In order to help my clients with their wedding planning, I am uploading actual wedding planners from wedding that I have DJ’ed. These are stripped of the guests names but they should definitely help.
This one is from a wedding where I DJ’ed the bride and groom’s ceremony and reception. It was definitely a success! Check out Matt’s review!.
