Guide to Wedding Traditions

Many of the traditions that make up the contemporary wedding date back to before writing; others are far more recent than you might think. We owe most of our traditions to a relatively few groups including the Sumerians, Romans and British, but some come from far around the world and others from right here at home. Ever wondered where they come from and why we still do them? The truth will surprise you!

Raleigh Wedding DJ Price

Raleigh Wedding DJ Price & Types I have a question for you: Are you looking at the DJ as an experience or as a commodity?

Abridged History of DJing

In the 9th century (about 1300 years ago) The Banu Musa brothers in Baghdad invented an automatic organ and flute player that played a lot like a player piano or music box (invented in 1796). The player piano used paper scrolls in 1876. Did that count as DJing? I would argue that they were, because they were using pre-recorded music to entertain an audience. While the techniques have definitely improved since then, the rules are still the same - make people dance!

Applause!
