Make Me Look Fabulous  

You may not be saying that out loud but lets face it you want to look your best on your wedding day. You especially want to look your best in those enduring photographs. So how do you communicate that to your photographer without appearing to be a raving narcissist? Well, just be honest. 

We have worked with many clients who would never want to admit their shortcomings. But we all have them. In fact most of the “beautiful people” will admit to flaws they try to hide. And with the help of talented makeup artists, photographers and retouchers they manage that “beauty” quite well thank you!   (READ MORE)


Career Vs Family - How Do You Maintain Balance?   By Kelly Damron

The expectations of women have changed drastically over the past 100 years, but for many women being a mother is just as important today as it was a century ago. I remember having a conversation with my grandmother when I was in my twenties. We were sitting in her living room; me on her white, green, and blue flowered couch and she in her green antique chair. She was probing me about what my career choice was going to be; she wanted me to pursue a business career, as she had done. My grandmother had been a successful businesswoman who did not have her first child until she was 35 (something unheard of in the 1940s) and who continued to work full-time thereafter.  (READ MORE)

One Thousand Origami Paper Cranes

A thousand paper cranes is traditionally given as a wedding gift by the folder, who is wishing a thousand years of happiness and prosperity upon the couple.  When Emilie and Kyle entered their cocktail hour on February 29, 2008, the entire area was covered with origami paper cranes. 

The Thousand Origami Cranes has become a symbol of world peace through the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who contracted leukemia as a result of radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Her story is told in the the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.  

Sadako's best friend Chizuko, came to visit her and brought with her some origami (folding paper). She told Sadako the legend of the crane. It is Japanese legend that folding 1000 paper cranes (senzaburu) so pleases the gods that the folder is granted a wish.   It has become a symbol of world peace.  We wish Emilie and Kyle a thousand years of happiness.

Best Honeymoon Getaway Ideas   By Low Jeremy

Planning for your honeymoon getaway? Here are some ideas you can consider that will surely provide you the best honeymoon experience:

Top-of-the-line Hotel Honeymoon

After the guests have left, it is time for both of you two enjoy each other. Book at one of the top-of-the-line hotels you can find whether on your area or at one of the best places in the world. There is surely a great difference between staying at top hotels and staying at a regular hotel. Top hotels have bigger, cleaner, and luxurious room. The staffs are more accommodation and are ready to provide their services to your satisfaction. The foods are carefully prepared. All these you can get if you decide to spend your honeymoon in one of the top hotels.    (READ MORE)


Your Event Is When?  

It used to be, clients would call 6 months prior to any event to book a DJ and 12-18 months prior to a wedding to retain a DJ.  Now, in the age of the internet and FREE overnight shipping, everyone expects that they can just simply call and secure a disc jockey for their wedding in 3 months or less.  The problem with that concept is that there are not 1000 equally skilled DJs on a shelf just waiting for your call. 

In the DJ Network, we have 30 qualified and professional wedding DJs.  (The largest professional group of working DJs in all of New England)  If your wedding is between May and October (prime wedding months) and only 26 Saturdays in that timeframe, the availability of a professional DJ is severely limited.  If you're just looking for music at your wedding, then waiting is just fine.  If on the other hand, you want something unique, classy and customized to your needs, then you should consider finding a DJ a year in advanced or more. 

What are the hot dates for 2008?  May 10th, May 24th, June 7th, June 21st, June 28th, July 12th, September 6th, September 20th, October 4th, October 18th.  The time is now to call and setup an appointment with one of our DJs to talk about your plans.  Check Availability Now

When it comes to planning the big day, there are a lot of moving parts. You’ve got caterers to consider, photographers to meet, bands to listen to, cakes to taste and well, about a thousand other details to manage.

The key to keeping track (and keeping your sanity) is good old organization and that’s where this downloadable checklist comes in. It contains every detail you could think of (and about a hundred that you didn’t!) like when to send save-the-date cards, book port-a-potties if necessary, and break in those satin pumps so you’re not limping down the aisle on D-day.
