· Prior to your wedding, you will meet the actual DJ who will be performing at your wedding. She/he will walk you through every phase of the wedding and you and your DJ will plan the day exactly how you want. You not only will go over all the details for your wedding, but you will get to know each other personally which builds the trust you will have in him the day of your wedding.

· Your DJ as your Reception Coordinator
Your DJ will coach your bridal party on how to use microphones, get your parents for all the special events, coordinate your itinerary with the venue, photographer, etc. This is a small sample of the countless activities we do behind the scenes to ensure your wedding flows smoothly from beginning to end.

· Your DJ as your Music Programmer
The activity most traditionally associated with a DJ. We always bring plenty of music spanning from the 40’s to the latest dance hits. Your friends and relatives of all ages will hear songs that will entice them out to the dance floor. Our DJs constantly “read” the crowd to create and sustain energy.

· Your DJ as your Master of Ceremonies
It is not by accident that our DJs say names correctly and know all the nuances of your family and friends. We learn this through your meeting with your DJ which will then ensure your guests see a polished and professional EMCEE.

· Your DJ as your Entertainer
You come first and you decide the level of interaction. We can vary our style from traditional music to leading of interactive dances. We have over 10 years experience in reading crowds and understanding how to guide and direct them to keep the dance floor packed all night long!

*AFTER THE VOWS...

· 72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.

· Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.

· During wedding planning, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities. Within one week after their reception, 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!

· When asked 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.

· 65% of all couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding, said, if they had it to do over again, they would have chosen a disc jockey.

Other Items to Note:
Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.

The DJ you select will be taking on the responsibility of over 80% of the success of your party and often gets paid less than 3% of the total budget (based on the average $25,000.00 Wedding, 3% would equal $750.00), yet if the DJ is a poor performer or worse, doesn't show up, your entire investment is wasted, not just that 3%.

Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to $3,500.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.

A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
