<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7534 alignleft" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/wedding-vows_1-300x129.jpg" alt="tips on wedding vows" width="300" height="129" srcset="https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/wedding-vows_1-300x129.jpg 300w, https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/wedding-vows_1.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As part of your wedding planning, you might have thought about doing your own wedding vows. After all, you and your fiancé are unique people, so why not say something that reflects who you are? The hardest part is trying to figure out exactly what to say. Here are some tips on finding the right words.</span></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">
<h2 align="JUSTIFY">Writing wedding vows:</h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Start with reading over traditional vows. They can give you a good launching point. They can also give you a structure for you both to follow, especially handy if you are writing them separately.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Read over your favorite poems or song lyrics. These might be a great way for you to include a particularly meaningful passage in your vows.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use some quotes from your favorite TV show or movie. It could be a line you love to quote to each other or it might be something you heard on your first date.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you two love video games, you might even make reference to the game in your vows. You can have a full wedding theme around your favorite movie or game.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Find some advice from your parents or grandparents to use. This often brings tears to the eyes of your attendees, but it’s also a really sweet way to pay tribute at the same time as you are starting your lives together.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use humor. One couple wrote, “I will always make sure there&#8217;s a box of fruit loops at home” as the other partner loves fruit loops. Just make sure the joke is appropriate and that it is not too obscure.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mention something cute or quirky about the other person. Those things you find endearing about your beloved are the things you will always cherish, so why not share them?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Some religions have written agreements, so they make a great starting point for vows. For instance, in Judaism, the bride and groom sign a ketubah, or a form of a prenuptial agreement. You could consider incorporating part of the wording of the ketubah into your vows. Some couples have read their ketubah in front of everyone and explained what each component means to them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Write all the words down that you want, then trim them down later to about a minute’s worth of words per person. Getting all of your ideas down allows you to see them all and pick the best ideas and the ones that are the most important to you.</span></li>
</ul>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">One thing to make sure of is that both of you are on the same page and that you both know you will be doing your own vows. A surprise here would not be too good!</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Make sure the officiant is ok with you sharing your own vows, as some religions have specific things that must be said as part of the ceremony. Overall, the best tip on wedding vows is to let your heart speak. Good luck!</span></p>

<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-7436 size-medium" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0491-copy-300x200.jpg" alt="who pays for the wedding" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0491-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0491-copy.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />There are traditions and etiquette standards for who pays for which part of a wedding. The easy way to break everything down is to say that the bride and her family pay for the wedding, and the groom pays for all of the rehearsal items. That might be a bit too simple, however, so let’s dive into a bit more detail of which family pays for which part of a wedding.</span></p>
<h1 align="JUSTIFY"></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 align="JUSTIFY"><strong><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What the bride’s family covers:</span></strong></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The bride’s parents pay for the engagement party as well as the listing in the announcements section of the newspaper. The goal of the engagement party is to welcome the groom into her family and let the two families get better acquainted. It gives the families the opportunity to meet before the wedding day and thus reduce some of the stress that comes with the wedding itself. An aside on the announcement – if the groom is from another city, it might be nice to post an announcement in his hometown newspaper, too.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Her family will also handle all of the <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/wedding-invitations-embossed-thermography/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">invitations</span></a> and the programs for the wedding.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The bride’s family covers all of the things that go into the wedding itself – the dress, the flowers at the wedding location, the bouquets the bride’s attendants carry, the limousine, the location, the photographer, the costs incurred by the officiant including his or her travel expenses, and the reception including music, decorations and food. The bride’s parents are also typically the host and hostess for the reception.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The bride buys the gifts (and often arranges for the hotels) for her bridesmaids and maid of honor, and she pays for the groom’s wedding ring.</span></p>
