Hi ladies....sooo glad to see you all here! My FH is Italian and we are currently searching for a DJ. We are going to have both American and Greek. More American and of course I want someone who knows Greek music well, so that way I don't have to worry about putting a cd of songs together. Does anyone have a Greek American DJ they can recommend?? I'm going to meet with Bravo Sounds on Monday. Has anyone heard anything about them? Thanks!
sorry, we are using the DJ that our band gives us (Powerstation)

Hi everyone...
I'm not Greek, but my fiance is, and we're going to be getting married at St. Paraskevi in Greenlawn...has anyone been married there or is going to get married there that can clue me in to the process?
Thanks, I appreciate it 
Hey,
I'm not Greek, but marrying a Greek too and we are getting married at St. Paraskevi. We met with Father Dimitrios and he is so nice and Maria has been so helpful too. After you book the date with them, they will call you about 4-6 months before your wedding to schedule you in for a wedding seminar and they go over everything then. I'm really excited about the whole ceremony.

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*
I have a question about Greek music. We wanted to play a couple of Greek songs, but FH doesn't know any of his head and neither does his mom. I have no clue either. Can anyone recommend a couple of good dance Greek songs that is commonly played at weddings?
TIA

are you looking for traditional greek dance songs (like kalamatiano and syrto)? or more contemporary tsifteteli-style songs? If you look at some of the previous pages of this thread, you'll see a discussion about Greek songs.

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*
I love this thread. It really helped me with a lot of questions. Especially since I'm Methodist marrying a Greek, I had no clue about anything.
Thanks Ladies!!! I can't believe my wedding is next week. I am so excited about the ceremony!!!

Congrats!!! I'm getting married there next year...I can't wait to see pics!
I've been going crazy trying to find pics of other ceremonies/outside church pics there, since there's no stairs. I'm really curious to see the courtyard and how it photographs.
Good Luck!!!

I actually made my own favors. I took all the recipes that I got from our shower and made up a friends/family recipe book and then Stephanie bought purple boxes and filled each one with the recipe book and decorated them beautifully. I will post pictures of them when I get a chance. She does wonderful work.

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*
Ladies, question about the church.
My koumbara is a member of another church, yet my church is asking for a $100 "donation" from her. When I called to ask about this, I was given a big story about how they need money to pay the priest's salary and other expenses...does that sound greedy to anyone??

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*
I agree it sound greedy. My church (Holy trinity) just put a big note in the bulletin saying if people dont start contributing more..they will be in big trouble. I think church is the first place alot of people cut...and they are hurting too.
