I remember planning my wedding 8 years ago (ok... it was mostly my wife), and my wife-to-be and I sat down and tried to guess how much everything would cost. What did we want? Where was it going to be? How many people would we invite? These are all the questions and more, that every bride and groom-to-be are asking themselves as they plan their wedding. Well thank goodness for the internet and collections of databases. We will summarize and detail how much the average wedding in Albuquerque, NM will cost.

Not all DJ's are created equal

Finding a DJ for your wedding has become really easy... well, if you want just any DJ. All you have to do is look at craigslist and you will see DJ's from $29 per hour!

Wedding Planning: First Dance

2012 October 08

This post is a continuation of our blog series about the different formalities involved in a wedding and how to make your wedding what you want it to be. In our last post about Grand Entrances, we covered how important it is to set the tone for the evening. This post is going to take a different direction, because the First Dance should be all about you and your newly wedded partner. We'll cover why you should make this dance all about you, songs that are currently popular as a First Dance, and ways you can customize and add a little something 'more' to it, making it that special dance you've always imagined. 

Here's a sample of the rest of this article...

For many planning Brides-To-Be, the DJ and entertainment tends to be one of the last things to check off the list.

When your guests leave your reception, they will leave with one of a few emotions: "That was such a great time!", "That DJ was terrible!", "What a great day!", "That was cheesy...", etc. How do you want your event to be remembered? And who is going to execute that plan for you?
