And the DJ is...

Okay, so sorry again for the long wait, but wedding planning has slowed down a bit since we booked all of the big ticket vendors. This week I put the deposit/check in the mail for the DJ, but overall, not much has happened. I think I needed a break!

We decided to go with DJ Maxim Glikman because:

1. CULTURAL REASONS- My fiance and his family (and several friends) are from various areas in Eastern Europe, mostly Moldova and Ukraine, some Russia. Therefore, we needed a DJ who could not only play Russian pop/dance music (who had a collection), but could speak both English and Russian at the wedding to accommodate both languages/cultures.

DJ Maxim fit the bill because he specializes in MCing/DJing Russian/English/American weddings. He speaks Russian and English flawlessly and is willing to translate at the wedding reception.

2. FAMILY CONNECTION- My future mother-in-law has worked with his cousin for several years, and he is well known in the Baltimore Russian community.

3. PROFESSIONAL- We thought he was nice and also very organized and professional when we met with him.

4. REASONABLE & KIND- He helped us stay within our budget!

Anyway, he is our last "big" vendor, aside from catering---which is to be done later---don't ask, the linen rentals, and cake (which is also done a little later).

I will probably start looking at dresses in the next month or so. Anywho... I will try and post more often!
