A wedding reception is not just a dance or a party ... it's an event. Events do not just happen, they have to be planned. We specialize in handling your wedding reception from front to back. As your reception coordinator, Emcee, and DJ, we plan the details with you so that once you are announced during the Grand Entrance, you can enjoy the event without worrying about what, when, and where. We do our job so that you can fully enjoy the reception.
Wedding Receptions: If you are serious about making your wedding reception a success, then take the choice of your entertainment seriously. Think about this for a moment: When you are booking your reception entertainment, you have one chance to get it right. Once the ceremony is over, and the reception begins, the event will be a "one shot" opportunity to make for a great event. We take great pride in meeting the expectations of our clients and doing the job right. We have attended receptions where the DJ took 5 minutes to find the Bride & Groom's First Dance song. That is not acceptable. Planning, preparation, and professionalism make events a success. Hire a professional DJ/Emcee and relax. You have done your job. Now get ready for a great reception.
An interesting statistic: 80% of the success of a wedding reception falls on the shoulders of the entertainment. This survey was performed by wedding planners.
The Bride and Groom are the main focus of the wedding ceremony. And, they should be a very large part of the reception festivities. Once the meal is served, the cake is cut, and the formalities of the evening are completed, it is time to entertain the guests. That is our job. During this time the Bride and Groom should be free to have fun and socialize. We make sure that all the details are pre-planned to their requests.
Our price includes the Event Planning meeting which covers the Event Worksheets to make sure that all the bases are covered. We want your business and we want your event to be the best event of your life.

Being well prepared: The How-To
Guide to getting the right DJ for a successful event. A professional disc jockey is responsible for creating the right mood while keeping everything organized for your reception, and sometimes even your ceremony. Here are a few tips to insure you will have a smooth wedding day: #10) Follow your instincts and don’t be fooled. If your “gut” tells you not to book with a disc jockey because you have doubts or a bad feeling, follow your instincts. The most popular disc jockeys tend to be more expensive so if someone seems well below average, there is probably a reason for it. Do your homework and remember that surveys show that 80% of a party’s success usually falls in the lap of your entertainer. It is a big responsibility, so choose wisely and follow your heart.

A wedding reception is a very important event and deserves the time and attention that is needed.
Taking shortcuts or just "showing up" and playing stock tunes is not what we do.
Plus, beyond the DJ's time, consider the DJ's costs for insurance, equipment, and maintenance.
(Our sound system, lighting, and music investment is over $14,000)
We understand the local market pricing and know that big city fees are not possible. This fact does
not reduce our effort, planning, or professional approach to each event.
Got a budget in mind, just let us know and we will do our best to meet it!
