Your Wedding Venue. Service provider, or just a room?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

This is something I just can’t figure out. You hire a venue for your wedding, you pay them money, but what are they really providing you?

Do you expect your venue to know all the little details of your wedding day? Or is the role of a wedding venue simply that - a great looking location for you and your guests to enjoy?

As a wedding DJ that cares about the little things, it astounds me that so many venues or more to the point the venue staff simply see your wedding as another event, another job.

A wedding day promise that simply “blew away”.

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

At Tara and Morgan’s wedding at Castaways in September 2006, they asked the guests to make a promise and throw it away.

Tara had her heart set on a cliff side ceremony at Castaways in Waiuku. Thankfully Morgan braved the odds and made the final call, and despite what felt like gale force winds and darkening skies threatening to dump torrential rain, Tara got her wish. While it wasn’t exceptionally cold, the wind was so fierce that even the bridesmaids and grooms men closest to the action could not hear the vows.
