@lovewildlyphotography capturing Nic & Scott March 2021. ⁠ ⁠ It felt so good to celebrate with these legends after they had to postpone for a year due to covid kicking in right on their wedding date in 2020.⁠ ⁠ It's been a wild ride with reschedules, and the madness does continue unfortunately. It's hard to know what to do when we get an enquiry from an amazing potential wedding friend, who has family overseas. We want to be part of the big day but continuing to reschedule means missing out on Saturday nights we could spend with other couples who have local friends and family. Our hearts want to help but unfortunately we are a small business that cannot readily absorb these costs due to loss of income. ⁠ ⁠ If you have family overseas - they are surely going to be visiting for at least a week, perhaps you could have a Thursday wedding, or a Sunday? It gives you much longer to hang out with everyone, a whole weekend of partying rather than just the usual day and a half!⁠ ⁠ We held our wedding on a Thursday, it was 3 days of amazing time spent with our loved ones and boy were we were tired at the end - but our hearts were so full. It was amazing. I would recommend that to ANYONE!⁠ ⁠ There is much less pressure in booking the suppliers you want - and should borders not be open, then you can move to another school night with much less fuss.⁠ Food for thought.... ⁠ ⁠ Either way, do get in touch. We are a group of three rad DJs, and hopefully soon we will be updating you with the news of our little team growing! Watch this space!⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for our CONTACT page, hit us up with some wedding details 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 ⁠ We can send you a quote for consideration

CANAPES / PRE RECEPTION / POST CEREMONY⁠ ⁠ This time of day is so delightful. Unfortunately you will probably miss it as you hang with your bridal squad and nick off for photos somewhere gorgeous. But, like everything wedding (as I'm sure you are discovering) its not about you! Its about creating the experience for your guests, right? 😆⁠ ⁠ So, how can we help? We have an amazing Canapes Spotify playlist we can run for you at this time. Or often we curate something to fit the exact vibe and our clients. Picture that acoustic afternoon sunset mood, without sounding like so much Jack Johnson and Angus and Julia Stone that you feel like it's 2009.⁠ ⁠ Alternatively let us help you find a live musician to suit. What we do is email our local buddies (that we know have a great song list, persona and are well priced), and we CC you in and get them to reply back to you with their availability and details. We can then discuss with you and help you make the right choice. No booking fee or cream taken off the top - we just hook you up because once you are a client of South Sound Events, you are part of the family!⁠ ⁠ @shannon_stent_images⁠ @eaglebayweddings

Are you worried about speeches that go on for too long? ⁠ From experience I can tell you that 80% of the time, EVERYONE in the room really enjoys the speeches. ⁠ ⁠ Sure 20% of the time you get someone head up to the microphone with nothing prepared, no prompt cards and the warning bells start ringing.. and they prattle on repeating themselves 🙈 ⁠ ⁠ But if your family and friends have a good head on their shoulders (and if you book with us you're obviously pretty smart and therefore hang out with other clever people right), then they are going to say lovely funny entertaining things, and you are really going to enjoy it!⁠ ⁠ We love listening to the speeches. 🎤 ⁠ Its so important to have a quality reliable wireless microphone and great PA gear so that everyone can comfortably hear without straining. Make sure they have full drinks and have had a chance to go to the bathroom before we begin, and BAM - you got yourself some good times!⁠ ⁠ SOUTH SOUND EVENTS got you covered 🤩⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @freedomgarveyphotographer 📸

What a day for it! Emma & Kale ❤️ @thetillerfarm with @djtomdrummond

First Dance song choice. . . .⁠ Just a song that you both feel relaxed about. The first dance is about having a moment together for a cuddle and a bit of movement while your guests take a moment to enjoy being part of your love bubble. The lyrics don't matter too much, it's about the moment. The song doesn't matter too much - just let it be something that you BOTH like, not just one persons choice. That way you maximise the vibes, because it's all about those feels! ⁠ EAGLE BAY BREWING CO ⁠ with Hayley & Ben⁠ and Shannon and Jayde Stent on the 📷⁠ @shannonstentimages ⁠ ⁠ Link In Bio for some first dance song ideas ⁠ ....or you can Google it (if you want to gag at most of the suggestions) 😆

Should be a fun night tonight! 🤣❤️🔥⭐️ @bakethecakemr @eventswillsdomain @kris_buckle @30th_century_man @jemilah_wright_celebrant @kellyharwoodphotography @blushandbloom_sw

When we brainstorm your wedding together in our fact-finding video call (before sending your quote) we are very interested in timing, especially what time sunset is. The timing for your ceremony, pre-ceremony entertainment, food service - everything - is dependant on the sunset and what your photographer has planned with you. Are you going offsite or staying onsite? Will you be heading out to the beach and gone for 2 hours? No problem, but lets all have a clear plan so your guests aren't left waiting with nothing to do - we can book you an amazing live performer 🎤 to lift that vibe to next level - and ensure that all the beautiful food you have spent money on is going to be served at its best.⁠ ⁠ At South Sound Events we don't just play music as required. We want your wedding day to be the best possible experience for your guests from the moment they arrive until the bus picks them up at the end. The best way to have a relaxed wedding is with a solid plan that the whole team is on board with.⁠ ⁠ Let us share our experience with you, to find the timing that is the best fit for your priorities.⁠ ⁠ How good is a March sunset though!!! ⁠ 📷 by @shannon_stent_images 🤩
