I just came across this informative video put out by the American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) that deals with those who are thinking about having an iPod Wedding. In today's financial climate, it is understandable that an engaged couple may want to cut down the overall cost of their wedding celebration. I truly believe that the one essential component, absolutely crucial for ensuring the success of any wedding celebration, is utilizing the services of a professional and experienced wedding entertainment host. This is a subject I feel strongly about, not just as a professional wedding entertainer myself, but as someone who has observed hundreds of weddings. I have been in the wedding industry for nearly two decades now, and have witnessed nearly every form of mishap imaginable, both first-hand and as an attendee.
I would like to invite you to take a look at the following video of an actual wedding reception that took place at what seems to be a private residence. For whatever reason, the bride and groom decided to utilize an iPod in lieu of a professional wedding host. The first half of the video highlights the wedding festivities, but the second half is more telling as it shows what really happened during those special moments like the formal introduction of the bride & groom, and their first dance together as husband & wife. After watching this video, I would also recommend reading a series of online articles written by a colleague, Peter Merry (former president of the ADJA). I've had the fortune of hearing Peter speak at a number of engagements and I consider him one of few true leaders in the wedding entertainment industry.
This video can be found at the ADJA's webite.
If you, or anyone you know has ever experienced an iPod Wedding firsthand, I would love to hear from you!
