Now it's time to choose your Entertainer / Emcee...You've come to the right place.

• Exciting and fun without being loud and overbearing
  
• Professionalism
  
• Packed dance floors
  
• Seamless, timeless parties
  
• Limitless pre-planning
  

Allow Us To Help You!
So you may still have to look for wedding attire, select your bridesmaids and groomsmen, pick out a honeymoon destination, choose your photographer, decide who's providing the flowers and transportation, what kind of cake, who you'll use as the caterer and who will be performing the wedding, but all of that means nothing versus who you choose to handle the entertainment. It has been stated that the entertainment at your reception is 80% of the success.
Who are you going to blame if your wonderful day ends up an entertaining flop?... US! Your entertainment.
We assume this task on a full-time basis.
So let's plan the perfect party together using your dreams of what your wedding reception is and our professionalism. We work with you to bring your dreams and vision to reality.
There is no need for you to feel stressed and overwhelmed anymore. Planning is easy and you'll find that our approach is actually calming. We provide step by step planning forms as well as an online planner is available at no additional charge. Unlimited consulations to make us both feel comfortable with what and how we plan.


The Wedding Day Process
We only get married once... We cannot convey to you enough how much we appreciate the importance of good wedding reception service. Believe me...With our wedding experience and continuous training, you know we've had our share of learning situations just like any professional.


We work with your entire wedding vendor team to ensure your party flows effortlessly. Our DJ/MC will be the one who will pack your dance floor, making announcements exactly when they should, creating the excitement without being loud and overbearing, making sure that your reception will be a great and memorable affair.

As you probably are already aware in talking with your friends and family that one thing that everyone remembers is how good or not good was the DJ at the reception. Not the food, not the invitations but the entertainment. If your entertainment is lacking and nobody is on the dance floor, people will end up leaving. Now you've just wasted money at one of the most important days of your life. This is how important my job is.


How Does This Sound To You?
Thru detailed discussions, unlimited consulations, online event planning, we will create a personalized affair tailored for your wedding.

This will give you an idea what happens typically.

• The event might start off with your guests arriving at your venue after witnessing an emotional and beautiful ceremony
  

• The music in the room is upbeat, yet light and jazzy, mixed perfectly with tunes that you and your guests have requested (Bride & Groom are busy with the photographer for usually 45 minutes.
  

• Guests aregreeted and told to enjoy the hors derves as they take this time to meet and mingle amongst friends and family.
  

• When you arrive you and your wedding party will be greeted by the DJ/MC prior to entering the venue area.
  

• Introduction music is typically upbeat as your Wedding Party stands before the crowd smiling as your guests take a few pictures.
  

• First Dance as Husband and Wife
  

• Father/Daughter and possibly Mother/Son dance.
  

And Then...

Typically just before dinner is served...it would be time for the Best Man to grab the microphone to say a few nice things about the new happy couple as we all raise a glass to toast the joyful union.
And, while everyone eats and mingles some more, the Bride and Groom quickly finish their meal because they want to make their rounds from table to table, welcoming their guests and family as the music is light and lovely so you can hear clearly the congratulations your guests extend.
When it comes to the dance portion of the evening, we like to start things slowly as a way to break the ice. A few popular slow songs always gets folks to the floor as they digest a wonderful dinner. Your mature guests will like it that way...


Cutting The Cake...

To the tune you decided, the knife is gently placed into the cake as the Bride puts her hands over the Groom's, holding the knife together as one, displaying your new rings...The Bride is daintily (possibly) fed a small piece of cake, and then the Bride feeds another piece to the Groom.

Dancing...

The dancing continues throughout the evening, as I prefer to take requests, with the careful pre-planning we would of created a DO NOT PLAY list so as your guests request popular songs that are typically shunned such asThe Twist, Macarena, Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide, Y.M.C.A., Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, 70's Disco, 80's, Oldies, Motown, Classic Rock, R&B, Latin, Country, and Polka. We follow your list to your personalized specifications to satisfy everyone's wishes.

* Most of my clients these days prefer to avoid these tiresome (yet still popular) interactive classics. You may, too...since you always have the power of 'veto'. That's why we'll always have detailed personalized pre-consultations, developing an affair that fits YOUR personality. You can't go wrong. Click HERE for a Typical Song List


And Finally..
Then, before the night is allowed to come to a close, your day is capped off with a bit of closure by way of a sweet little slow dance that you decided on during the consulations.


Quick Wedding Facts:

• Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.
  
• Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to over $5,000.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 hour booking. (no worries, I have never charged that much)
  
• The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. 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.
