Also for the sound system is it an Ipod dock? Or do I have to make a cd?

Gina told me the sound system has a hook up for an ipod and also plays cds

Hi WPGBride,

 

Do you know if that includes a technician? I'd like someone to be there to kind of take control and make sure everything is playing accordingly and wasn't sure if that also included someone to be there or will it just be a sound system?

Have you decided what your going to go with? I originally planning to have the DJ but when my fiance saw the price he flipped out lol ....So now I think we may go with the sound system but very concerned and not sure exactly what it all includes and what to expect. I'm so worried!!

Sorry, one more question for you girls, for those who had Anel as your photographer did you pay her seperatly from the resort? Or was it just one big payment at the end? And does it have to be cash or will she accept credit card? eek!

she is the resort photographer so you pay the resort for her when you pay for everything else.

I was under the impression that it would have someone there to set it up and and get you familiar with the system. However, after that you are to use it yourself. What we are going to do is make a playlist on our ipod and just set it to play. Maybe several playlists, such as 'dance time' and 'dinner time' so we can have different music types at different times.

Ya we also were going to originally go with the DJ but it is such an expensive price when we are only having about 25 people and dancing and music might not be the main focus.

Hey everyone! Getting married 2 months from today!! I really did not want to spend $200 on the resort's centerpieces for 3 tables, does anyone have any simple ideas that would be very easy to transport?

THANK U for your response I appreciate it.. i thought i had seen some slideshows from them as well and they all look beautiful so yes I will use them also ( just havent heard anything about videographer and i def. want a video!! ) As far as the DJ I am happy to hear that he is good to contact and can play whatever is asked... i will use him as well then also! I am going to have someone from home help make me a playlist that would keep everyone dancing and really make my guests happy and send it to him. I believe itll be worth the time so that there is no question about the music being bad.. i have to assume that people who did not like the music did not contact him and send him a list!! i hope!! Thank you for your help!
 Is your reception on the deck? Mine is and im wondering if i should do the dancefloor? Im thinking i might as well...

I've heard just through this forum that Anel is the person to go with for photography so we booked her. She is very fast at responding to all emails and is very helpful. 

 

I've been iffy about the DJ just because not many people have posted reviews about him. He's been great to work with so far and I don't really think the music can be terrible if you give him your exact play list. He said he can get any music you want on your play list. We are going to use him just because it's easier than having to download all the music ourselves and have someone from our wedding party run the sound system. I am hoping it all works out!
