What are some questions I should ask my florist?

First I'd like to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding. I would ask your florist the following questions:

1. What are some wedding-flower trends?
2. Can you create a sample bouquet?
3. How will my bouquet complement my dress?
4. How will the centerpieces coordinate with the bouquets? How can I sue flowers to enchance my wedding site?
5. Will the flowers I'm interested in be available at the time of my wedding?
6. Will the flowers I've chosen hold up throughout my wedding?

I hope this helps, if not please ask again.

A Wedding Consultant's Duties

The person you hire should:

• Listen to your ideas, make suggestions, and research your options
• Come up with an overall wedding plan that meets your tastes and budget
• Make appointments with wedding-service providers
• Help handle the selection of invitations, flowers, and caterer
• Make sure that everything goes smoothly by staying in touch with vendors and service providers
• Be on hand on your wedding day to see that all services and details proceed as planned (e.g. the tent is set up correctly, the cake arrive, the flowers arrive, and the service personnel know what is expected)
• Deal with any emergencies that occur; an experienced a consultant is well versed in wedding etiquette and has directed many weddings

That is why you should hire Beverly Harris Weddings & Events to plan your wedding!

Adam's Bar Mitzvah

When Jewish boys and girls turn 13 (sometimes 12 for girls), this "coming of age" is marked with a celebration to observe the Bar Mitzvah ("son of the covenant") or Bat Mitzvah ("daughter of the covenant"). The religious commemoration is typically when the boy or girl reads from the Torah and leads the Shabat service. Most families continue the celebration with a party of some sort. The party may be anything from a casual luncheon with no theme at all to a novelty destination affair, such as a riverboat cruise or a hayride, to an all-out formal dinner dance with no expense spared.

In addition to the Saturday morning service and the party later that day, it is quite common to involve an entire weekend, from Friday evening through Sunday brunch.

Although it is not imperative to have a theme, it has become popular to honor the Bar or Bat Mitzvah child with a theme related to one of the child's interest or talents. As you can see Adam's theme was all about "The Arcade Games". I loved working with Adam and his mom. Not only did I learn a lot, but I really enjoyed the planning process. It brought back lots of memories of what it was like to be a kid again.

From the Friday evening service held at the Temple Sha'arei Am to the evening festivities thrown at the Skirball, the whole event was a blast. The games, videographer, dj, mc and dancers were all provided by You Should Be Dancing. And boy, did they rock! The wonderful decor that you see was provided by Grand Events. Luminary Photography was all over the place taking these wonderful photos.

Outdoor-Wedding Tips

• Consult the local chamber of commerce, museums, historical associations, and travel guides - to find suitable outdoor locations in your area.
• Ask all attendants and immediate family members if they have any allergies relating to the outdoors, and the season. Select a site accordingly.
• Arrange for necessary permits and rentals. Check out parking availability. Notify local police about traffic increase, need for public parking. Arrange for transportation by bus or "shuttle cars" from the nearest large parking area.
• Create an aisle trimmed with garlands of greens. Consult your florist for more ideas. If your dress has a train, spread out a canvas to protect it.
• Send a map to the site with your invitations.
• Post signs to direct guests to the exact ceremony location.

What Everyone Should Know About DJ Lee Dyson AKA Hey Mister DJ

Q. Who are you and what makes you so Awesome to work with?

A. DJ Lee Dyson AKA Hey Mister DJ


Hey Mister DJ consists of a very talented group of Disc Jockeys and entertainers that have many years of experience with weddings, corporate events, private parties and nightclubs.


All of our DJs and entertainers are seasoned professionals and highly skilled in their craft. Their ability to adapt, read a crowd and respond accordingly with the correct music selection is second to none.


Q. How long have you been in business?


A. 15 years


Q. What are some of your unique qualities?


A. We provide a slightly more sophisticated and hip alternative to the stereotypical wedding or mobile DJ experience.


Q. What is it like working a wedding without a wedding coordinator?


A. Stressful. Clients don't always realize how many things can go wrong or need to be managed throughout the entire day. All the other vendors are usually focused on their own task so it's important to have a Captain of the ship keeping everyone working cohesively.


Q. What makes a coordinator good?


A. A high level of organizational skills, but also the ability to be flexible and throw the finely tuned timeline out the window if the room dictates that things need to be done differently.


A sense of calm and patience are also essential.


Q. Why should I hire you?


A. Because we are highly skilled in our craft and there is a big difference between a DJ who just shows up and plays songs vs. a DJ that is actually a music programmer who creates a custom playlist and vibe to perfectly match your taste & style.


We understand that hiring is a DJ is difficult because what we do isn't "tangible" until the big day and by then if you've chosen poorly then it's too late.


That's why we are always happy to meet with you in person to explain our style, philosophy on how to play a room and make sure you feel comfortable with all aspects of the entertainment and how it will affect your day.


Also, because…..WE ROCK! :o)
