What is the #1 piece of advice you would give to couples planning a wedding in 2013/2014

A: My number one piece of advice for couples planning is that ultimately remember why you are there getting married…to be with your partner and the details are important but not the “be all end all”! Just don’t forget the reason why you are getting married and when it is all over it will be well worth it.

Why is it important for brides and grooms-to-be to shop locally for the wedding products/services?

A: It’s important for brides to shop locally because it provides your local businesses with business and is a way for you to invest in your local community. Ultimately, if you invest in your local businesses for your products and services, it keeps the area alive and continues to serve you for all of your needs

What would you say has been the proudest moment as a business owner in the wedding industry?

A: One of my most gratifying moments is when the couple I’m investing in accepts me as more than just their photographer, but as a friend and we continue our friendship beyond the wedding day. A wedding is one of the most important days of your life and investing in the right photographer will allow you to re-live and remember those stories for many years.

What will you be showcasing at the Hamilton-Halton Spring Wedding Show 2013?

A: I will be showcasing Eagleye Photography and I’m very blessed that I will be able to showcase my passion for photography through my work and educate brides in what they would be asking photographers and know their rights as a client in this industry. At Eagleye Photography, our business is investing in people and we are blessed that we get to do that through photography. Educating our clients is just as important as shooting the wedding day.

Behind the “Big Day” Series: The DJ Emporium

One of the main things guests talk about before a wedding is “I wonder what type of music they are going to play?”….and how much fun they had at the wedding is often what they will remember from years to come! Help your guests get their groove on and ensure you throw a great party overall by booking a great DJ well in advance of  your Big Day.  Fabio from The DJ Emporium took  the time to chat about his experience in being a part of hundreds of different weddings a year. 

PS: The girls at TopWeddingShows.com LOVE DJ Emporium’s image on their home page (see below)!  A sign of a great wedding is when your guests are up, dance and having a great time

Q: In your opinion, what are the biggest trends for the upcoming wedding season?

A: LIVE Entertainment! (Check out a video of a DJ Emporium Event HERE)

DJ Emporium DJ & Live Entertainment

From what the team at TopWeddingShows.com has seen, while DJs are still popular, couples are incorporating different types of live entertainment throughout their entire wedding. From trumpet players announcing the bride when she walks down the aisle, salsa dancers at the reception to full swing bands or steel drum bands getting everyone to the dance floor; live entertainment adds so much energy to your wedding party.

Q: What is the number one piece of advice you would give to couples planning a wedding in 2012/2013?

A: Believe in the wedding professionals you hire! Remember, you get what you pay for.

Q: What is one of the funniest/strangest things you have experienced since working in the wedding industry?

A: At one wedding, the groom suffered heat stroke, left to the hospital on his own, then returned after dinner to party!

Q: What is your favourite part of the wedding process?

A: PARTY TIME!  Its fun to see everyone cut loose and enjoy themselves!

Wedding Day Tip: Take It All In!

I recently attended a friends wedding and heard a piece of advice that really stuck with me.  At the end of his toast, the brother of the brides asked the bride and groom to stand up and look around the room at all the people that had gathered together to support and celebrate their union in marriage.  The newly weds did so and after several moments you could tell they were truly overwhelmed by the love and support that stared back at them. Afterwards the bride told me it was one of her favourite moments of the night; one she would never forget.

Another great way to capture this amazing memory forever is to gather everyone together for one huge group portrait. It’s a great way to capture everyone together! For best results, ask your wedding photographer if they have a panoramic setting on their camera