<h2 align="JUSTIFY"><strong><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What the groom’s family covers:</span></strong></h2>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The groom’s family pays for the rehearsal dinner as well as the boutonnieres for the groom’s attendants, and of course, the groom’s tuxedo. They would also cover the corsages for mothers and grandmothers. The groom’s parents are the hosts of this dinner also. This meal is often much smaller than the reception, and it typically only includes the wedding party and maybe a few of the bride and groom’s closest friends.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">They also pay for the groom’s attendants’ lodging when the bride is covering her attendants. However, all of the attendants are responsible to pay for their own clothing.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The groom will also cover the license costs and the engagement and wedding rings for the bride. The actual fee for the officiant is often covered by the groom’s family, too.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many times in the past the groom or his family covered the honeymoon, but as times change, often the new couple co-pays for this.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sometimes the groom’s family will cover the costs of the champagne for the reception, a nice gesture that helps balance the costs. They also pay for the bride’s bouquet and her corsage as well as the corsages for the mothers.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you are like most couples now in days, you will take into consideration that a wedding is not cheap, and would help cover a big part of the wedding budget, if not all. The best way to come up with your <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/planning-wedding-budget/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">wedding budget</span></a> is to sit down and figure out what you can afford. Remember that your wedding doesn&#8217;t need to be like the kardashians in order to make it memorable.</span></p>

On the one hand, an afternoon wedding with an evening reception lets people dance the night away. On the other, a daytime wedding has a more sociable feel to it and it tends to cost a lot less. So what to do? Which to choose? Here are some of the pros and cons of having brunch weddings.</span></p>
<h1 align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Brunch Weddings Pros</b></span></h1>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A daytime wedding has many advantages. One of the things you will find is that the venue is cheaper and you can have more flexibility to have a unique event that no one else would choose. You may also find that your <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/why-dj-prices-vary/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">vendors</span></a> will also offer you a discount for having a daytime event. Also, brunch meals are typically cheaper to prepare and serve than are dinners.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You may also have an easier time getting a venue booked because daytime weddings are less common and the calendars are less crowded. Plus, if your venue is a stunning location, having your wedding and reception during the day will allow your guests to enjoy the scenery.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Guest typically don’t drink as much during the daytime as they otherwise would for an evening reception, and with the cost of alcohol being quite high, this can add up to a sizable savings.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even if your wedding is on a Sunday, your guests might have an easier time knowing that they will have time to get home and unwind before they have to go back to work on Monday. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Out of town guests</span> can even arrive on Saturday, enjoy some sightseeing in the area, and then attend the wedding the next day.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You, the bride, might enjoy an early wedding because you won’t have as much time to think about the wedding event itself and therefore your nerves might be kept at bay. You get up, get going, and get married –with plenty of time in the evening to spend with your new hubby away from the crowds.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Overall, an afternoon event tends to feel more relaxed and like a cocktail event. If you choose, you can have an after-reception reception with your closest friends and family with plenty of time to spare.</span></li>
</ul>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Cons</b></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">One of the major issues with brunch weddings is that it might be harder to get people to dance just because it’s a different feel than an evening wedding. People are also less inclined to drink as much and therefore might be less inclined to cut loose during the day.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you aren’t a morning person, you might not enjoy getting up early for your hair and <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/wedding-makeup-expert-secrets/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">makeup</span></a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Some brides find it relaxing to get to be with their friends and family before the actual wedding and a morning wedding makes that much harder to accomplish.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You might not like the laid-back atmosphere that an afternoon reception almost requires, and your <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/choosing-perfect-wedding-colors/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">color scheme</span></a> might not blend as well as an afternoon event. Dark, dramatic themes just don’t play as well with the sunlight.</span></li>
</ul>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Whichever type of wedding you choose, you will know that it reflects who you are and what your personality is like. If you choose to have a brunch wedding but still want to have the fun mood that an evening event offers, make sure that you hire the right vendors (like MOsDJ) to be able to mimic that atmosphere. Whatever you decide just make sure that you enjoy your day – you’ve earned it!</span></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Help Your Bridesmaids Save<br />
