Wedding Reception Tips

Hi lovely brides-to-be! I want to share a super quick tip that can save you a TON of stress on your wedding day… and it’s something so many brides forget to do!

Are you ready? Here’s the quick tip: Communicate with your DJ and tell him or her how late your wedding photographer (and videographer, too!) is contracted to be at your reception!

Let me explain… if your DJ does not know what time your wedding photographer is supposed to leave the reception based on the amount of time they are contracted for, the DJ also cannot plan the events of the reception accordingly. He or she may plan for you to begin your first dances, toasts, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss for a time that comes after your photography coverage time has already ended! This can create unnecessary stress and expenses on your wedding evening, and that is the

This would mean that your photographer would either not be there for these important events or that your photographer will have to charge you extra on the night of the wedding to stay later than they were contracted to. This can create unnecessary stress and expenses on your wedding evening, and that is the last thing you want, right?

So, today, take five minutes and send your DJ an email to inform them what time your photographer is leaving your wedding reception… you’ll be SO glad you did, and you’ll have photos of all those important reception events, too! Xoxo!!
