![]() Some couples know EXACTLY which songs they want to hear on their wedding day. From their ceremony processional song to their grand exit song, they know them all. Some couples have no idea which direction to go in when it comes to music. And some might even ask, “What the heck is a grand exit song?” Good news: both scenarios are absolutely okay! Your DJ is here to help guide you through music choices and make any suggestions as needed. We offer our clients an entire library of songs choices for each special moment if you need a little help trying to decide. Want a super fun grand entrance song? Sweet. We have some BANGERS for you to choose from! Feelin’ some instrumentals for your guests while they find their seats for the ceremony? Excellent choice. We have just the vibe. Each DJ on our team holds killer mixing skills, and the music they play is customized to best fit you. 😎 If you’d like your guests to have a say in what the DJ is mixing, no problem! The DJs can also pass out song request cards when its time to get down on the dance floor. Oh, and don’t forget the songs that make you cringe – feel free to add those to your “Do Not Play” list. 😉 Moral of the story: there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to the music you choose to be played at YOUR wedding, but we are here to help with any ideas if you feel a little overwhelmed with finding the perfect songs for you on your most epic day. ♥ Sound Wave Events Boise Wedding DJ Services www.soundwaveevents.com celebrate@soundwaveevents.com 208-891-0094

Valentine’s Day weekend is upon us! In honor of this romantic holiday, we wanted to put together a list of a few of our DJs' favorite love songs for some different date vibes. (First comes the date, then comes the wedding, amirite?) But bonus: no significant other required to enjoy! Love is in season in EVERY season of life. ♥ So without further ado, we present to you our Valentine’s Day “menu” as it were.
And there you have it, friends. Which one would you choose? ♥ Sound Wave Events
Boise Wedding DJ Services www.soundwaveevents.com celebrate@soundwaveevents.com 208-891-0094 Something old, something new, something.....you know the rest. Something COOL: wedding traditions. Wedding traditions started waaaay back (so vintage) and there are some pretty epic traditions out there. Here at Sound Wave, we were lucky enough to help one of our awesome couples carry on a family tradition on their wedding day.

EMBRLook at that beauty! We love her a lot ♥ This is our standard booth and does what most people think of when they are looking for a photo booth for their wedding or event:
|
BOOMARRAYThis right here is the photo booth of the future. IT IS SO COOL! So here is the deal, this booth is fancy. Super fancy. You just be you and he will make some magic and send it to your phone! This booth captures a set of images of you (being silly hopefully) and will make a boomerang out of them and then text it to you. While this booth doesn't have live prints, guests get their photo booth memories digitally and can then share on social media or through text to other people. If you have ever wanted to star in your very own gif, we've got you covered! You still get a copy of all the digital boomerangs after the event, that super fun attendant we talked about, and the awesome props. |
Choosing Your Booth
As you are planning your event, you can choose the booth you think will be best suited for you and your guests. Here are some good questions to ask:
Contact us if you have any questions or want to chat more. :) :)
- What is the age demographic of my guests? Younger guests may enjoy the Boomarray better
- Do you want guests to have printed photos, digital photos or both? (digital = Boomarray / printed or both = EMBR)
- Do you need/want a green screen? (EMBR it is!)
- Are you trying to be more environmentally aware? (Bommarray has your back)
- Will you have WiFi access at your event? (needed for the Boomarray) (we can provide WiFi if there is good cell service)
Contact us if you have any questions or want to chat more. :) :)
You have dreamed about this time in your life for who knows how long - and it is here! The love of your life has given you their heart (and a ring!) and you couldn't be happier (cue unicorns and glitter bombs). Time for wedding planning (cue fire breathing dragons). Such a happy time....and can also be a bit of a stressful time too.
Over the years we have talked to HUNDREDS of Bride's who share their experiences in wedding planning. It seems that everyone in their life has an opinion and all the advice for all the things. Sometimes details can get overwhelming. The budget is impossible to stick to. There is a lot to do. Too many decisions. It can get stressful. How can all of this equate to a picture perfect day full for fun and cherished memories? We are going to tell you how RIGHT NOW.
There is one piece of advice (that is actually a two part piece of advice) that we wish we could tell every.single.bride in Boise. And everywhere. It is this.......