</b></span></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-medium wp-image-7391 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/bridesmaid-save-money_1-300x200.jpg" alt="bridesmaid save money" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/bridesmaid-save-money_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/bridesmaid-save-money_1.jpg 550w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />As you well know, weddings can be expensive, and those expenses extend down to your bridesmaids, too. You might have planned for a particular look, <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/top-trending-wedding-themes-nj/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">theme</span></a> or idea for your wedding but may have not yet factored in how much it will cost people to be a part of your wedding. Here are ten ways you can help your bridesmaids save money and still enjoy their time.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Choose a budget friendly bachelorette party. You might want to have an all weekend event, but remember, if you are holding it out-of-town or you are bringing your bridesmaids in from all over the country, they have to pay for a hotel and perhaps a car rental, and then there are the meals they may have to buy. This might mean the difference for some bridesmaids between being able to attend and having to send their regards. Try to keep it simple. You might want to have a fun get together locally instead of an expensive option. That casual nature can help keep everyone’s stress down, too.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Putting the events together. If your bridesmaids are flying in, you won’t want to have them do so two or even three times for an engagement party, a bachelorette party, and then the wedding. Keep flight prices in mind and try to combine the events as much as you can.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Negotiate the hotel rates if you can. You might be able to get a discounted rate from a hotel or bed and breakfast if you have all of your bridesmaids stay there. You might get an even better deal if you hold one of your events there. Getting this done early means your bridesmaids can also book early and save.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Look for Groupon deals. There might be a way you all can go do something fun together if you find a great Groupon or Living Social deal.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Save on the dresses. There are some places that will rent bridesmaids’ dresses for about $100 each instead of buying a dress she might not ever wear again. This also gives you the chance to let the ladies pick their own dresses around a theme or a color, instead of everyone looking exactly the same. Also, a <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/choosing-perfect-wedding-colors/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">color theme</span></a> means they can go to a department store dress section and buy one that will suit them for the wedding and for future events.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alter the accessories not the dress. If a dress might be a bit long, perhaps a pair of heels can correct things instead of choosing an expensive alteration. This method also saves on time, too, and the ladies can wear a shoe that they like and fits comfortably.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Be open to <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/do-it-yourself-wedding-planning/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">DIY wedding</span></a> decorations. What a great way to do things together! Choose the decorations from your favorite magazine or website, and then make them as a group. It’s a fun way to create a theme that means something to all of you. If anyone loves to scour antique shops or rummage sales, you can score some great vintage items to tailor to what you want to display.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hair and <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/wedding-makeup-expert-secrets/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">makeup DIY</span></a>. If your bridesmaids want to save a bit here, there is no harm in letting them do their own hair and makeup. After all, Duchess Kate did her own!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Give your bridesmaids gifts they can really use. There are some bridesmaids’ gifts that are fun, but not terribly practical. Think of things that they might be able to use later, like jewelry or a nice set of stationery with a journal. This shows you care about them as the wonderful people they are.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don&#8217;t allow your bridesmaids to over volunteer. They may want to help you and show you their love but we all know that weddings are expensive for everyone involved and can be stressful. Being mindful of tasks will assure your bridesmaids sanity.</span></li>
</ol>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There you have it! Ten great ways to save your bridesmaids’ budgets and still have a lovely wedding. Best wishes to you all.</span></p>

