Still thinking about music
Yesterday I went and met with one of the MCs from Variety (Ray). In addition to everything I learned at the show on Monday night, I found out about some other great options. They also have strings, a jazz trio, and lots of video options. I think I would really like strings for the ceremony. Between that and the Sinatra singer, I think I would feel like I have enough live music to make me happy, and then we could have a DJ for the rest. We also talked about the fact that Pete and I have 4 songs that are potential first dance songs, and Ray had some great suggestions for incorporating all of them throughout the night.
As far as the video, it’s interesting to know that they can have plasma TVs which show a picture slideshow and then photos and live video throughout the night. It would be nice for people who aren’t close enough to see the action, for example when everyone gathers around for the cake cutting. I’m not sure how I feel about the look of the large TVs at the reception though. Does anyone have opinions?

Hey. Our cousin had screens at her wedding which was cool at first. but then I think I forgot to look at them after a while. It might make some people watch the videos rather then get up though…who knows…kind of like at a concert where you cant help staring at the giant screen rather than the performance on stage.

That’s a really good point. We don’t want everyone to sit and watch… we hope everyone will get up and join in and have fun!