Yep. You heard that right (we know you heard it - haha!).
LET IT GO.
Well not right now. Don't let it go in the middle of your planning - at least not all the way!
Here is our advice:
The night before your wedding, let it go. Let all the worries, the expectations, the annoying things, the to do items, the stress GO. Wave goodbye as it leaves. This right here is what is going to help you have a wonderfully (im)perfect wedding day. We PROMISE you that things are not going to go 100% as you planned them. Something (or things) is going to go awry. Someone is going to get too drunk. Your MIL will make a stupid comment. Your ring bearer will refuse to wear his bow tie. Dinner will be late. And you know what? IT IS OKAY. It is all okay. Take a deep breath because if you have let it go before it happens, it is all just part of the fun.
This, my friends, is your secret to having the perfect wedding day: Accept things as they are and HAVE THE BEST FREAKING TIME ANYWAYS.
Part 2 of this advice: make sure you have a great vendor team. It is so much easier to "let it go" when you know you have a team working together to make sure things go (nearly) perfect. Top notch vendors will step in to help with things that have nothing to do with their job, they will lend a listening ear (or sewing kit), and they will handle situations before you even knew they happened.
How do you get the best vendors?
1. Read reviews - past brides will tell you what's up
2. Talk to your other vendors - the good ones know the other good ones ;)
And that is that. That is our top wedding advice for every person who ever needed to know. Now go....and let it go :)

Let's be honest, who hasn't daydreamed at least once in their life about being a DJ? Just look how cool of a gig it is!
Curious if you have what it takes? Take our quiz below to see if you are cut out to have one of the most fun professions that has ever existed. If you get a high score, you just may need to consider a new career. (Unless you're already a DJ. In that case - keep up the good work, friend.)
All of us here at Sound Wave are rooting for you!

Looking for an epic way to say goodbye to your loving wedding guests? We have a few fun ideas for you! Whether you want to make an impression, stay until the very last moment, or sneak away without being noticed, we think these are some great ways for you to end the night!
Say Goodbye With Sparklers!
Sparklers are elegant and fun for everyone. Not to mention the amazing pictures they make! Let your guests create a sparkler tunnel and cheer you on!
Leave in a Stylish Getaway Car
Maybe you're that introvert that wants to peace out without being noticed. Why not leave in a car that makes you look like a celebrity escaping the paparazzi? A twist on this exit: Actually pretend you are celebrities leaving the Oscars and wave goodbye to your fans as you exit on a red carpet!
Get Your Rave On
Gear up your guests and yourself with glow sticks and turn down the lights. Put on an electronic hit and have everyone rave while you dance your way out the door!
Leave In Something Other Than a Car
Are you near a body of water? Maybe leave in a kayak, canoe, or on some floaties. On land? Leave on bikes, scooters, razors, or roller blades!
Stay Until The End
There are some parties you wish would never end. Instead of having a grand exit, why not dance with all of your guests until closing time? Maybe even have your DJ play a an epic night-ender song that you and all of your closest people know and love.
K bye.
Here at Sound Wave, we pride ourselves on understanding each of our couples' dreams for their wedding. If any of your dreams include these songs on this list, then please call our client manager Carley at 208-891-0094 and she will help you reevaluate your life goals. 😂
5. Single Ladies: Beyonce - For the Bouquet Toss
Don't get me wrong - I love the Queen Bee 🐝 just as much as every human on the planet - because she is perfection and can do no wrong. BUT there are so many other better options to play from. Playing this for a bouquet toss is just lazy on your DJ's part and will get eye rolls from all of the single ladies.
4. Thinking Out Loud: Ed Sheeran - For the First Dance
Okay - here is the deal. I understand this may be controversial, but hear me out. A first dance song should be personal and unique to each couple. We all have a song that reminds us of the love we share with that special person in our life - if that song happens to be Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, then that is 100% okay. But if it's chosen because that HAS TO BE the first dance song, then I OBJECT.
3. Happy: Pharrell Williams - Just in general
I would say if you are about 3' 4" tall and working under the direction of a man named Gru, then I totally understand playing Happy by Pharrell Williams. In most other cases, just don't.
2. YMCA - During a dance party
Some people like to go all out and dress like The Village People. To those humans, I salute you and say carry on and show us your choreographed spelling of Y M C A. Every one else should go to the DJ and politely say, "no thanks."
1. Chicken Dance - ever
It's just not a good idea.
Hope this helps you chuckle a little as you head into your weekend! Much love to all music, and hopefully we didn't ruffle too many feathers. (:
