I recently attended the American DJ Association’s conference/seminar in Las Vegas and networked with some of the best wedding entertainment specialists in North America.
One of the best among them was Brandon Lindsey, a wedding DJ based in Cincinnati Ohio. His presentation gave me a list of great new ideas and perspectives, and reinforced many of my existing practices. Interestingly, it was something he said AFTER the seminar in a casual conversation that stood out.
He said that often when planning their big day, brides are afraid of the “Wedding Police”. By this, he was referring to the many posts on wedding forums like Weddings.co.nz or The Knot in the USA or Australia where a bride asks “Is it OK to do xxxxxx at my wedding?”
The thing is – it’s YOUR wedding. There are no wedding police that will come to your wedding ceremony or reception and tell you your songs are wrong, or your speeches were in the wrong order, or you’ve broken with tradition. Nobody is checking up on you, so you’re free to plan your wedding your way!
