Wedding Reception
Congratulations on your engagement, and welcome to the most important day of your life!
Are you looking for professionalism and elegant fun? How about low-key and 'non-cheesy'?
If so then we would like the opportunity to speak with you about your wedding reception.
We meet with the bride and groom to discuss the reception; to ensure that the reception events and music is tailored to meet their needs.
We issue a contract for the wedding reception. This specifies the name of the DJ and it gives a detailed break down of the cost for the reception and amount of deposit required.
We wear appropriate attire. (tuxedo or suit)
We coordinate all of the procedures with the staff at the reception site, the photographer, the videographer and the bridal party.
You will deal with the same DJ from day one. You never have to worry about walking into your reception, and seeing a disc jockey that didn’t personally meet with you prior to your reception.
We encourage guests to make request during the open dance portion.
Order of events
The typical flow of a reception varies. Listed below is the order we typically use. The bride and groom may make any changes to this list to customize their reception.
Arrival Of Guests: Jazz or easy listening music is played at a volume level that creates a nice background atmosphere, and does not interfere with normal conversation.

Disc Jockey Rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.
Rates for the DJ Industry varies greatly, ranging from $350.00 to $2,000.00 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 will normally invest 10 to 16 hours in your special event. It may appear that you are only paying for 4 hours. In addition to your event there is consultations, music purchasing & editing, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
