I'm getting married 2/13/11.  Like you guys, I heard some iffy reviews about the DJ services at MP, so I decided to go with the iPod dock, since they give you a tech to go along with it and the mic....AND you get to save a TON of money.  The DJ just wasn't worth it to me. 

 

We are also taking song requests from our guests.  I think I saw that on a post from a few months ago and thought it was a great idea!

This is my concern too.  I think the DJ prices are insane and would prefer to go with the ipod system, but I'm not sure that I want one of my guest to make introductions and annoucements.

That is my concern, too, but I wasn't willing to pay an extra thousand dollars for it.  I figured worst case scenario, we would have the best man or my father do it.  I actually wrote to my WC about it asking her what most people do for that situation, and as soon as I receive a response I'll post it.

We did the Ipod dock and speakers. It's more than just and Ipod dock, it was connected to a laptop and the DJ/technican running it could play music from his collection (we were short by 1 song), he just may not have everything you want.  He can make announcements for you if you want, our technican's english was very good.  However, we used our usher to make announcements, he was really excited for it and he is one of the few people who wants to see the wedding DVD to see his performance.  It worked out really well.  We asked friends for song suggestions and got a ton.  Just make sure you have separate labels for everything.  We had "wedding party entrance" "father daugher" "Mother son" "dinner music" "cake cutting song" "dancing music"  everything went really smoothly.  It also comes with lights.  The total was $465.  This was through JSAV. 

 

Also if you are getting the DVD from Palace resorts, the videographer used all the music we used without us requesting it, which was really cool.  Kind of a behind the scenes thing.  Worked out really well.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 Yes the speaker set comes with lighting too. There were 4 lights that he placed on trees bordering the reception.  These were separate from the other lighting I ordered.  If you look at my review there is a picture, the hanging lanterns were the extra and the lighting on the base tree is what he provided.  If you are having a reception where there are no trees, he has other ways of setting it up.  This is all included in the $465.

 

You can sort of see it in the attached picture (sorry I can't find a better one, I'm at work).  If you notice 2 of the trees are brighter than the middle one, that is his lighting on the trees.  The round lanterns were through Deco.

I think I am just going to have a friend I trust do it.  I went to a wedding in Cabo and the couple did an ipod.  the WC was going to announce everything but you could tell she was nervous so someone else stepped in.  Just don't let that person get to drunk and dedicate bump and grind to the brides' grandparents.  because that happened at my friends.  We all thought it was funny...her...not so much.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
