Live Entertainment

Having a live band at a wedding is so much fun. There are many fun "retro" bands, some even in costume like Wonderbread 5 pictured. They were fabulous at this wedding and the dance floor was full all night long. There are a few drawbacks to having a live band that you need to consider. They play sets and in between sets they need a break. This break does not include making announcements or playing background music. The perfect combo is to have a DJ at your wedding also. The DJ can play the dinner music, do all of the emceeing, and play music and coordinate wedding activities (ie: cake cutting, bouquet & garter) during the band breaks. You get the best of both worlds!

Original ideas....

Wedding cakes are fabulous these days and bakers are doing the most amazing things to the traditional wedding cake. The traditional bride and groom wedding topper is still seen occasionally, but more often brides are electing to have a floral topper. While this is a lovely idea, remember this is just one more place to be original and have your personality or theme reflected. Here we have double height cake layers, about 9" each, and then we used a Buddah statue I found at a downtown imports store. Get creative and let your guests see your style!
