Unless you are in "Society" (which I don't thiink any of us here would qualitfy for ) you probably won't see a "Black-Tie" wedding. It just doesn't happen much on here the left coast.

One could presume that the invite wasn't a "Black-Tie" type, otherwise, the OP would have been unneccessary.

I'm kinda offended that you don't think that I would have any "society" ties But seriously the invite was rather vague, they assumed everyone knew what the martin johnson house was without disclosing any further location information, had to look online for that, and don't remember if any of the attire info was on the RSVP which I returned weeks ago. But I will just go with the suit.

I've been to several black tie weddings, all here on SoCal.

I think a black-tie wedding would have a live band (nothing against DJs, of course)

That was my thought as well. In my experience (some of my extended family is pretty hoity toity, unfortunately) the more formal the wedding, the less likely they are to have a DJ. Personally, I <3 DJ's.

You're less than three DJs?!?

I always think the less than three thing too. I dj'd my own wedding. I simply made a list of songs, downloaded them, arranged them and put them on a cd timed to the reception. The song we danced to was played live on guitar, then the guitarist pressed play on the cd player. Fancy, eh?
