Living in the suburbs of Cleveland and Akron, it seems everyone likes wearing bumming-around outfits to the grocery store. People don’t get dressed up like they used to. Some DJ’s mention in the on-line forums that it’s all about the music, and no one at the wedding cares how they dress; well I do.

A DJ should match the effort put in by the guests, or more. A DJ’s outfit, what their speakers look like, how clean the wires are, and even the smile on their face all lend to the overall environment that you, the bride, spent so much time curating.

Ask a DJ what they typically wear. I’ve seen a DJ recently wear jeans and white New Balance sneakers. You don’t need that at your wedding, you deserve better!

All your aunts are making cookies for the cookie table? Yes, you’ll have too many.

When DJ’ing weddings in Cleveland and NE Ohio, I often see cookie tables. And at the end of the night, I see brides and their mothers hocking cookies in pretty to-go boxes; even though most of the guests have left by that point. Ultimately, the cookies will get wrapped up because no one wants to throw them away.

In my humble opinion, you’ll have less work for yourself & family if opting for a smaller cookie table; though trying to tell family members not to make three dozen cookies each offers its own challenges :)
