Dates for your diary

New Forest DJ

One of the suggestions to help with the early stages of wedding planning from my blog yesterday (previous post below) was to visit wedding fairs. It will help you get ideas of what’s on offer in your area.

Take time to talk to the suppliers at their displays, especially the well-established businesses – these people are often experts and have great insights into what else is available.

Be careful not to get too excited and start booking things – just look, talk to people and gather information.

I’ll be at several fairs over the coming months. My first will be next weekend at the St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday 11th January.

As well as exhibiting I’ll be providing the soundtrack for the fashion show with gowns supplied by the excellent Sofi Bridal from Basingstoke. It’s worth noting there is no Southampton Guildhall wedding fair this Spring, it will be back in the Autumn.

Rhinefield Wedding DJThe following Sunday, 18th January, I’ll be at Rhinefield House in the heart of The New Forest.

In February I’ll be at fairs at New Place on Sunday the first, Plaitford Village Hall on Saturday 21st, and Salisbury Racecourse on Sunday twenty-second. My brochure will also be in the goodie bags at the fair at The Botleigh Grange.

There are more wedding fairs to be announced, so keep an eye out here.

If you are planning your wedding I also have one more date I’d like you to consider for your diary …

Another chance to say hello and pick up one of my amazing packs full of information and brilliant 2014 brochure.

The Evening Reception

Whenever possible I like to add something unexpected into the event and I had a couple of things planned for Kirsty & Jason. The first was this moving gobo projected on the ceiling with their names and the date of their marriage. You can see I used their colour-scheme for the lighting in the room and the angles and surfaces available to project the image on to worked really well. The gobo just turns slowly.

We had talked in advance about playing my Getting To Know You / Mr & Mrs / Shoe Game, which went down very well.

Kirsty, her Bridesmaids and friends from the Hen Weekend gave us their fantastic dance routine to the Grease Megamix, which actually ended with them raising Jason right up in the air!

The Brides family are Scottish and we played a good number of tunes to get the kilts swirling including one from the Red Hot Chilli Pipers!

The end of the night was again well planned with a selection of “anthems” including “You Got The Love”, “Wonderwall, “Loch Lomond”, “500 Miles”, “The Time Of My Life” and “Never Forget”. Finally the guests maid a guard of honour, and Kirsty and Jason left the room to a remixed version of Katy Perry’s “Firework”, taking time to say goodbye to each guest in turn.

What a fantastic day! My thanks again to Kirsty, Jason, their family and friends for allowing me to share in their special day, and to all the team at Rhinefield for making me so welcome. Have I mentioned how much I love my job!

Wedding Breakfast

Sorry I haven’t been able to keep these posts up from Kirsty and Jason’s wedding – the last week has been, well that’s just say very busy. So I’ll try and get some more pictures up before we move on to last weeks events.

The ceremony room was transformed by the Rhinefield team for the wedding breakfast.

As you can see, the setting is absolutely stunning!

I, once again, provided background music along with microphones for the speeches.

Here are some more pictures from Saturday’s wedding of Kirsty and Jason.

After the ceremony the guests made their way out onto the terrace and lawns for photo’s and drinks.

The weather forecast had been terrible during the week but, in the end, was much nicer than expected.

Saturday’s Wedding

Yesterday I was privileged to supply the music for Kirsty & Jason’s wedding at Rhinefield House, in the heart of the New Forest.

I provided music for the ceremony – if you look closely you can see my laptop and control desk at the rear of the room – almost in the centre of this picture.

The venue is absolutely wonderful and Michael and the Rhinefield team delivered a fantastic day. I’m going to post a few more pictures over the next few days, so keep an eye open for more soon.
