Green Friday: HiFi Weddings!

Written by Sara on February 5, 2010 – 9:00 am -

Happy Friday, readers! Today I wanted to bring to your attention a WONDERFUL resource for all of you brides and grooms who are looking to make your own musical mixes for your wedding reception. Hi-Fi Weddings provides artist and song listings for the music lovers to use for their special day!

Here’s what Hi-Fi Weddings creator Ashley has to say about her brain child: Here at Hi-Fi Weddings, we understand the importance of music at your wedding. From the song that you walk down the aisle to, until the very last dance we invite you to share your wedding playlist…or to gather ideas from other like-minded brides and grooms. And while we love music of all sounds and notes, we’d like to focus on those that want their wedding mix to be less “Top 40″ and more of music that is true to the soul.

From lovely wedding showcases to endless lists of wedding-perfect tunes, Hi-Fi Weddings is a resource that any DIY-obsessed bride and groom, or any music lover, for that matter, can afford to avoid!

Have a great weekend!

Our Wedding: I-Pod Wedding!

Written by Sara on January 7, 2010 – 9:00 am -

Happy Thursday, readers!

Throughout our wedding planning, J and I have agreed on one major part of our wedding reception: the dance. While we both always knew that, to us, a reception is not a reception without a dance, once we saw the pricing structure for today’s DJ services, we knew we’d have to be creative.

Enter: I-pod wedding.

For me, as a type-A personality and a control freak, having absolute control over the music played at our wedding is a MUST, and for the cost of renting speakers, we’ll have an instant DJ set-up that will A) be cost-effective for our budget; and B) reflect who we are as a couple, as all of the songs will be selected by us.

Today, dear readers, I’m writing to ask for your input. J and I are in the process of compiling a music playlist for our wedding reception. To make this list, we’ve made lists of songs that J and I have already downloaded to our Itunes software that we think might make “good wedding dance material.”

However, we’d LOVE to hear from you!

Here’s a few quick questions for you:

  1. What song(s) do you LOVE to dance to?
  2. What song(s) do you HATE and are sick of hearing at wedding dances?

One note:  There will be no YMCA, chicken dance, Shout!, Hokey Pokey, or Cha Cha Slide Song (”one hop this time!”). Please refrain from suggesting these songs (unless they happen to be your answer to question #2).

Thank you all for your input; please leave your comments below!
