PICKING THE PERFECT WEDDING DAY

Choosing "the day" is one very important choice you and your significant other will be making. There is so much to consider, such as, "Do we want it in the summer?" or "What is a special day for us?" No matter what you ending up choosing, we've listed some pointers, to help narrow down the date. Hopefully this helps you figure out how to plan out the wedding of your dreams.

Weigh the pros & cons of a long or short engagement

• The most common length of an engagement is about a year. Most couples feel that this enough time to plan everything out. Other couples may opt for 6 months (or around that time) if let's say, they are planning a very small and intimate wedding. While other couples, maybe go beyond 1 year, if there are several other things going on during the time of the engagement. Consider what you have going on and go on from there

What season?

• Depending on your preference, Summer, Winter, Spring & Fall each create there own theme. Summer is a popular season, simply because the weather is much more suitable for gathering people to a wedding. Do you enjoy the warmth of the summer? Off season wedding dates, however, can be much more budget friendly. Perhaps rich fall colors how much more of a visual appeal to you. There is a bit of give and take, no matter what season you choose, so make sure to do further research

Day of the week?

• Are you certain you want your wedding on a Saturday? For those who are watching the budget, a Sunday or weekday wedding is an alternative to consider.

Consider if it falls on a holiday or other important dates

• Double check the dates. Is the date you've picked on a day like Super Bowl Sunday or even a religious holiday or the weekend of a standard holiday? Factor all those in.

Envision what your perfect wedding day looks like

• Talking about the vision with you partner, can be such a great experience.  Does it entail the sound of waves crashing? What about the abundance of summer roses? Creating the vision of how you see yourself getting married, will contribute to the perfect wedding date

Happy pickings!!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT AND LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Ask anyone you know and you'll probably get a varied pot of answers. Would you want to see what your future holds? Some may say yes and others no.

No matter what your answers are, the video in this post illustrates what it looks like to "fall in love, at first sight" and to "look into the future" We are not talking in the "strict and literal sense", but watch the video and you'll see what we mean.

2014 THANK YOU

 

In 2014, I wanted to share my gifts to the world. The construction of my website and branding were the main focuses for this year. In the midst of all this, I realized I needed to genuinely provide a service other than DJing to help people, hence my blog was formed.  My blog's sole purpose is to provide a space where couples can learn new things, provide comfort for those who may feel all alone during the wedding process, save money,  and help other businesses fullfill their dreams. We have been consistently providing content weekly and will continue this in 2015 with the same purpose. 

With all the success my website/blog had received none of this would be possible without my team. I would like to thank one of the most spiritual, talented, and hard working people I know Rosey Gonzales. Rosey, your passion for writing are noticed and will continue to have a positive effect on the people that read your pieces. It has been a true blessing to have met and work with you. We will achieve our dreams through our hard work and our positive minds. Thank you for lifting me when I was down, out of ideas, and pushing me forward when all I wanted to do was give up. You truly are a great friend..... " i woke up and was like ..... "  LOL !

Next I would like to thank Barry Lai,  for your never ending services and commitment to helping me with my brand and website.   This has made me become a better artist and business person. 2015 is the year of the hustle ... lets get it.  

Furthermore, I would like to thank YOU ! With out you, my website, brand, and my passion to Dj, would be unnoticed. I would like to thank all my friends, family and clients for hiring me and for the constant referrals for weddings and events.  I would also like to thank  all those who were involved with the content of my blogs. Ex clients, make up artists, dessert vendors, and future clients.... you all know who you are.  In addition, thank you to those who have re-posted my blogs ,  have attended  my events and supported my art as well. Seeing familiar faces always brightens my days. 

Lastly I would like to thank God. Thank you for giving me the ability to do what I do everyday. For the air I breathe and for the health to live. Thank you for giving me my son, my sole inspiration in life and the reason for all that I do. Thank you for blessing me with the right frame of mind and for giving me the ability to erase the negativity throughout my days. I also want to thank God for blessing me with all the positive, influential, and like minded people in my life. 

2015 will bring challenges,  and Im ready for it !!!  Control your thoughts and you can control the universe.   LOVE YOU ALL . GOD BLESS.... and peace 2014 .
