Hi, so I know there have been lots of threads about using a DJ instead of DIY(IPOD) weddings. I agreen with getting a DJ for a large reception. However, has anyone experience IPOD weddings or had one that went well. I am having a DW and am expecting less than 30 guests, all of which are close family and friends. I originally was going to get the huge sound system they offer at the resort but it is $200/hr and I feel like that is ridiculous. So, then I was thinking of taking a nice portable speaker (Bose or Beats) and doing the music on that. Now I am worried about the announcements and everything for the first dances. The DJ is over $1000 for the reception and that seems like a huge expense for 30 people who probably don't care. I think my friends will dance with me regardless of having a DJ. I would really appreciate tips or experiences with IPOD weddings. Thanks!