<h1><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Wedding Videography – Filming Your Perfect Day</span></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-7364 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/wedding_videography_1.jpg" alt="wedding videography" width="362" height="241" /></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">There&#8217;s a lot a questions that arise when you are booking a videographer for your wedding. Many people </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">are not in tuned with whats involved in processing or shooting your wedding video. We are here to help you ask the necessary questions to ensure you get the best results from your wedding videographer.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Many or most of our clients really don’t know how we film their wedding and reception, the post-production process, and what to expect of the finished film. A <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://www.mosdj.net/contact" target="_blank">consultation</a></span> is your opportunity to ease your concerns, identify your interests, and ask for a description (in general terms) of the process of creating your video.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Reassurance: You need to know/feel that your videographer understands that this is one of the most important days of your life: That everything he/she does will be focused on filming what is important <i>to you</i>. You also want your videographer to be as unobtrusive as possible at all times.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Information: Make sure that they understand what you want them to cover. Although they should have experience in covering a wedding, give them a mapped out information about the day, including:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Venue(s) and ceremony program</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Time and events –what periods of time you will expect to be filmed / what events should be covered.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Identify key people and activities (in addition to the ceremony) to be filmed.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Filming: Ask him/her to outline their video process.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">How many <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="Choosing your Wedding Videographer and Format" href="http://www.mosdj.net/choosing-your-wedding-videographer-and-format/" target="_blank">cameras</a></span> will they use, where, and why?</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">How will they record the sound portion of the video – will they use auxiliary microphones like lapel or lavaliere system.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Who (if anyone) will be assisting them.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Post Production: this is the creative and careful knitting together of filmed images and audio into a smoothly flowing finished film. Ask for a summary of how the digital images are uploaded from the cameras to their computer and which video editing software is used to edit the film to its final form.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Videos should be edited in post-production, not in-camera. In-camera editing will not yield the desired cohesive results.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Edit for more than one version. You may opt to have a 5 to 8 minute “overview or <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="What’s a Video Highlight | Videographer in NJ" href="http://www.mosdj.net/whats-video-highlight/" target="_blank">video highlights</a></span>&#8221; (to share with friends), and a longer or full-length version for yourself.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">They should be editing for continuity of action and story, using transition overlaps, cuts, and audio to build emotions and tell your story, scene by scene.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">He/she should outline the finishing touches (if you ask for that option) such as titles, retouches, lighting adjustments, subtly, special effects, music, etc.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Edit out unflattering footage.<br />
</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Post-production-to-finished-video times will vary, depending on the finished product(s) you select, and how much footage they film. Ask for a specific completion date.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Loading yourself with a lot of technical information may be overwhelming – especially when your mind is filled with other wedding arrangements. Be up front in asking questions and alert as to how much information is not enough (or too much).</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Remember that you will soon be documenting a significant event in your life. The completed video will bring each special moment alive again and again, and be cherished through the years, so make sure you hire a professional to do the job right the first time. We have professional videographers with over 14 years of experience that will treat your wedding like their own. For more information or to ask for a free consultation, feel free to contact us.<br />

<h1 style="text-align: center;" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Creating Photo Memories with a Photo Booth in NJ</span></strong><br />
</span></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When was the last time you and your best friend(s) squeezed into a photo booth and made funny faces at the camera? Generations of people have posed before the red eye of an invisible camera lens and eagerly waited for the machine to spew out the strip of photos. Now in days, you have many different options when searching/looking to rent a photo booth.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Morphing Photo Booth</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Part pop culture / part art form, coin-operated photo booths have been used for commercial picture-taking since the late 19<sup>th</sup> century. But while we might remember the kitschy narrow box with a curtain “door” and narrow (or no) seating, the photo booth has evolved and morphed with the ages.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Antique:</span></strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-7339 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/photo_both_1.jpg" alt="photo booth in NJ | MOsDJ " width="186" height="175" /></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A staple of carnivals</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> and amusement parks, </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">there still are a number </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">of vintage photo</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> booths operating in various parts of the world. They still use ‘wet chemistry’ to develop and produce a strip of between 3 – 8 photos.