May we suggest…KARAOKE!?

We’ve seen a lot of retro trends make a comeback - Champagne Towers, Disco Balls, and the Karaoke After Party. They’re all a lot like old songs you haven’t heard in a while, that sound fresh again. And with karaoke, this is literally true lol

With an after party set up, you could do full karaoke experience with a KJ host - just like karaoke night at a dive bar in your local college town - simple and straightforward.

OR you can do karaoke with a DJ option if you’re not sure the karaoke thing would work with your group of guests.

Either way, the party becomes it’s own animal, taking its tone uniquely from your guests. Take a look at our karaoke page for inspiration:

DM us to let us know what you’re doing for your afterparty!

How do you start your planning process for music? How do you communicate your music key songs, likes and dislikes to your band or DJ?

All our couples get an online version of this, but all you have to do is DM us with the word “PLAN” and we’ll send over a free editable document for you to start organizing your thoughts on music. 

Then you can branch off and add Spotify/Apple Music playlist links to the document, or Youtube song links as inspiration. Share the form with your DJ, band or music provider - and even your wedding planner - to include cues and important songs in your wedding day timeline. Enjoy!

Can a DJ replace a wedding planner? Drumroll…No.

Most guests at a reception do see the DJ “running the show”. However, the DJ is just the “actor” in the big production and the real “director” is the cleverly un-seen wedding planner. The DJ’s announcements and the events that occur at a reception are planned months in advance between the planner and the wedding couple. So it may look like the DJ is calling the shots, but the planner is the real quarterback on game day.

But some couples DO plan their own weddings, without a planner on the day. In this case, you need a very experienced vendor TEAM to get through the ceremony and reception highlights smoothly. However, with this option, some of the behind the scenes tasks often get overlooked. In our experience, our honest recommendation is to try for a planner - or even a day-of coordinator. We work with some of the best in the business, and can offer recommendations. Please feel free to DM us.

In love? Want to shout it from the mountain top? We’ve got you, Santa Barbara style! 
After your wedding ceremony, surprise your guests with a trumpet-blaring Mariachi recessional to kick off the celebration. Then have the Mariachi lead your guests by foot through the city streets of Santa Barbara, Fiesta-style, to your nearby reception location - and have them play through cocktail hour. 
Some perfect Santa Barbara ceremony-reception combinations that work for a walkable Mariachi experience: Santa Barbara Courthouse to Villa & Vine
Santa Barbara Courthouse to 28Vic
Santa Barbara Courthouse to Riviera Mansion
Alice Keck Park to Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara
Alice Keck Park to Simpson House
Presidio Santa Barbara to El Paseo
Presidio Santa Barbara to Santa Barbara Historical Museum
Presidio Santa Barbara to Casa De La Guerra Check out our mariachi page for more: https://www.gavinroypresents.com/mariachis (This video was from Angelique and Ray’s wedding. Our mariachis led guests from the Courthouse to Villa and Vine).
