My beautiful sister getting engaged on
December 6, 2016 in NYC

EEEK your love popped the big question in the sweetest of ways and you were totes surprised! You have a million zillion questions! 7 thoughts racing through your head! And you can NOT wait any longer to share the news with you family and friends! Girlfriend, please let me stop you right there. We know you are excited and we are so excited for you but, please, let us save you the biggest headache and avoid the stress that is sure to come your way if you act too fast!

We get that you want to tell your closest family and friends and share the news via social media and you should.  This is such an over the moon, crazy exciting time for you. However, this is also a time that you should bask in the excitement and joy.

We want to make sure you a prepared for what’s going happen next. The questions, oh the questions! You will feel blindsided with and cause you to think “OMG what do I do? I have no idea, should I think about this? Do I have to answer this now?!” That then causes you to blurt out answers that you didn’t fully think through. Then you’ll have to go back and do damage control or forever hold your peace!

So we put together the survival guide of the epic three questions you are sure to be asked and how to answer them.

Question one: So when’s the big day!?

Epic Answer: We are actually really excited to just enjoy this exciting time of being engaged so we have decided to enjoy this time and start thinking of all the fun details after our engagement party!

Question two: So who’s going to be in your bridal party?!

Epic Answer: We actually are not 100% set on having a bridal party.  We really have to think about how we want the day to look and make sure we are both comfortable and have the same vision.

Question three: Am I invited?!

Epic Answer: Honestly we are most likely going to be paying for all of this on our own so we really have to sit down and crunch numbers to see what is actually feasible. I would love to have everyone there but I’m sure if we can’t, we will have a BBQ or something that’s more laid back to enjoy with co-workers and friends to celebrate.

Fave Fridays: A GoodTime DJ's

Yay it’s Friday!

And who doesn't love a Friday?! So what better way then to share a vendor with all of you that we absolutely love! If you don't know this company already they are a must! Let me introduce you to Amanda Comtois Customer Service & Office Manager at A GoodTime DJ's . It's true when they say a DJ can make or break your wedding so you want to be sure you pick the one that fits you and your needs the best. I swear Amanda never sleeps!  She is there whenever you need her to answer any questions you might have and it's always with a smile! She takes the time to get to know her clients; their budgets, needs, and styles and educates you on what would be best for your big day. 

How long have you been in the business and/or with the company?
Wedding & Event Services since 1982, I have been with the company almost 5 years

Tell us all about your business/ company:
We provide DJ's, uplighting, gobo's, outdoor sound systems, and much more! We strive to make every event or

wedding unique to the clients vision and our customer service is outstanding!

Tell us what you love most about working on weddings:
I LOVE helping clients when they call in the early stages of planning all the way up to the week of their special day! Some couples know exactly what they want and others are not so sure of all the details that go into making a wedding day magical. I love answering all their questions to help them understand how to make everything run smoothly with timely, working with wedding planners and coordinators, and locations of individual services booked at each venue. Our DJ's are the on site professionals that make their wedding day visions come true!

Do you have a fave wedding that stands out to you?
My wedding with this company 7-21-12! What an amazing experience through the reservation process of hiring a DJ and the classic photo booth from Wicked Fun Photo Booth! Everything went so perfect with DJ Kelly, we could not have asked for a more amazing wedding day! I started working for A GoodTime DJ's in August of 2012 what a FUN company to be part of & most of all I LOVE MY JOB!


What is your fave trend right now?
No favorite trend personally! So I would answer any trend that our clients or couples want to have is perfect with us!

What's one thing you wish couples understood about your services/ products?
Customer service, quality of our services provided at events & following up with our clients after their event, along with our great pricing is AWESOME!
Reserving DJ services for any event big or small should be done through a professional DJ company rather than an individual person. I have helped many couples/clients in panic mode book one of our DJ last minute because the DJ they had hired wouldn't return calls or had cancelled on them last minute.

Anything else you want to add?
Contact us anytime! I look forward to helping you with any event planning! 

When you book more than one service with us, we will give you a free hour of overtime up to $200 savings. when you mention KAGEMfave.

Mondays Are About ME!

Today kicks off my Birthday Week! Whoop Whoop! On Saturday, I will be blowing out 27 candles on my cake! WHAT?! How did this happen where has all the time gone?! It truly does fly by when you're having fun!

I am constantly trying to be the best me that I can be and have been reflecting a ton on my journey to 27 in the past few weeks. As I go into this next year of my life, I truly feel blessed and so thankful for all that life has shown me...the good, the bad, and the ugly. Because everything I have gone through, experienced, and seen has made me the person I am today and for that I am thankful.

What better way to start off my birthday week then to also officially kick off wedding season for us here at KAGEM?! We start busily working on all the final details for our upcoming weddings. Today, I got online and was greeted by this lovely review left by the sweetest bride, Rhisa ( you can see her stunning wedding here!), it gave my day a positive start that everyone benefits from on a Monday!  

So get excited! There is a lot of exciting stuff that will be popping up on here and over on insta as we go through this exciting season. I can't wait to share all the fun stuff we have planned for this season along with this journey through my 27th year with you!

Psst...I’m an adventure seeker so leave me some comments on what I should try out during this next year and I will document it when/if I can make it happen!