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Vintage:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This booth type is based on the general design and appearance of the Antique photo booth but has been fitted with the latest digital technology. An in-booth computer screen allows users to select photo options and to see themselves as they pose. NOTE: these booths are typically made of steel construction; transporting them at a venue can be challenging.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Retro style:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Based in appearance on Vintage booths, Retro booths are designed to be more mobile and used in the photo-booth-for hire market.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Modern:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Larger than Retro or Vintage photo booths, </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-7340 alignleft" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/booths1.jpg" alt="MOsDJ entertainment Photo booth in NJ" width="204" height="151" /></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Vintage booths are enclosed with curtains, lightweight walls, or panels. They are larger in interior proportions and can accommodate larger groups of people. Modern booths are “demountable” (can be broken into smaller components) and are more easily moved around a venue. NOTE: some of these booths are not fitted with a screen so guests will be unaware of when photos are taken.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Kiosk:</span></strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-7341 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/Kiosk-photo-booth.jpg" alt="Kiosk photo booth in NJ" width="85" height="156" /></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This booth type is a column-style machine</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> without an enclosure. Nothing blocks out the people or other extraneous background that may appear in the picture. The Kiosk booth can be set up either open or with an enclosure.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Novelty:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Think photo booth on wheels – almost any vehicle. Creative vendors have converted cars, caravans, and mini-vans into photo booths complete with digital technology.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Studio or Open Style:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The typical setup includes a green screen or a backdrop and </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-7347 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/open-photo-booth.jpg" alt="open photo booth" width="234" height="170" /></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">studio lights, <i>but </i></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">the pictures are taken by an on-site photographer.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Photo booths are used, particularly in Europe, Australia, and Japan, for passports, driving licenses and other identification forms. In the U.S., they are used mostly for entertainment.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A New Photo Booth Market</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rentals of Photo Booth in NJ have gained popularity, especially for significant events like Sweet 16 parties, wedding receptions, proms, corporate events and trade shows. The advantages of modern photo booths are the quick processing time, image customization, and the ability to share photos online with guests. For festive events, many hosts (like us) include props that guests can choose to “customize” their pictures and increase the fun.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The important things for event planners to remember is to choose the photo booth function and size that best suits the purpose of the event – and then encourage everyone to stop by and have their pictures taken! We, at MOsDJ, have the highest quality photo booths and use an open style approach with our 24mp DSLR camera. We have green screens and back drops, and two attendants in every event to satisfy your event&#8217;s demands. Contact us for bookings or any questions about our photo booths.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So it’s finally here – your daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday year, and it’s time to start planning her party. This right-of-passage can be significant in your young lady’s life so planning the sweet 16 carefully and well in advance is important. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you are going all out with a Sweet 16 party for friends, here are some points to consider as you begin planning.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Planning a sweet 16 do’s</span></strong></h1>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Start planning 3 – 8 months before the party: experienced Sweet 16 party planners recommend 2-3 months before, but we truly believe that this is not enough time to plan such a big event. Consider planning your event as early as possible in order to tackle all that&#8217;s ahead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Create a checklist/timeline: this will help you keep track of the many tasks that must take place</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img decoding="async" class="ngg-singlepic ngg-none alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/gallery/sweet-16/20090428011931_untitl.jpg" alt="Planning a sweet 16" /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> before and on the day of the party.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Decide on a theme: picking a theme will help you with your budgeting, decorating, </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">venue choice, etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Select a date as early as possible: it doesn’t have to be your daughter’s actual birthday. Remember to take into consideration an</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">y holidays and vacations and plan to send out “Save the Date” notices to those on the guest list.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Decide on the venue: your party’s venue should be appropriate to the occasion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Do develop a budget: it will help you with your overall planning. Include an extra amount for unexpected expenses. Keep track of every expenses – even the <a title="Not all Vendors should get a Tip" href="http://www.mosdj.net/tipping-vendors/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">least amounts</span></a>; save those receipts, contracts, and notices, too!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Do your research on a Photographer, Videographer, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="Top 5 Qualities a Sweet 16 DJ Must Have" href="http://www.mosdj.net/top-5-qualities-sweet-16-dj-must/">entertainment company or DJ</a></span> because it can make or ruin your event (<span style="font-size: 10pt;">like this picture which was given to us to be retouched because the photographer was an inexperienced</span>).<br />
