Hello Girls! Here is a little review of a wedding where the IPOD system was used. Ceremony, They had a small sound system, the person operating the IPOD and the sound system played the songs ask by the bride on her IPOD. EXCELLENT Cocktail, Out side on an open area with a sound system that usually DJ´s use, it was very festive and the person operating the IPOD played a list of songs from the brides IPOD and also (with her aproval) played music he had on his personal IPOD, due to the fact that the bride had on mind to play the same music from the cocktail hour for the dinner so the person operating the IPOD sugested to use his IPOD music for the cocktail which was more festive and appropriate for the moment and the brides IPOD for the dinner. EXCELLENT Dinner, cake cutting, 1st dance The Dinner and the coktail where right next to each other on the same area, so the sound system didnt need to me moved, the music was slow, it was a nice dinner music, the person operating the IPOD had already located on the IPOD the cake cutting song, first dance, father and daughter etc and he had the wireless microphone available for the speeches. EXCELLENT Party Time, Here is where everything changed, the bride had the same music used for dinner for the party, so you can imagine, only like 2 older couples danced once in a while most of the guests were waiting for the party time music to dance and have fun but that moment never came, people was bored you could see some people standing up talking to each other the rest of the guests were just on their tables. A lot of the guests went up to the person operating the IPOD and asked him to play another kind of music, old school, rock, pop etc but he just told them he didnt had any(because bride said she had enough music) and that was the music the bride had on her IPOD. NOT GOOD So if you are planning on using your IPOD for your wedding here is my advice: 1.Bring as many music as you can, you may think you have enough but you just never know! keep on downloading all kinds of music!! you may say mmm I dont like this song that much! but when you are having fun and partying people may ask for it, or you could say " I shouldve brought that song" bring all kinds of music, pop, rock, oldies (think of the older people), hip hop, etc 2.Talk to the person in charge of operating your IPOD to give you his advice on the music you have and the hours of music you are bringing for the different parts of your wedding to see if its enough. 3.Talk to him about the music you like and if you would approve him to mix some of your music with his music, in case he feels its appropriate. 4.Also, DO NOT use the same music at any time, dont repeat the cocktail music during dinner! or otherwise, people will notice, and using the same music would keep the same mood which will get people bored! The sound system was rented to DJ Mijares and he was the one that was operating everything, he did a great job and met with the bride prior to the wedding. Hope this helps!!

Congrats!!! What exactly is the work of a moderator

I like #2 I think its really cute, and the fabric looks very fresh!

Good Jokes Tammy!!!!

Thats absolutly true Natalie, I think it all depends on the idea you have for your tables and your centerpieces, I like both ideas, the traditional cake cutting and the individual cake!! I guess the answer is to flip a coin jajaj!!

Do they look good? I'll have to run to our local craft store to see if they have them there... Thats a great idea Tammy usually the flowers used to decorate the cake are garbage after the cake cutting

Quote: Originally Posted by akh I love the individual cake idea - but not sure what I will end up doing. At a wedding I attended, they had the cakes at each table. The bride & groom, as well as the wedding party, went around to each table to cut and serve the cake. That way everyone got to interact a little more with the wedding party, and it was a little more personable. This was a big wedding though. I didnt tought about that its a good idea also people can be in the picture while you cut the cake on their tables! and then you can get your solo pictures with FI cutting your cake!

Quote: Originally Posted by Natalie M I like the main cake! I need the traditional cake cutting pictures with the big cake in front. Thats what I thought also!!! but the individual cake idea looks really nice! and as Tammy says you can also use them as center pieces although I would have them placed on the tables after dinner and remove the centerpieces.

In case you go for the individual cakes would you have them all made of the same flavor or a different kind for each table??

I would like to ask for your opinion on this one what would you prefer to have: One main wedding cake, or smaller individual cakes on each table all decorated and one medium size main cake for the cake cutting and pictures?

Here they are again! These are Hotch (brown) and Huesos (black) Doutchounds!!

The trio is recommended to create a Mexican ambiance. I would recommend it during the ceremony. The Mariachi and Mexican Trio are similar since both play Mexican music. However the Trio plays more romantic music and the Mariachi band is more fun, festive and cheerful. There are 4 to 6 players in a Mariachi band. The Mariachi is highly recommended right after the ceremony during the cocktail hour. This pictures was taken right after the ceremony its the mariachi walking with everyone down town in San Jose from the church to the venue place, people liked it a lot!

As for the price, she is trying to make a name for herself in DW Photography, so, she is new at it. That is why she is only charging for the flights. You also have to remember that this price includes no pictures, just the digital negatives, so, she is not printing anything for me or giving me anything more than the negatives. Also, we do have a budget, moving to a new city, where I don't have a job, buying a house and getting married all between March 9 and Oct 21 when we leave. So, money is tight. I will look at more of her work though, I think that is a great suggestion. Did you guys look at her other work or just the wedding gallery, there is also brides and grooms and another one, I think those are better. I think she has nice pictures, and the reasons for the low charge are reasonable, probably what you could do is hire her for a pictures sesion of you and your FI before the wedding and check how they come out.

Could all of you Photographers share some pictures with us, obviously the ones you can post, we don`t want Tammy to sensure them!

Quote: Originally Posted by jillhigginsphotography I'm curious to know how many people would be interested in a "For His Eyes Only" session if it were offered by your photographer. These sessions seem to be becoming more and more popular. I haven't offered them to my clients yet, and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I don't want to offend anyone or make anyone uncomfortable if they are not cool with it. I would love to hear your opinions... I think it`s a great idea I would definetly do it, as long as it`s artistic, sensual, sexy but without been vulgar, maybe leaving something to the imagination and it would have to be a photographer that I really trust and feel conftable with.

Leigh Miller has rented a studio in Chicago, and is going to take some sexy shots of us (we hope!). Not evey bride will want to do this, but it can't hurt to offer. And honestly, not every bride is aware of this option, so offering it to her may give her the idea for a fabulous surprise gift for him. It would be intresting, hope all of you get a few that you would be able to post and share with us!

Tammy are you staying in San Jose? I thought you where going all the way to Cabo San Lucas! Janet`s idea sounds pretty nice, you could walk on San Jose`s main plaza down town which is near the Tropicana and check out the stores and the church which is right there! or just jump in the pool !

Here are some pictures of a silver Lasso I hope you are able to see it! It goes around the bride and groom I think it would be a good idea if yours was made of flowers and leaves, or maybe sea shells since its a beach wedding!!

Does are so cute and ellegant! I have always used the plane ones that was a great idea!!! good job!!

I think tatoos and piercings are fun! I had a piercing on my nose, it was cute very little kinda sparkling, and one on my tongue (my best friend and I got it together) our Moms wanted to kill us! without mentioning my grandma its funny she notice after a year when she came to visit us on vacations. When I remember I cant beleive I did it, Its funny how you do things some times with out thinking! They didnt hurt at all !!! and I can say that piercings and tatoos are adictive, when I got my tongue I wanted to do something else so I did my nose, when I met my FI he was curios he got a nose, tongue and niple yuuck ¨grosie josie¨!!!! of course we dont have them any more, he had them for about 2 months!

Of course you can get them here in Cabo, I don´t have the information, usually the catering company is in carge of chairs, tables etc!! I´ll try to get the info.

Hello! and welcome! you will find great Information and helpfull people on this forum!
