Okay, the big day is almost here and I have one big problem, we dont have a dj and with everything goin on we cant find an affordable one. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can have music at my reception without the costs?

Hi Kedra,

Some couples have had success with hooking up an Ipod to some speakers(not sure how it's done)....or you can pre-program a CD player with with all your tunes, or hook-up a laptop with the tunes to some speakers.

See: DJ alternatives

...And welcome!

an IPOD with some decent sounding speakers.

where are you located? how much time do you have? have you checked into Craig's list ? you may still have a shot in finding someone for a decent price.

Welcome by the way!

Thanks! Nov. 8th is the big day and Im so excited! It's like this time passed by so fast!

awe!!! i think the IPOD would be a good thing to do because you can upload so many songs. and for certain parts of the reception where you have special request songs for bouquet toss, garter, etc you can designate someone to make sure it's on point. then let it play out for the night.

We like details here, what are your colors, theme, your gown design etc. let us in...

my colors are chocolate, ivory, champagne, and gold. I cant really say how my dress looks cause my FH is next to me (lol!). But my wedding is themed for fall. Its really easy planning a fall themed wedding during this time of year.

sounds nice, so far! Tell FH he has to back up this is ladies talk. lol. joking
cant wait to hear or see more details. loving the colors.

Yeah, he is hell bent on knowin what the dress looks like. We've already had an incident where I had to change dresses cause he saw the one I picked initially.

I Agree with the ladies when they say go with an ipod or a laptop. Good luck!

BTW Welcome to the board!

Get Uncle Bubbah or somebody.... Every family have an old skool music junkie with their own music collection that will be glad to stand in and show off there collection for free. LOL

I agree! Ipod or laptop! Make those playlists and let it run! Spend the money on renting speakers or something, get one of those savy men to hook it up and get ya dancin on!

I agree with the other ladies..IPOD or laptop...that is what a paid dj would use anyway!!

I agree with the othe ladies ipod or laptop would be the cheapest way out. Welcome to the Fabulous sisterhood!