</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don’ts</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Don’t do this alone: remember, this is a pivotal moment in your daughter’s life. If you do all the planning, you might be overlooking what is important to her. Your daughter should be a partner in planning and executing her party. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Call in additional reinforcements to help with the various tasks and activities (especially if this will be a DIY party).  </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Don’t underestimate the importance of the RSVP: food and a booked venue will be among your larger expenses. You need to know how many guests to plan for as well as the size of the venue to book.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Don’t send out invitations until you have double-checked every USPS and/or email address: avoid the pain of hurt feelings because an invitation was undeliverable.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Don’t open gifts at the party: this “rule” is open to debate and your decision may be based on the number of gifts, the venue, and the activities planned for the day. It may be better to wait till a later date to enjoy opening the gift. Plus, you&#8217;ll spend lots of time that can be very well spent dancing.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Final thoughts for you.</strong> </span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    It’s OK to feel a bit stressed: on party day, ordinarily small irritating things can suddenly balloon way out of proportion. Take a moment to breathe deeply and affirm to yourself that all is well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">    •    Not sending thank you notes is NOT an option: it may be old-fashioned and just not done anymore, but your daughter’s guests (both friends and family) deserve to know that they are appreciated for their thoughtfulness and generosity. If she’s old enough to be acknowledged as a young adult, she’s old enough to write thank you notes to her guests without complaint or delay!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You’ve planned everything carefully and joyfully. Now is time to enjoy! For bookings or If you need additional help feel free to call us, and best Sweet 16 wishes.</span></p>

<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;"><b>VJs Explained</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">We’ve all heard of disk jockeys and odds are that if you’re planning a <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="The Secret To Pick The Perfect Wedding Season To Marry" href="http://www.mosdj.net/the-secret-to-pick-the-perfect-wedding-season-to-marry/" target="_blank">wedding</a></span>, you may be considering<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-7246 alignright" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/serato-VJ.jpg" alt="MOsDJ VJ" width="500" height="313" /> hiring one yourself. However, as technology has improved some DJs have taken an additional step from the norm and become VJs. VJ stands for video disk jockey, which in essence is a DJ who also plays videos to accompany the music that is being played. You may have seen a version of this in nightclubs, where a music video will accompany the song. Well a mobile VJ offers the same services on a slightly smaller scale but they can make a big difference for your wedding reception or after party.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;"><b>Customization</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">VJs are able to attach practically any video to a track in their repertoire. While you can still have the standard music videos to go along with the song that is playing, more creative couples can easily create their own videos and ask the VJ to play them over particular songs.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">This idea is particularly useful during the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="Wedding Reception Program" href="http://www.mosdj.net/wedding-reception-program/" target="_blank">first dance</a></span>. Imagine a video of moments shared by you and your partner playing in the background as your favorite song plays and you share that first dance. It’s sure to tug on the heart-strings of practically any guest at the wedding and it will make that first dance even more memorable and special.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">If you are interested in customized videos, it is best to speak to your selected VJ way in advance. They will be able to tell you what <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="Choosing your Wedding Videographer and Format" href="http://www.mosdj.net/choosing-your-wedding-videographer-and-format/" target="_blank">file format</a></span> they need the video to be made in, and may also be able to help you work on it so that it fits the music perfectly. It takes time to edit a video so don&#8217;t leave this for last minute. The last thing you want is to plan a dance along the tunes of a video and things don&#8217;t come out the way you imagined. This is usually associated with poor planning and last minute edits.