well as annotations from your hashtagging guests all throughout the night.

Want a great place to hold your wedding??? Here’s our DJ Cam quick tour of Pats Barn of Troy, NY.
Pat’s Barn is one of my absolute favorite wedding sites in the Capital District, and it is only 5 minutes or less from our office!
This iphone footage is simple, but effective. Our quick look at Pat’s Barn was shot during a set up for a wedding to help you get an idea of what this nice venue offers. As you can see, you can hold a really super nice rustic theme wedding here, with the ceremony on site.
LOCATION – Pat’s Barn has ample parking with a big lot for all of your guests. It is conveniently located at Rensselaer Technology Park. Technically Troy, NY, Pat’s Barn is near HVCC, within 3 minutes of Interstate 90, with access to the Taconic Parkway, the New York Sate Thruway and the Adirondack Northway nearby.
SPACIOUS – There are three different patios and an upstairs, as well as a great area for dinning. I would recommend a wedding of perhaps 150 guests or so, if you were just seating downstairs, but you can have even more guests if setting up tables upstairs, in a balcony like setting. There is also a great location to hide the bride and groom away in a bridal party suite, upstairs.
FULL KITCHEN – For catering, anything is possible.
Below are some more pictures of this wedding venue option. If you appreciated this virtual tour of Pat’s Barn, please consider us to be your DJ for your big event at 518-506-3305! www.theDJservice.com
Once a year, many businesses finally give an opportunity to their employees to let their hair down and have fun. They set all their fiscal worries aside and throw a big end-of-the-year holiday celebration. These can be really fun and a great way release pent-up stress in the workplace. These same parties can also flop and be a miserable time for all. This leaves you with one important question:
Invest in a Christmas Party DJ
“WHY SHOULD YOU INVEST IN A DJ FOR A HOLIDAY PARTY?”
There are FIVE reasons you should hire a DJ for your office/corporate holiday party:
1) BOOKING A DJ IS PLANNING MADE EASY – If you have joined (or been volunteered) to head up your “Holiday Party Committee,” you probably know how nerve-racking this can be.
You want to please everybody and make it a great time for all so your party will be a success. If it is now time to start planning your Christmas office party, you don’t have to do it alone. You don’t have to kill yourself planning it.
2) CREATE ANTICIPATION – If you want to give corporate clients and/or company employees a good time that they will look forward to all year, you need to ensuring that your corporate Christmas party is a memorable one. To do this, keep one thing in mind about party planning, in general; music makes it better.
Consider TheDJservice.com and leave the rest up to us!
3) INCREASE MORALE – The company Christmas party shouldn’t be a boring affair that employees feel obligated to go to. It really shouldn’t be more work, it should be a reward for working hard. A few stale cookies and some bad sweaters are NOT the way to show thanks to hard-working employees for their efforts and labor throughout the year and developing a high level of team spirit.
Good Christmas parties are an absolute must for companies, no matter what the size. However, a GREAT Holiday Party is an excellent way of offering a huge thank you to your staff.

4) DEVELOP TEAM SPIRIT – If you want your employees to work harder than they would at a normal job, you must reward your team for working their butts off by hosting lots of fun social events. For a few hundred dollars, these experiences can be invaluable from a team-building perspective.
For many, nothing is a better unwinding mechanism than an opportunity to listen and dance to great music.
An office holiday party with a DJ is a great opportunity to let your employees know that the bosses are people, too.
5) CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE FOR SUCCESS – Many of our successful corporation clients have realized that the services of a disc jockey are essential to their events. Not only do company holiday parties give the staff time to relax but they also encourage close interaction among all the different types of employees and thus motivate the entire company as a whole.

Here is a great simple layout for an alternative for that boring regular wedding guestbook that is fun and you can actually play with! How about a Jenga Wedding guestbook???
Simply enough, this layout is perfect to make the idea happen at your wedding. I saw it at a recent wedding I was the DJ for and loved it!
All you need to replicate this cool layout for your own wedding is a few decorative letters from say a craft store, a number of markers, a basket, and a chalkboard or framed picture for directions.
