How Many DJ's Write Wedding Planning Books?

 ... possibly just one! Bill Cox has worked 2,500+ weddings as a wedding DJ in Houston, Texas and he has worked alongside Janie Franz to create two of the most comprehensive wedding planning books available to brides-to-be; Bill and Janie put every tip, trick, and trade secret they could into these two books.





Reader Review:

"This is one of the must-have books for anyone planning a wedding ceremony. Many brides might feel that they know what they are doing or have sisters, aunts, friends that swear they know everything; I was one of those brides before I read this book. As someone who has a lot of history in this business, (a wedding DJ who has attended 2,500 events), this author has really opened my eyes to many things that I would have never thought about. This author has experience with wedding ceremonies of all types and offers simple guidance and wonderful advice. I highly recommend reading this book or gifting it to someone who is preparing to get married."

 

The Ultimate Wedding Ceremony Book and The Ultimate Wedding Reception Book have become consumer favorites when it comes to learning more about weddings, and what to expect on the special day. Bill, believes that his books shed light on what has become over two-thousand wedding experiences. As one of the only publishing DJ’s, Bill has compiled the two books with every tip, trick and trade secret that he and Janie have come across through their careers. More often than not, many people chose to ignore the advice of professionals and instead listen to the uninformed friend, cousin, or co-worker. These two book publications provide a comprehensive resource for people who are planning a wedding, and want to get both the reception and ceremony spot on and perfect!


You can purchase these books digitally for less than $4 to help you get started with planning your wedding or purchase a paper copy to give as a gift to the bride-to-be in your life! To purchase these books or to contact Bill click HERE!
