I get so excited when brides want to share their wedding with me. I love seeing all the different ways a wedding can come together.  So when I posted a Facebook status asking brides to share their wedding day with me and Complete Music Video Photo’s newsletter and Candice Combs responded with a whole bunch of photos I couldn’t help but let out a squeal of excitement!

Candice and her now husband  Daniel Walker were married at Amber Springs in Montgomery, TX on January 6, 2012. Candice told me her wedding was very heavily a do-it-yourself wedding, and it is apparent that Candice is a really great DIY-er!

This is Candice and Daniel:

Their  reception hall, I love the lighting and all the wood work! Their colors were moss green and chocolate brown. I love it!

Candice made her own brooch bouquet she found all the brooches online and then put the bouquet together like a normal flower bouquet. Candice also told me that: ” It also saved me a lot of worry and hassle by not having to deal with real flowers.”

Her centerpieces…went well with her venue’s wood working and colors!

Moss covered letters!Oh yeah she made them herself!

And this is how her guests had to sign in….the FBI may come borrow this from them sometime! Thumbprint trees have really become a great new trend and such an awesome keepsake.

Instead of flowers, Candice made pomanders, and I love the bright look on the white chairs!

Their wedding date! Love this, they can have this in their home after the wedding as well!

Earthy tones, and woodland centerpieces made it a perfect not-so-winter, winter wedding that I really wish I could of attended. At least Complete Music was there as their DJ! (I may have to pick up a side job).

Thank you to Candice and Daniel for sharing their amazing wedding with me and everyone else!  Bride on the Rocks and Complete Music Video Photo wish you many years of happiness. And thank you to their photographer: Endless Exposures Photography who did all the photos you see in this post!

CHEERS!

DJs can make or break a wedding. I don’t know if my company (Complete Music Video Photo) really wants me to say that but it’s true. Wedding DJs have a tough job, all eyes are on them for hours, and if the crowd isn’t dancing or the reception isn’t flowing well it usually falls to the DJ to fix it and if he/she has to fix it then most people would think the DJ failed. A wedding is a BIG deal and feeling solely responsible for the success or failures of such an event can be really stressful.  That is why I wanted to dedicate this one blog entry to DJs in general and more specifically one DJ who won  OMAHA DJ OF THE YEAR….Tay Westberry.

Since corporate is headquartered in Omaha, I actually know Complete’s DJ of the Year and I felt compelled to let people know what an awesome DJ and person he is. How you become DJ of the Year isn’t very easy, he’s been with us for just over a year and a half and he’s generated the most referrals (he’s requested a lot) has some of the highest evaluation marks a DJ can have and an outstanding attitude.

Tay cracks me up every time he comes in, when he’s not working working his three jobs he stops into the office to say hi and is always in the best mood, it’s hard not to be happy around him.

I made Tay sit down and tell me why he thinks he won DJ of the Year:

” I work hard and I honestly strive to be the best DJ I can.  I love the responsibility and the stress of making someone’s wedding day perfect, they rely on me and I like that, I do everything I can to make everything perfect.

Tay definitely sums it up well as to why he thinks he won, but I prefer this comment from one of his brides:

“If you were already booked on the day of our wedding, we would have changed the date to make sure you could be our DJ”  BTW she said this to him one year later when she saw him at a grocery store, so obviously Tay made a great impression.

Tay loves being a DJ and plans on being one for years to come (lucky us!!) and we at Complete are so flipping proud to have him on our team!

Yeah…I know this is a cheesy blog post, but when good people do good things I’m a firm believer they should get recognition.

Cheers
