Gold Coast Wedding Hire
When it comes to searching for the right hire options for your special day, don’t forget that 80% of your wedding day is spent at your reception. This means that the majority of your time should be going into planning for your reception. However, most bridal couples spend 80% of their time planning for the ceremony (which only makes up 20% of their day!). In the rest of this article, we will be sharing with you some of our experience and knowledge we have absorbed from years in the wedding industry.

What you should know …
This is your special day of days. You have probably seen it all in your mind the exact way you want everything to be. Bringing your ideas to reality is not always easy. When you are working with people, it is crucial that they take the time to first listen to what you have to say before giving their own advice or ideas. There are probably hundreds of wedding hire companies over the Gold Coast. The trick is in choosing the ones that can provide the right solution for your vision. Having a clear vision of your special day is important. For example, if you wanted a vintage feel to your special day, then you would want to hire vintage furniture to suit. When we meet our clients, we always ensure we sit and listen to their visions of their special day before we give our own recommendations or advise based on our years in the business.

The Bottom Line
The truth is, there are many options out there for the bridal couple when it comes to their special day. There are some companies that might be very cheap, but this sometimes can come at a greater cost through lack of quality. Some wedding hire companies probably overcharge for what they provide. The trick is in finding the right fit for your budget, your vision and your expectations. As industry professionals, we have first-hand experience the gambit of providers, from the lowest of quality to the best of the best. It doesn’t always come down to the fact that the most expensive is necessarily the best either!
The one way we recommend choosing the suppliers for your special day is by dealing only with suppliers that are a part of the most respected professional wedding industry membership body, the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (the ABIA). The Australian Bridal Industry Academy are the recognised leaders by the wedding industry in giving bridal couples the opportunity of rating suppliers. These scores are then announced annually with the overall percentile scores released to the public. The ABIA oversees all of the wedding industries, with only the best of best becoming awarded as “finalists” and awarded with a finalist award.
The most prestigious and coveted of all the awards by professional members of the ABIA, is the annual Winner placing. This is the company with the highest score compared to their industry counterparts. NikNat Entertainment were proud to be the recipient of the 2014 Winner placing for the Wedding DJ category officially making us the Best Wedding DJ!
We hope this article has given you some help in choosing the right hire suppliers for your special day. As long as they are at least members of the ABIA, this is a good start and showing that they are serious about their business. You can then visit the ABIA website to further drill-down and find the scores for each supplier based on the previous experience from other bridal couples. So when you are ready to hire a DJ for a wedding please consider NikNat Entertainment.
Wishing you all the very best for your special day!
Warmest wishes,
Nik Reeds
