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 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 out there.  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, my clients have found my service to be priceless. It is true... the right DJ will make your reception the celebration of a lifetime. On the other hand, hiring the wrong DJ will ruin your reception.

On your wedding day, either Christine or Paula will also be present to assist in making your wedding day, a great celebration.

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?

All in all, a professional DJ is the most important factor in your wedding reception's success.  The right DJ will not only play the perfect mix of music, but will also know how to execute the perfect itinerary.  From your grand entrance, to all traditions & customs and making all announcements with the utmost in professionalism, you can count on me to make the difference.  Music is a large part of the fun at your reception.  With this in mind, choosing the right professional DJ is THE deciding factor between a bad reception and a great celebration.  Kurtis Cross - Professional Wedding DJ, is that difference.
