Brevin. Contact DJ Brevin at 877-368- 7280. The traditional formalities such as the toasts, cake cutting, bouquet toss, the first dance and special bridal dances need to be discussed in advance with your DJ. Coordinate timing of all these activities with the hotel staff. Finally, confirm the ending times of the reception, and what the cost would be to extend playing more music that night. Determine and understand all these
details in advance, not the day of the wedding, and things will be perfect! Some hotels have an early cut-off time because of the noise, but it's easy to keep the party going. Just pick a place downtown ahead of time and let everyone know. The Pink Pony, Horn's Bar, The Gate House, Patrick Doud's Irish Pub, The Draught House, and The Mustang are all great places open until 2:00 am.
Whether it's music during the processional and recessional, or a candle lighting ceremony, background music surely enhances the mood. Ask your DJ to play beautiful music for your ceremony. You can even select your favorite special song as you walk down the aisle together as newlyweds. RECEPTIONS Whether you're having a large or small wedding, without question your DJ is essential to the overall success of your wedding reception. A local DJ on Mackinac has experience and is properly equipped to handle all the legistics and responsibilities required. The first dance is the song that says s omething about the bride and groom as a couple. Think about what makes you unique as a pair and try to find a song with lyrics that reflect those sentiments. Take a dance lesson or learn something for your first dance together, it's a real crowd-pleaser. More memories are made when things are unconventional. Brevin Cawthorne of A-LIST EVENT GROUP says, "most couples have a style of music they like and provide me with a list of 'must have' song selections for the reception. Or it's no problem leaving the majority of the music selections to the DJ who knows, based on experience, what string of songs work best." DJ Brevin Cawthorne says, "You want to make sure your DJ understands how to read a crowd, build the energy and keep it going. We blend all sorts of music genres to accommodate everyone and keep them on the dance floor" says

here is no doubt that music can transform a wedding experience, setting the tone for
between different phases of the event, plus you can count on more affordable pricing options as well. If you’re planning a wedding and want it to be something everyone will remember, hire a good DJ and make your celebration a huge hit. CEREMONIES Music is such an integral part of setting the right tone during a wedding ceremony's emotional moments—like the processional, the vows, and the recessional—and helps elevate the overall experience for everyone. While the idea of using a phone and bluetooth speaker to play pre-recorded music might seem like an easy and cost- effective solution, it does carry risks. There’s the possibility of technical issues, such as songs playing in the wrong order, audio cutting out unexpectedly, or a rnging phone interrupting those intimate moments. These little distractions could take away from the beauty and flow of the ceremony. Since
it’s such a special, once-in-a-lifetime event, you want everything to go smoothly without the added stress of worrying about technical issues. Speak with any wedding professional and they will certainly suggest against it.
