A couple of weeks ago a prospective client Eileen phoned in a panic needing a DJ for her daughter’s wedding to take place in about three weeks.
Her son-in-law to be just got word that he is shipping off for Iraq so they needed to plan a last minute wedding at the lowest cost.
She told me that they had originally decided to simply hook up an I-Pod to the venue sound system and call it good. They figured it would save a lot of money and music is just “in the background” right?
She woke in the middle of the night with words from “God” asking her, “Who’s going to drive the event?”
“Drive the event?” she asked herself. Her mind started racing and questions started coming to her like:
Who will guide the flow of the timeline?
How will everyone know when to do what?
Who will keep the attention of the guests during the special traditions?
and….even though we are saving money on “music” who will set the “tone” of the celebration and be sure our guests and at minimum the Bride and Groom are having the best time of their lives???!!!!!!!!
She asked her photographer for any solutions and the photographer suggested hiring an MC/DJ to guide the event and gave her a referral to me.
I had been thinking of how to describe to people what I do as an MC/DJ/Event Planner. When she told me her story I realized that this is exactly what I do – I DRIVE EVENTS!!
I’m so excited to share my view of your special celebrations!
This is the beginning of my new blogs dedicated to tips and stories about being in the “driver’s seat” during the most important celebrations of your lives.
Stay tuned to get the rest of Eileen’s story and more…….
