Getting what you pay for

Happy Monday! 

Recently I came across a inquiry on a popular bridal website which promotes itself as a help to Brides and engaged couples. There is an open forum on there where Brides-To-Be can ask a question and other "experienced" Brides can answer back.

I got a bit concerned when I saw one particular thread of question which happens to pertain to our area. It went a little something like this:

BTB(Bride-To_Be): Hello looking for an inexpensive DJ for my upcoming wedding. I only have $XXX for a DJ but if I can't find one I will have my reception done with an ipod

Some of the advice she got was alright, like "post this on a different board, it may help narrow your search better" but then I see another response saying a particular DJ (whom we have worked with and wouldn't recommend) was in the BTB's area and that particular DJ's rates were reasonable. There was nothing else though, no "and that DJ is so good" or "this DJ did my wedding, he rocked it and he was inexpensive"

Lovely Brides-To Be, do yourself a favor, make sure when looking for the deals and the "inexpensive vendors", please please get some references from past clients, look into their business a bit and get more information before signing a contract. Ask other vendors if they have worked with a particular vendor. I can't tell you how many times, we refer a wonderful vendor (who may be a bit more expensive than the bottom of the barrel inexpensive one that a Bride found) and the couple ends up going with with the bottom of the barrel vendor to save money, then ends up regretting it afterward.

This is the most important day of your life, you want to make sure that the people who are helping you throw it are professional, care about you and will help to make sure it goes off as smoothly as possible. Do your homework on each vendor, interview different vendors and ask people in the industry if they have worked with particular vendors.


On another note we had an amazing wedding this weekend with some really great, professional vendors who worked as a team to make the day go perfectly!

 Thanks to all involved and a BIG congratulations to the beautiful and fun couple Stacie and Stephen!

Lyrics/Letra...

You don't know that I know,
You watch me every night
And I just can't resist the urge
To stand here in the light
You're greedy eyes upon me
And then I come undone
And I could close the curtains
But this too much fun

[Chorus/Refrão]
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off

So much left unspoken
Between the two of us
It's so much more exciting
To look when you can touch
You could say I am different
And maybe am afraid
But I know how to twist ya
To bring you to your knees

[Chorus/Refrão]
I get off on you
getting off on me
I give you what you want
[ Halestorm Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
but nothing is for free
it's give and take
kinda life we make
when your line is crossed
I get off
I get off

But you don't know
but you can't see
What i'll do for you
I'll do for me

[Pre-chorus/Pré-Refrão]
I get off on you
getting off on me
I give you what you want
Yeaaaaaaaaa...

[Chorus/Refrão]
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off

YEaa....I get off
YEaa....I get off
I get off
