LET'S TALK WEDDINGS with Wedding Coordinator Katie Deterding

Say hello to Katie Deterding. Katie moved into the wedding space only a few years ago. In her first year, she was the Wedding Coordinator for 17 weddings! That is impressive. Katie is energetic, honest with her couples, and loves the details!

See, it wasn't just a few years ago that Katie was getting married to her husband Matt in 2022. She loved being involved with her special day. At the time, she was working for another company. But it was only a short time until Matt encouraged Katie to do it alone. And the rest is history.

Today, Katie shares her story and some practical, actionable tips that are helpful for new wedding coordinators as well as couples looking to get married. These tips will empower you to plan and execute your dream wedding.

So today, LTW gives you a perspective on weddings through the eyes of our second wedding coordinator on the program. This episode has so many nuggets of gold, so whether you are a vendor or a couple, it is a must-listen. I am excited to share this conversation with you and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

LET'S TALK WEDDINGS Solo Episode with Host Steve Buzzard
CEREMONY BREAKDOWN for the Wedding DJ

In my FIRST solo episode, I am excited to share a Ceremony Breakdown from the DJ's perspective. While all parts of the wedding share the importance of the overall experience, there is no doubt that most of the pressure for a DJ can be found while providing sound and music for a ceremony.

I give you a FULL breakdown,
* Pre-Ceremony Music
* Use of Special Songs
* Microphones during a Ceremony
* Quality of Sound
* Where to Set Up
* Preparing for Changes and Problems (they do occur).
* Working Together with the Wedding Coordinator and Officiant

So whether you are a couple checking in to see how it's done OR a DJ that is looking for some insight to help you, you have come to the right place. And for all my DJ's out there, please feel free to share your tips and tricks that would be helpful to share with others.

LET'S TALK WEDDINGS with Wedding Coordinator Hannah Baker

One essential person to hire for your wedding is a Wedding Coordinator. I am thrilled to introduce you to Hannah Baker of Sage Weddings & Events, a seasoned professional who has been a blessing to all of the couples that she has served in California (and now Idaho, where she and her husband reside).

How do I know Hannah is the best choice for your wedding? I've had the privilege of working alongside her at numerous weddings, and I even had the honor of being the DJ at her own wedding with husband Andrew in April 2023. In the wedding industry, building strong relationships with other vendors is crucial. When you work with Hannah, you're not just in good hands, you're in the hands of someone who truly cares about making your wedding day perfect!

I am excited for you to hear Hannah's story. How did she know that this is what she wanted to do? And then we break it down from the eyes of a Wedding Coordinator: being hired by a couple, before the wedding, on the day of the wedding, and yes ... even after the wedding. The tips and stories that Hannah shares are nuggets of gold.

LET'S TALK WEDDINGS with Podcast Host Matt Campbell

I am always looking for a great podcast. So, while looking for podcasts related to weddings, I came across the "Wedding Songs Podcast" with Matt Campbell. Let's just say that it inspired "Let's Talk Weddings!"

Discover the wealth of resources Matt Campbell offers beyond his podcast. His exceptional website is a treasure trove for Wedding DJs and couples, providing the perfect playlists for every aspect of a wedding. When I'm chosen as a couple's DJ, I direct them to two music sources: my Spotify playlist and Matt's invaluable myweddingsongs.com. Matt's dedication to this website is truly remarkable.

In a rare instance, Matt moves from host to guest as I get the opportunity to find out the story behind the story that is Matt Campbell. You are going to love Matt's story as he helps pull back the curtain of his early days and what led to the creation of the website and his podcast.

Matt, I am truly grateful for your significant contributions to the wedding music industry. Your work has not only inspired us but also enriched the experiences of countless couples on their special day.
It was an honor to have you on my podcast.
I appreciate the inspiration!

DJ JOE IS AMAZING!
He is kind, creative, passionate, easy to work with, and he's so much fun! He made the planning process easy with a questionnaire and he had so many recommendations for fun things to add to the night.
