Honestly, there is only one thing you really need to think about when putting your guest seating chart together… KEEP THE OLD PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE DJ!!!
God bless them, but they hate loud music.
Shelter Elderly Wedding Guests from The Evil DJ!
That is ironic, you might say, as these are the same people who can’t hear well, often due to age. However, it never seems to fail. Those who can’t hear well, will be the same people to ask the DJ to turn down to an inaudible level, all night long. Then, people in the back of the hall will ask the DJ to turn up the volume. What can you do?
Don’t let this problem ruin the party! Just sit the elderly wedding guest as away from the DJ table, as best you can!
A FEW THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN PLANNING YOUR WEDDING
If you are ahead of the game, you already started planning in the fall. If not because you hiberating during the coldness of this winter, here are just a few things to think about upon the arrival of the wedding planning season crunch…
VENUES – When booking a hall/caterer, the most expensive part of your wedding can be scary. There are ways to save. Some halls like The Museum of Dance in Saratoga and Pruyn House of Latham allow you to select your own caterer. If you can book anyone, you can find deals, think outside the box, and even DIY bartender and save a ton!
INCLUDE YOUR DJ IN TIMING OF EVENTS – A good DJ who has done a bunch of weddings knows when things should happen. Another thing to think about when planning with venues/caterers is they really know food, but they don’t always include what is best for entertainment reasons into their agenda.
Case in point… THE CAKE. Sometimes the event organizer provided by the hall may push for the wedding cake to be cut and served immediately after dinner, this way they can “get it out of the way.” However, I have seen this be a disaster with some groups. The moment after the cake is cut, people bail and the hall is then empty for two more hours. The cake is a point of exit for many. Golden tips like this are often easily tapped when your DJ is consulted. Just ask!
PLAN EARLY – Make sure and give yourself at least 6 months ahead of time to book your entertainment and up to a year ahead for your venue.
HOT THIS YEAR – Last year was the photo booth. This year, wedding pops are predicted to be the new THING for this wedding season.
