So here we are... planning the biggest day of your life.  From dress fittings to the rehearsal dinner, you have taken the time to plan a great number of details for this, your big day.  Your wedding day closes with the reception.  Your reception is the most festive and entertaining part of your wedding day.  You can let your hair down, kick up your heels and finally relax... that is, IF you hire the right DJ.

Some believe that “a DJ is just a DJ!”  After all, there are plenty of “have speakers...will play music for money” deejays available.  Please read on for a more accurate representation of how the right DJ will make all the difference in the world.

With the investment you make in planning your wedding day, an additional step you should take to insure a great reception, is to hire a professional DJ.  While some may believe a professional DJ to be quite costly, couples have found our service to be priceless.

So How Much Is A Professional DJ Worth?

A survey by “Modern Bride” magazine determined the following...

What Were The Most Important Factors In Your Wedding Reception's Success?

57%  Music / Entertainment
22%  Food & Beverage
13%  Facility / Banquet Hall
8%   Other Factors

What Was The Percentage Breakdown Of Your Wedding Reception Costs?

60%  Food & Beverage
20%  Other Factors
15%  Facility / Banquet Hall
5%   Music / Entertainment

This raises an interesting question!  Is music / entertainment responsible for only 5% of your wedding reception's success? You must ask yourself... how important is music at my wedding reception? Are you planning a cocktail reception where light music will be the focus with little to no dancing? Or are you planning a celebration where music and entertainment are key to a great time for you and your guests?

Certainly, music is more important than 5% of your reception's success.  This is not to say that tens of thousands of dollars should be spent to secure a professional DJ.  However, when compared to your other wedding and reception related expenses, hiring the right professional DJ should rank as an important expense.  You only have one chance to have the perfect reception... why not hire a true professional so that you have peace of mind when trusting the details to your DJ?

The right DJ... a TRUE professional, will make sure that your wedding day is a great celebration for everyone. From a great personality that meshes well with your deisred reception style & guests to finding the "pulse" of your audience, the perfect professional DJ is your key to a great celebration! Both Carlos & I arrive at each reception prepared to offer a great performance. We are flexible with requests, make sure to work in your "must play" songs, we stay away from your "do not play" songs and never script your wedding in advance. Each wedding reception is different and thus we tailor our music program to your taste.
