I was Libby and Glenn’s Engagement Party DJ

I was Libby and Glenn’s Engagement Party DJ last Saturday just down the road from The Party DJ HQ at the Colbury Hall.

I was delighted when I got a FaceBook message from Libby enquiring about my availability, I scheduled a meeting with them both and explained how I felt they could make the most of the party.

Glenn and Libby love a photo opportunity and had a huge collection of photos I turned into a photo montage with my big screen on the stage. They had over 400 pictures including many with their family and friends which kept everybody entertained for the early part of the evening.

We had talked about how the evening should run and after a meet and greet we opened the buffet at about 8:30, then Libby’s dad and Glenn made short speeches before we kicked off the dancing – everything flowed really well and a good time was had by all.

I haven’t always been a fan of engagement parties but over the last couple of years I feel the advice I’ve been able to share with my couples has helped them create great parties. Often this is the first time the two families have met and it’s good to bring everybody together ahead of the wedding. I also offer a special deal on wedding bookings to couples who get me to do an engagement party for them!

I was Libby and Glenn’s Engagement Party DJ last Saturday and I’m hoping I’ll be their wedding DJ too!

Congratulations on your engagement

Congratulations On Your Engagement, so what’s next?

This post was inspired by my daughters engagement a couple of weeks ago. As we said to each other “**it just got real!”.
And yes, before you ask, he did come and talk to Ce and I before he got down on one knee on their trip to Paris.

As you probably realise, I think I know a thing or two about planning a wedding, but already I’m struggling to come up with the right advice at the right time – obviously this is their wedding but my daughter has said numerous times already that she wants all the help I can offer!

Getting started is REALLY tough. I’m making notes because I’m pretty sure there’s a book in this!

We are starting with trying to find the date and venue, you’d think I’d be able to help with the venue and we’ve been able to rule plenty out because they won’t fit their requirements, but the choice is still very complex. So stay tuned for updates as we go through the process!

I found this video I made at the end of 2015. Apparently it’s been viewed on YouTube over 1,500 times, I think I need to update it because the sounds not great, but I thought I’d share it again because the content is very relevant to where we find ourselves. It’s called Congratulations On Your Engagement.