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Even for the songs where a custom video isn’t playing, a good VJ will have a large stock of videos that can add an extra layer of atmosphere to the music. Whether it’s the original music video or their own creations, a VJ should always have plenty to offer in both the audio and visual departments.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;"><b>Are they worth hiring?</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">In truth it really depends on what you are looking to portrait at your reception party. Some couples prefer something a little more subtle, with a band or a regular DJ, which is perfectly fine.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">VJs are perhaps at their best when they are working a party that has a more loud and boisterous atmosphere. They will be able to match their videos to the mood of the music and the room, creating a dance floor that is truly unforgettable.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Of course, you also need to consider the fact that a VJ is likely to cost a little more than a regular DJ. Remember that they generally need to bring a fair bit of equipment along with them, all of which will require them to charge higher rates. Furthermore, that extra equipment takes up more space, so if that is a factor it is certainly worth checking around before making the decision.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">Last of all, go with your gut. If you don’t feel as though a VJ could enhance the wedding party then don’t hire one. A<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;">t the end of the day, i</span>t all comes down to personal taste, but at the very least it is always an avenue that is worth exploring. If you are not sure if you should have a VJ at your event, come by our office and we&#8217;ll be glad to give you a free consultation in order to show you how a VJ works.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.mosdj.net/top-10-tips-newlyweds/">Top 10 Tips for Newlyweds</a></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7237 size-full" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0866.jpg" alt="Tips for newlyweds" width="320" height="213" />So the big day has come and gone and the honeymoon was everything you had hoped and dreamed about. It’s now time to settle down and enjoy married life with your partner, but what does that actually mean? If this is your first rodeo, do you really know what to do or how to act? We usually follow up with our newlyweds and asked them how things are going, and what has helped them adjust to such an enormous life change. Here&#8217;s what we have heard the most:<br />
</span></p>
<h1 align="JUSTIFY"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Tips for Newlyweds</strong></span></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY">
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>1. Appreciate the little things</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">At the end of the day, it’s the little things that make people happy. Staying in bed together for a couple of extra hours on a Sunday morning, enjoying a meal together or simply watching a movie and sharing a laugh together. The little things bind us in subtle ways so let them happen and enjoy them to the fullest.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>2. Communicate</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Every relationship will have its issues. After all, it is practically impossible to find somebody who is exactly like you in every way. Talk through your issues and don’t let them build up. The more time you spend being pridefull and thinking you are right and not paying attention to your partner&#8217;s feelings, the more time you waste. Like most people say, communication is key. Most importantly, always be honest with each other.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>3. Independence</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Time apart is almost as important as time together. If you like doing certain things and your partner has no interest in them, don’t be afraid to enjoy them on your own. It will make the times you do share even more special. I find that this works with some couples we follow up with but it depends on the relationship you have with your partner. If you want to follow this tip, I recommend that you speak with your partner and make sure she/he is ok with this. Remember that communication is key. It has always worked for me.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>4. Realize nobody is perfect</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Dating is entirely different from spending your life together. The little gestures designed to impress a person are most of the times stripped away during the course of the marriage. Unfortunately, this is inevitable and you have to accept that you’re both human and each has their own imperfections. If he/she makes a mistake, embrace it instead of getting upset. Realize that this is part of your new experience and come up with ways to mold your relationship how you want it.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>5. Sex</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Althought this doesn&#8217;t come up a lot, the ones that talk about it say that sex is important. I beleive that you can&#8217;t let the spark die through overfamiliarity. Experiment with and enjoy your sex lives. After all, a couple is never closer than they are during the most intimate of moments.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>6. Roll with the punches</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">In a lot of the weddings we <a href="http://www.mosdj.net/photography/gallery/wedding-photo-gallery/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">host</span></a>, it is likely we hear the words “for better or for worse”. Remember that phrase! Life won’t always be perfect but whether is financial, medical or conditional, there is nothing that you and your partner can’t face as long as you do it together.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>7. The first is just the beginning</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Some couples have a rocky start. Remember that you will be spending a lifetime with your other half. If the first year isn’t going so well just remember that there are many more to come and they all hold their own ups and downs, just as they would if you weren’t married.