Welcome to the October 2012 edition of Wedding Music News. We appreciate and value your subscription to our free monthly eNewsletter designed to help brides and grooms prepare for their wedding day. In this month's edition we have a new featured article, the first of a two part mini-series inside the larger planning series "After the Engagement but before You Say I Do!" as well as featured services, artists and the monthly special offer from The Wedding Music Planner team.

Planning and preparation for your wedding day is a vitally important factor that cannot be overemphasized. Not only will it save you time in long run but it can also save you stress and MONEY! Our feature article for this month, "Create a Wedding Timeline - Part One" is a suggested timeline of some of the things that normally get planned by a couple from a year before the wedding day to the six month mark.

One of the first items that needs to be planned by the couple is the engagement party. This month we feature our engagement party music services. Have a live band or disc-jockey entertain your guests throughout the evening to overcome the problematic play-list tamperer who seems to exist at every function.

Our planning and preparation theme continues with this exclusive deal for people wanting PA hire with no music entertainment for their wedding celebrations. Book your PA hire and receive a 20% discount on hiring costs when the booking is made prior to the 31st of October and when no entertainment acts or operator is required for the event. For those couples looking to use pre-recorded playlist music throughout the evening this is a great deal to give you some additional saving.

Project Rosco are our featured artists for the month of October. This jazz band / Disc-Jockey combination is the complete entertainment pacakge for a wedding reception with live music in the early evening before a disc-jockey gets the dance floor moving in the latter parts of the evening.

Project Rosco have entertained a a number of weddings and corporate events, more information, an example repertoire and booking details can all be found by viewing their full profile on our website.

Rebecca Dugmore and Curtis Harmer celebrated their wedding ceremony on the 21st of January 2012 at Sandalford winery.

Jazz Quartet and Disc-Jockey Combo.

Rebecca Dugmore contacted The Wedding Music Planner in mid September 2011 looking for music options for their ceremony and also the pre-reception canapes and drinks. Rebecca wanted an ensemble for the reception that had the versatility to play a mixture of classical and traditional style songs with some more modern tunes as well to compliment the musical tastes of both herself and Curtis.
