With that said, this is a WEBSITE and while it is a great community, to expect everyone to agree with you and blow smoke up your a55 is ridiculous and isn't going to EVER happen- so don't go crying or yelling because someone doesn't agree with you or doesn't think your choice is the best or whatever.. it's your wedding, it's your choices and they shouldn't have to be validated by someone else.


UGHHHHHHHHHHHH, if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all! That should be the main part of this whole issue, w/ you and ars and the others. Sound soooo nasty!!! More like this is a website is to gather ideas and make people feel good, not to bash. Where are all your manners, I would never say anything that might even offend another bride, but maybe because I'm nice, I was offended when I was told a DJ doesn't add elegance to a wedding as so many other brides were, I didn't need to hear that, neither did a thousand other brides reading. The webmaster to this site should really deleate this entire topic.



this is my last response.
I NEVER said a DJ doesn't add elegance... I have been to many weddings with DJs and had a GREAT time and it was fancy and beautiful.
It was does DJ=black tie formality or not....
some people here said yes and some people said no..
i am unfairly being singled out here when I am not the only one that said no.

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

first of all, black tie or not, there will always be people who either don't want to wear or don't have the money to wear such a formal piece of attire. no matter how classy you want it to be, there is bound to be a handful that won't dress how you would like them too. believe me, at our wedding, i looked at some people and thought 'what is that???' but hey, to each his own. i have been at weddings where i wore something i deemed appropriate and was overdressed. go figure!

secondly, when i think of black tie, i also think of the music. the scene is one thing...yes, it needs to be elegant and very formal and put together. however, dj or not, the music needs to be the same. how many black tie events have you been to where they were playhing lenny kravitz or christina aquilera or cher??? nothing wrong with this group but with black tie, the music is very 'proper', with lots of instrumentals and a dj can achieve that.


btw...ignore that poster...wow. people like that do NOT belong here and i sincerely hope you find the anger management group you so desperately need. we have a pretty fine group of people here,all from different backgrounds and experiences, and yes, all with different opinions too. and a lot of the brides here have been on here for a long time. when you have been on here for more than 2,000 posts, then you have a right to some drama. but for now, keep it to yourself.

sorry, i just happen to be one of the idiots who inconvenienced my guests by having a sunday wedding. the horror on my part. but my guests didn't seem to matter...they enjoyed their three day weekend. i take a LOT of $h!t during the day. i don't want to see that kind of crap and insults when i come on here, so i suggest NICELY that you apologize to all the women here you insulted b/c you lose allies FAST when you talk like that. JMHO

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

Marymoon, you have your DJ. I would love either a band OR a DJ.

Sassy, , I appreciate it when the old married maids () share with us newbies.

As for SOMEONE else,

ARS = A$$

(IMO, of course.)

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

Marymoon - Even if your guests expect a band when they arrive, if you have an awesome DJ, they will leave happy. Just make sure you let the DJ know that your wedding is black tie. Good luck!

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

I rarely come over here. I am usually on the parenting board as I am expecting.

Having said that, you won't even believe you sweated this after your big day. No one at your wedding who loves you and cares about you will give a hoot who has what - band or dj-and what the dress is. Everyone who is normal at your affair will be like, 'isn't she glowing?' (about you) and ' How do you know the bride or groom?' Only crazyand jealous people are going to lean over and dissect your wedding on this level.

My father got married again last year, called black tie at his wedding and had a DJ. I never thought that did not work until I read this. My point is, you sweat so much stuff before the big day as a bride. So much went wrong for my husband and I on that day and honestly, none of my guests noticed. I probably did not have the best party in the universe. Someone out there had ritzier and more lavish. But, I definitely did not have the worst party. But, as the song says, I did it my way and that was wonderful.

Sorry- just have to chime in on this one. I'm usually not one to join in on the drama but.....

GO AWAY!

This is such an nice site with VERY supportive people. You are a newbie and should not pi$$ people off like this. Opinions are very much appreciated but not ones to purposly offend others.

As for your Sunday wedding comment... I had a Sunday wedding and it was just lovely. Everyone had a great time and I still hear compliemts about my wedding. Sometimes the choice of the day for a wedding is not one of convienience but of religion and meaning. I feel that my choice for MY wedding is MY choice and if people did not want to attend it is THEIR choice if it didn't fit into THEIR schedule. (and I had over 300 people attend my wedding- do you thing ALL of them didn't want to be there?)

Now be gone with you!

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

PS- marymoon- do what makes YOU and your FH happy. I think it's fine to have a DJ. It's YOUR wedding. No one will remember the day as much as YOU and YOUR FH!

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

honestly....I prefer a DJ to a band, unless the band is AMAZING.
But if I were to walk into a reception hall in my requested black tie attire...and noticed a DJ playing...I would be just as thrilled as if I saw a band....I like to dance...so to me it doesn't matter who is playing the music...as long as there's room for me on the dance floor, I'm in!

I did read somewhere that 'black tie OPTIONAL' will either make guests feel too overdressed or too underdressed....that it is best to stick to 'formal attire' or 'black tie'...not black tie OPTIONAL.

YOU ARE SO PATHETIC! Its so obvious either you have an stick up your arse or you don't like Sazzy because you are one of those oldtimers who enjoys coming back here and making up fake screen names and making fun of people.

Who cares what day wedding she is having.....its all about the people you have there and if your friends (if you have any) and family are anything like you I can guarantee you that you will have an absolute horrid time (except in your mind everything will be perfect because you have the best of everything on the best night of everything!)

LOSER!

Re: DJ for a Black Tie Wedding?

Honestly girls, I can't believe you are taking this biatch seriously. I think she's doing it to get arise out of you. Good for her that she can have a Sat. night wedding! But I say better for you if you can have a nice wedding on a Friday or Sunday. People are going to have fun no matter what day it is. To each his own!
