Peter Merkle of Chicago Wedding DJs gives his couples the opportunity to come into the studio prior to the wedding and record themselves talking about their feelings for each other. He takes the sound bites and edits them into the first dance song for a truly unique take. “There’s nothing better than hearing the sweet, funny, sassy, heartfelt comments as a bride and groom dance their first dance together,” he says. And the guests love it, too. “Guests will burst out laughing to the funny stuff,” Merkle says. “They’ll shed a tear and smile for the romantic expressions. And most of all, they’ll have this look of awe because we’ve taken what we can sometimes be a standard moment and made it something extraordinary.”
What’s so special about this is the magic that happens once I put the edit together. But don’t be fooled by DJ services that SAY they can do this. This is an advanced training that we took to understand how to get the best out of each step in the process. Magic!
Debi Lilly, the “Chief Eventeur” at Chicago-based A Perfect Event also had a great tip. See her comment from her expertise at #3.