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>8. Keep dating</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">We hear this one a lot, specially from women. It is extremely important to spend time together. Make sure that you make the effort to do so outside of the regular monotony of life. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Enjoy a film, cook a meal of go for a walk. Anything that you can do together can be a date.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>9. Compromise</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">We mentioned that disagreements can happen and, at the end of the day, it shouldn’t be about who wins. It should be about reaching a conclusion that satisfies you both as far as possible.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>10. Have fun</b></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">This tip is from us to remind you that joy can be found in so many ways. Never forget that the person you love understands you better than anybody else and always make sure to enjoy as much of life as you can together. More fun means more happiness, and more happiness will help you get through anything together.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.mosdj.net/wedding-insurance-really-worth-expense/">Is Wedding Insurance Really Worth the expense</a></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Your wedding is one of the biggest and most elaborately prepared days of your life, so you should always consider the following question – what if something goes wrong? Without wanting to jinx the big day, there are a lot of things that need to come together to make a wedding great, and there are a number of mitigating circumstances that can lead to issues with the big day <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.wedsafe.com/Pages/wedding-insurance-claims.aspx" target="_blank">(read from real live situations)</a></span>.</span></em></span> This is where wedding insurance comes into play. Like other forms of insurance, wedding insurance can protect you against illness, natural disasters, vendor issues or anything that may go wrong. A good insurer, like <a href="https://www.wedsafe.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">WedSafe</span></a>, will be able to cover you for the following:</span></p>
<h1 align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Cancellations and Postponements</b></span></h1>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">As difficult and unpleasant as it may be to think about, there&#8217;s always the possibility that a wedding may end up being called off. Whether the relationship has broken down or there is an issue in the family that has caused the date to be postponed, having good wedding insurance ensures that you can recover a large portion of the money you have spent. After all, an average wedding cost about $30,000 or more, so having a wedding policy can ensure that you don’t lose all of your investment.</span></p>
<h2 align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Poor suppliers</b></span></h2>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">There are so many things that go into a wedding that most people usually use external suppliers for. Wedding invitations, decorations, vendors and venues all fall into that category. As with any other business transaction, there&#8217;s always the possibility that you won’t get a full refund if things go wrong. Wedding insurance can cover you in instances where your supplier has failed to deliver the goods and will ensure that you get the money you paid so that you can start your search for a reliable supplier.</span></p>
<h3 align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Damage</b></span></h3>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Wedding attire is expensive, as are wedding venues. Think about this situation: as the night grows older<a href="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/th-e1420051220298.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7082 size-full" src="http://www.mosdj.net/wp-content/uploads/th-e1420051220298.jpg" alt="wedding insurance" width="200" height="133" /></a> and guests become a little more rambunctious there is always the possibility that someone could end up damaging your wedding dress or maybe breaking something in the venue. This could result in the supplier charging you for the damage. As you are well aware, <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">anything that has been purchased for a wedding</span> will be astronomically high and so will be the extra charge. A good insurer will be able to cover almost every aspect of the attire and venue, meaning that anything you hire out that gets damaged is covered by the policy, assuming the damage wasn’t intentional.</span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As you can see, wedding insurance can cover practically anything that you pay for as part of the big day, so it is a good idea to get it sorted out early. Generally speaking you should aim to arrange insurance as soon as you start putting down the first deposits for the wedding. The longer you wait, the less possibility there is that you will attain the policy that you are looking for, plus if something does go wrong in those early days, you won’t have what you need to keep you covered. You can take the chance of not purchasing wedding insurance but if anything goes wrong, you will be left to fend for yourself and ask the vendors, venues and supplier for your money back. In our experience, we have heard horror stories and because of that, we are the ONLY company that offers money back guarantee. However, we are the only company that does that. Any other vendor won&#8217;t refund. This is where wedding insurance comes into play. The decision is yours but safeguarding such a big investment should really be well thought out. For recommendations or to book the ONLY entertainment vendor in the tri-state area to guarantee your money back even if you are not 100% satisfied, contact us</span></p>
