Here are at least 3 ways to really ruin a wedding reception.

I just spoke with a close friend of mine yesterday who recently attended a local wedding here in the Chicago area. While this is a true story, the names of the bride and groom will be changed to protect the unfortunate. Here are at least 3 ways to really ruin a wedding reception. For starters, while the Bride and Groom were in a greeting line welcoming guests as they arrived, the DJ started off the event off by whispering to the bride and groom about "laying a microphone on a table". They never heard him. Therefore when it came time for the traditional toasting of the happy couple, none was ever done and the DJ just stood there. Secondly, introducing the new Mr and Mrs as just "Jim and Sue" with a poor quality microphone that most could not understand what was said AND in such a manner, that no one noticed. Lastly, announcing the Father/Daughter dance by introducing the proud father of the bride (who had waited years for this moment as his daughter grew from baby, to child, to adolescent, to a beautiful bride) as just "Bill and Sue". Unconscionable!!! Then as the night went on, there was more issues that surfaced, like the arrangement of music selections that did not fit well together and his polo shirt and khaki pants attire. Ooops sorry, I'm already past 3 ways to ruin a wedding reception! Bottom line: he was cheap and you get what you pay for. Think this can't happen to you? Think again; it can. Remember, no price is a good price if you don’t like the quality of the DJ. (You’ll love ours!) With "smooth sailing" and "happy trail" wishes for your big day! Kindest regards, Jay
