Coffee and Sweets

End your wedding reception with a hot cup of coffee with a stirrer complete with a tiny doughnut hole on a skewer with your wedding date on it. Put the coffee in a up that has your names and wedding date on the side. The perfect accent for the end of a perfect day. Not only that, if your guests are a little tired for that drive home or back to the hotel, this will perk them up and keep them alert for the ride. 

Looking for more creative photos? Photos that take the mundane parts of your reception and turn them into memories? Call Harwell Photography and talk to them about shooting your wedding day.

Hiring Your DJ, Photographer and Videographer

We had the opportunity to attend a showcase put on by The Pros at Dave and Buster's in Philadelphia last week.  It was a great opportunity to talk to and interview multiple photographers, videographers and see some of their DJs at work.  While we didn't find any spectacular photographers, we were impressed with their DJs.  Check their web site, http://www.thepros.com/ to find locations for their next showcase in your area. 

Although the company started in Philadelphia, they are now nationwide so there may be a showcase in your city.  You have to opportunity to put a deposit down to reserve their pros on the spot if they aren't already booked for your date. Come prepared to put down a deposit if you think you might find a 'must have' DJ, photographer or videographer.  The company is owned by the Tessler family and the presentation by one of the owners was excellent.  They seem well versed on the wants and needs of brides and grooms on their special day.  They consistently wiin 'best of'' awards from sites like The Knot which tells you something about what brides think of their services.  Visit their web site today and investigate their packages, their services and get a feel for the company.  I have to say we were impressed.  Congrats to The Pros for putting on a great showcase!
