After the Wedding Expos- Now What? Komodo Music DJs, Perth

January 25, 2012 Posted in Helpful Information BlogsNo comments

So you have just been to a wedding expo and you have so much information you don’t know what to do with it…so how do you sort out the good from the crap?

 

Well this all depends on what stage of the planning you are in but a good starting point would be to do the following steps:

 

STEP 1: Get a Wedding Folder

Just a normal binder with sleeves you can categorize and put stuff relating to your wedding. This will also help focus you if it is all located in one spot.

 

STEP 2: Make a list of what you want!

A blank piece of paper with a clear list of what you need for your wedding (i.e. Music, Car, Cake, Celebrant, etc) will help you organize the info you have into the right category. Once this is done, make a folder for each category and put the info into each one. If things don’t fit on the list (say for example an ice sculpture) put it in a “miscellaneous” folder to look at down the track.

 

STEP 3: Priorities your List

Now you have all the items in folders, it’s time to decide what needs your attention the most. This again depends on how far away your wedding is and if it is on a popular date, but a general rule (for about 12 months to the wedding) should be the following:

Venue (ASAP)

Dress, (12-8 months left)

Photographer/Videographer (12-8 months left)

Celebrant (8 months left)

DJ (No more than 6 months left),

Limo (No more than 8 months left)

Cake (8-6 months left),

Misc (Depending on product)

 

STEP 4: Budget

I know it is a horrible word but look into how much you should spend on each category before booking anything. Weddings are expensive but if you have a clear idea who much you are expecting to spend and how much it “Too Much” you may even keep your wallet lean instead of empty.

 

STEP 5: DO YOUR RESEARCH

I can’t stress this enough. You have all the supplier’s information, you know how much you want to spend, now check they are legit! Google search, go onto bridal forums, ask friends and family. The more research you do the safer you will be in ensure your wedding is not a flop. Remember “Google is your friend”:-)(If you want more info on how to find your DJ, click this blog here)

 

STEP 6: Meet the team

Having a face to face meeting with your supplier is important to ensure you get the right vibe from them. Some suppliers do not require meetings till closer to the time but you should be able to be in contact with them (either via Skype or phone) before making a booking.

 

That should give you plenty to work with, go and have fun:-)

Checklist for Wedding Expos- Komodo Music DJs, Perth

January 18, 2012 Posted in Helpful Information Blogs, Perth Wedding DJsNo comments

So its expo time! This means over 100 vendors trying to get your attention, give you their flyers, sell you their products, all the while trying to sort out the good from the…not so good.

So let’s have a plan of attack!!

 

Below are some hints and tips before heading out to the expo:

 

Don’t automatically say “NO”. Check what the vendor is selling, take a flyer or say ‘No Thank You’

As an exhibitor, our job is to get as many people as possible to come over and talk to us, at the very least give out a flyer. We are not interested in changing your mind as we will have 100’s of other brides just behind you. If you say no thank you we won’t be offended, but don’t say “No” before you know what we do otherwise you may miss out.

 

Bring a working pen and people who know your details

Some brides have cards made up that have all their information on it already. This will save you time, but more often than not you will end up writing the following over and over (so make sure the team you bring will know it):

-Name

-Wedding Date

-Wedding Venue

-Wedding Time

-Contact number and email

 

Bring a snack and water

If you don’t mind mortgaging your house for some hot chips, feel free. However you will need more than sugar (which there will be plenty of) to keep you going and expo food is expensive. At the very least make sure you have some water with you as it is hard work talking to everyone (believe me I know!)

 

Have a list of what you want!

Even if you have just gotten the proposal, have an idea what you are looking at. A good starting point would be:

-Dress

-Venue

-Flowers

-Cake

-Invites

-Car

-Music (DON’T FORGET US!!!!! lol)

 

Bring Cash, Cheque, and/or Credit to book things!

If you find something on the day (Be it a dress, limo or DJ) that you decide is the perfect fit for your wedding day, you can book them right there and then. By bringing cash (or in some places cheque or credit) to pay the deposit you may get an even better deal than what you were expecting. We vendors LOVE sales on the day and if you find the right one, you can guarantee them right there.

 

We will be with you shortly!

Expos are one of the few times we wish cloning technology was available. Unfortunately we can only speak to a certain number of brides at a time. If you would like to discuss our services or are after a quote, catch our eye and you will be the next one we speak to. Otherwise always feel free to grab a flyer and call us up later.

 

Allow yourself plenty of time

If you are browsing you should allow about 2-3 hours, if you know what you want, allow about 1 hour. Even though expos say they go till 4pm, if nobody is there most vendors will be gone by 3pm so it is a good idea not to get there too late.

 

There is a starting point, I look forward to seeing you all at the expos:-)

Beach Wedding Ceremony and Joondalup Resort Reception- Komodo Music DJs, Perth

January 16, 2012 Posted in Perth Wedding DJs, Perth Wedding VenuesNo comments

Some couples just emit so much enthusiasm, you can’t help but get swept up in the excitement! That is what it was like for Liselle and Andrew Thompson. They were just so laid back and so up for a good time it was only natural they would have a beautiful beach wedding! They came down the stairs dancing and just enjoying themselves…and even a sea lion popped it’s head up to see what was going on!:-)

Afterwards it was on to Joondalup Resort Marquee with DJ Michelle continuing the night. A big congratulations to you both. Keep the party going:-)

Venue Review- Rose and Crown Hotel- Komodo Music DJs, Perth

January 11, 2012 Posted in Perth Wedding VenuesNo comments

Seeing alot of venues around Perth, us DJs get to see the inner workings and behind the scenes of what makes a venue work. And while most guests judge on a purely visual basis, we have been around the block a few times to know how it really stacks up.

This new series is designed to give our OPINION on the venue from a DJ’s point of view. It is not meant in slanderous manner and remember to ALWAYS may up your own mind. I give a “DJ Recommendation” on what us vendors see and a “Bridal Recommendation” which is based solely on what a bride and groom would see

Rose and Crown

105 Swan Street Guildford WA 6055, (08) 9279 8444

www.rosecrown.com.au

 

 

Getting married and having your reception in a 160 year old hotel is sure to be a talking point amongst your guests, and even though it’s been around that long, the style and facilities don’t show like that at all!

The Rose and Crown is stunnging for both ceremonies and receptions, having 6 function rooms inside and 4 outdoor ceremony areas, no matter what size function the Rose and Crown can accommodate.

 

Excluding the Cellar room, all of the function areas are both easy and assessable for patrons and DJs alike (The Cellar is looks great but the steps downstairs can be difficult for some). The grounds of the Rose and Crown are beautiful all year round and all the rooms have a historical feel mixed in with modern décor.

 

The food is delicious and the staff are always friendly both towards patrons and suppliers and they always go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure you and your guests have a great night.

 

The only disadvantage is that amplified music must be turned off by 11:00pm as it is in a residential area, but a 5 hour function or an earlier 6 hour one is more than enough time for you and your guests to tear up the dance floor

DJ Recommendation: 9/10

Bridal Recommendation: 9/10
