What is the LAST thing your guests will be doing? Hands up if you think the answer is “admiring the flowers”, or “enjoying the personalised hand made individually named chocolates left at each seat”, or even”taking a long last look a the chair covers”.
The question is “What is the LAST thing your guests will be doing?”. The answer: LEAVING. Now consider why they’re leaving. Is it late, closing time, and they’re wishing the venue went all night because they’re having so much fun? Or are they wishing the DJ wasn’t so loud, the friend’s large music collection wasn’t 99% Pink Floyd or Snoop Dog, or that your downloaded play list had a little more direction instead of a stop-start feel with tempos all over the place….?
This isn’t to say that going with a less experienced DJ or DIY music will be a disaster. In many cases it works just fine. However, if it isn’t so fine, it will stand out for the wrong reasons.
If the entertainment is lacking, then all the time and effort and financial input you put into the little details like the décor and the likes will be largely wasted.
Will guests leave because they don’t like the flowers or chair covers?
