Question About DJ

I just wanted to know how important is a light show? What exactly is that? Would that be a big thing to not have? I'm just trying to save money.

Oh, and do I really need party favors?

Re: Question About DJ

I personally don't think it's necessary.
I had the light show, but not the giveaways.
Not doing the giveaways saved me about $250.

Re: Question About DJ

Wait...I'm confused. Do you mean favors or the things the DJ gives out.

I had favors, but I didn't have the things the DJ gives out.

Sorry, yeah I mean the party favors/giveaways the DJ gives out. What do the lights do?

Re: Question About DJ

None of it's necessary - it's all a matter of personal taste. The light show is just an added touch - my sister had an upgraded one for her wedding. It was fun - it added a party element to the celebration. She opted against the handouts - b/c she's not a fan of them.

Re: Question About DJ

None are necessary as cp039 stated BUT
the giveaways are what gets people on the dance floor originally!

Skip 'em unless you want to make your wedding reminiscent of a Sweet 16....no need for them...it's a wedding.

Re: Question About DJ

I think a good DJ is what gets guests on the dancefloor, not a blow-up guitar or silly, neon glasses. JMO though - especially from what I've seen at past weddings.

Re: Question About DJ

We specifically didn't want either of those things because we both had our Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and I had my Sweet 16. We felt, for us (and I'd like to emphasize that), that a wedding is something a little more elegant and classy and that we wanted a grown-up affair. That, and I think that a happy bride and groom and great music gets people up on the dance floor...not props. If anything, I always avoid the props at affairs because I think it makes people look silly. JMHO.

Re: Question About DJ

Hmmm, well if it saves me a couple hundred dollars, I think I'll do without it, just as long as I feel confident in the DJ. This makes me feel less guilty if I spend a little more money for some other service.
