Hip & Fun Cocktail & Dinner Music

February 6, 2008

Hi Everyone!

Lisa from hello DJ! here! When you’re thinking of music for your cocktail hour and dinner, feel free to venture beyond the traditional elevator music or instrumental stuff! You can have your music make a statement, with tunes your friends can hum along to and recognize. It’s great to include the stuff you can’t dance to, but can definitely lounge out and mingle to! Some of my favourite hip & fun cocktail & dinner songs right now include:

Feist – 1,2, 3, 4
Michael Buble – Everything
Nouvelle Vague – I Melt With You
The Garden State Soundtrack – Various…

Young Folks

February 5, 2008

I’m thrilled to say Lisa Ng from hello DJ! has joined the crew at the blog … please check out her work online and if you’re in the market for a DJ, I highly suggest giving her a jingle. Not only is she young, hip and the most energetic vendor I’ve had the pleasure of meeting but she’s masterfully managed to make a name for herself in an industry dominated by men (no offense, guys). I’d boast about her recent feats but she may want to say a bit about that in her first posts ;)

Holiday Sandwich

November 28, 2007

So here it is, November 28th…about a week after Thanksgiving (US version) and less than a month until Christmas. We’re sandwiched between the holidays – anyone beginning to feel squooshed yet?

I’ve been thinking more about the holidays than wedding planning to be honest. I did manage to do a first draft of our wedding workbook so it’s been floating in my mind behind the scenes so to speak. I did find a new bridal salon in town (Philadelphia) that I’ll have to check out. A few weeks ago Valerie and I walked into a very chi-chi bridal salon near our home and they had six, yes SIX wedding dresses on display. WHAT? I had to laugh since I’m will most likely buy my gown on ebay, where I can choose from about oh, 6,000 or so.

The Twins Emerge….

November 13, 2007

First, I want to say how grateful I am to Susan to give me the opportunity to blog on her site.

So, what am I going to write about? Here’s the short version (ready….?) We are planning our same sex wedding to be held in May of 2009 in New Jersey (a.k.a. Southern Canada).

I’m going to be buying everything for our wedding on Ebay or similar sites. Yes, everything. I’ll also be putting together a typical budget for the items that I’m planning on purchasing – retail vs. auction. Oooh, shopping and bargain hunting for a wedding, what could be better?

Since this will be my second wedding — I planned my straight wedding ages ago before I knew better (way back in the 80’s!), and now my same sex wedding, I’ll post my experiences of both and the differences, if any, in the way we are treated as a same sex couple making wedding plans vs. a straight couple. I may even have a weak moment and post a picture or two from the wedding where Big Hair ruled in the land of Bon Jovi…and the icing on THAT cake – I was a Hair Stylist back then!!!
