Every bridal show we do seems to go better and better. A long night before and lots of rain slowed us down a little bit and we were still putting the finishing touches on our booth when brides showed up, but it all worked out. The slideshow we worked so hard on came out awesome and it was a great addition to our booth. We got to meet some wonderful couples and booked a few shows for next year that we are really excited about doing (including one on the 4th of July with fireworks, how cool is that!!!). It was also a great opportunity to network with other vendors. We set up some reciprocal links with some really talented people and we hope to start referring customers back and forth.
Now that its over with, we are winding down from a busy wedding season and the house is a mess! Everything is everywhere and hopefully we can take the time this winter to get caught up and organized in preperation for what will be a very busy season next year
If you came to visit us, please send us a message! We really did enjoy meeting and talking with all the wonderful couples and families and we hope that some of you will invite us to be a part of your special day!

Go Cougars!!!
Like I said before, it was a busy weekend! While Kelly did a wedding dance, Kristen played for the Homecoming Dance at USF. Even though it was raining quite a bit, there was a great turnout and the kids had a lot of fun. There was a theme, but we couldn't quite figure out what it was. Something about Mardi Gras and 80's prom dresses. The only glitch came when the microphone decided not to work, luckily I didn't have anything worth saying anyways! It was the debut of our second system and the end of a lot of work to get it all together and running. Hopefully they were happy and will have us back again, we had a lot of fun ourselves (all except for schlepping all the equipment out to our cars in the rain!).
Now that we have a second system, its time to start looking for another DJ who is just as talented and professinal as Kelly. We have heard some horror stories and I am afriad it might not be easy to find the kind of person we are looking for. We know that no one will care as much as we do, but hopefully we can find someone who cares almost as much. The extra money we could make is not as important as making sure every show we put our name on is fun, professional, and completely exceptional, and that every couple is happy.

Congratulations Shannie and Chad!
It was quite a busy weekend for us! We helped Shannie and Chad celebrate their marriage on Saturday at the Holiday Inn City Center, a venue we had never played before. They are a lovely couple and friends of ours, so we were honored to be included. Even though it rained all night, everyone stuck around and had a great time. The funniest part of the evening came when Chad had to crawl across the room to Shannie for the garter toss. It was so funny that one of his groomsmen paid him $80 to do it again! That is definitely a first for us.
Also a first for us was a cd player decided to malfunction (one side would not read cd's, we kind of need both sides to work!) The very nice people at Guitar Cebter stayed open late for us so we could pick up another one to switch out during the dollar dance (Kelly is very sneaky). Things could have been worse, but we managed to get everything under control. The most aggrivating part of it was that CD player just came back from being serviced, so Numark is going to hear an earful from us!

See you on Sunday!
This Sunday we will be making our first appearance at the Black Tie Bridal Show at the Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls. It is one of the largest Bridal planning event in the area and we are very excited to take part! We hope you will stop by and talk to us personally!
Congratulations Nathan and Dani!
Its been a busy week so I haven't had time to update the blog, but last Saturday we made the short trip to Brandon for a reception at Tailgator's, a venue we have played several times. I absolutely loved their color scheme (black and hot pink, very fun and sophistocated) and we had a great time entertaining Dani, Nathan and their friends. They asked us to do a party starter we had never heard of before, called a 'broom dance'. We weren't sure how it would turn out, but it ended up being a lot of fun, kind of like musical chairs. We have to brainstorm how to tweak it just a little but we are definitely going to add it to our party starters (once we get a broom). We have pictures from the dance posted here: http://picasaweb.google.com/kristen.cline/DaniAndNathanFinney
