Hello,

What DJ companies are you using for the big day? Like everyone else music is very important. FH and i come from Jamaican backgrounds so reggae music will def be a plus. I want a good dj that can accommodate this genre of music as well as others.

TIA

ultimatesounddjs.com. They were amazing. You can see more in my review.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Thanks so much.... From reading the entire thread I concluded that I want to look at these four companies:
Ultimate Sounds
Raphael Gordon
Ebony Connections
FIner touch

My video company also recommended them due to the fact that they play good carribbean music.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

If any of you ladies are looking for a hair stylist for the big day the lady that does my hair on a regular basis is absolutley amazing. She is great with weaves (if thats what your looking for), fusion or anything else your looking for. She has her own shop in Baldwin NY and will make you feel more than at home. Her name is Darlene and the number is 516-771-0277.

Go for a trial, it cant hurt. Tell her your from LI Weddings.com

OK so I saw some of you are looking for DJs.....Let me just let you know why FH & I booked with MRG, they have a DJ that is West Indian, & when we met him he was telling us about all the hot Hip Hop, R&B Reggae & Compa songs ( FH is Jamaican & I'm Haitian, we listen to Compa) I was shocked he knew my music but, he has been in the business for a while. He is playing for our engagement party at the end of May, I'll let you ladies know how is goes

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I don't have any info on djs but I just wanted to say hi and i think its a great idea to keep this thread alive. My family is Haitian and Black American and my FHs family is from Trinidad. We didn't book a dj because we are going with a band instead, but ebony connections did my 21st birthday. They are really good.
my name is angee by the way!
