Re: New Bride & First Time Posting
Hello and Welcome!! Congratulations on your engagement!!
I am using Spin Around Sound as a DJ, and for photography I am using Duet. I chose Spin Around Sound because they had a good reputation on here and they were not as expensive as many others. They seem like the kind of DJ that will keep the party going and will honor your requests in terms of the kind of music you want played, the amount of MCing, etc. And their motto is 'No Cheese!' When I went to meet with Tom (the owner) he spent like an hour and a half with us. He really wanted to get to know us and what we like.
I chose Duet because I like that they do a mix of traditional and photojournalistic (candid) pictures. I thought their work was really nice, and they were also not as expensive as many others.
Good Luck, and feel free to FM if you have any questions.

There is a Bride's Review board on here - you should start reading reviews and see what people had to say about specific vendors. That might help narrow some choices down for you and give you some names of vendors to make appt with!

Congrats on your engagement!! Welcome to the boards!!
Planning is fun! For DJ we are using Variety Music (they are a vendor here on LIW) and for photography we are using Twelfth Night. We looked at about 6 photo/videographers and knew there was no comparison when we met with Dominic.
Good luck with everything!!

Re: New Bride & First Time Posting
Welcome to the boards! My only advice on vendors would be to read the reviews from brides and to make sure you meet with as many as you can to get a feel for what they offer and if you will be comfortable with them. Happy planning!
