When sitting down with a friend over lunch the other day, she asked the question: “Does anybody even use a DJ for weddings anymore?” I hadn’t really even thought about it as I used a DJ for my own wedding and didn’t really consider not having one or other options. To figure out why a couple should hire a DJ, Ramsey Renno, owner of Milwaukee Airwaves, had some great insight.

Budget Wedding Centerpieces

We did double duty for the wedding rehearsal and reception decorations. We purchased rose bunches from Pick’n Save and vases from TJ Maxx for decorations at the rehearsal dinner. Then we used the same vases for the wedding bouquets at the reception. We then removed the rose petals the next day to use as part of the centerpieces on each table.

Weddings at the The Astor Hotel

We had our wedding reception at the Astor Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. The Astor has a ballroom that’s filled with old world charm and we loved it. We didn’t do a sit down dinner, but instead did a cocktail recpetion where the food was served in stations and our guests could eat whenever they wanted. This made the reception more social and gave us more time to sociallize with our guests.
