Using friends to perform services for your wedding, can save you lots of money. It can also cost you missed or ruined opportunities at your celebration.


The DJ was a friend of the groom. The  Vermont wedding seem very relaxed and low-key at the time. The groom was getting drinks for the DJ. And the DJ was really enjoying himself. The celebration progressed and the DJ was getting hammered. About the 2nd hour after dinner when the crowd was taking a break from dancing,  some bridesmaids went up to the DJ to request some songs.  The DJ began to make rude and crude remarks about the bridesmaids.  One bridesmaid got very insulted and went off to get her other half. He  showed up in a not so friendly mood and proceeded to jump across the table and grabbed and tussled with the DJ. After the incident the DJ decided not to play any more music. He left the room for the remainder of the celebration,  which came to a sudden end.  When planning a wedding, using friends to be the vendors at your wedding does not mean they can't do a good job for you. But if these people are celebrating along with you, things can get out of hand very quickly.
