Let me apologize in advance b/c I'm going to post this on the knot, the best destination forum and the PV brides group---I just really want a lot of opinions!
We've signed a DJ through our hotel and for five hours, it is going to cost $975 after service fees and taxes. I was okay with this (although I keep seeing on here that people have gotten better deals!!), but the thing is, the hotel coordinator says he/she probably won't be able to speak english, so we should have one of our friends/family do the announcements, etc.
I started worrying about who to ask/impose this upon when it occurred to me that many of you girls have just done the whole ipod and sound system thing and really seemed to have liked it. I started thinking, if we had to MC the whole thing from within our group, why not just play the music ourselves too
I must admit, this option seems a bit daunting/scary to consider : )So, my FI and I are wondering:
Did you do this?
How, exactly, did you handle it for the ceremony, bridal dances and announcement interruptions
(I don't' mind explicit, step-by-step instructions, opinions, etc.!!!)Who "handled" it for you?
If you had to do this all over again, would you?
Anything else that we need to know?
We'll be having about 40 guests (if that matters) and if you want to email me, I'm at heathers7 at gmail dot com.
Thank you, thank you, thank you (again)!
