Your wedding is one of the most important events of your life. You won't trust the flowers, the food, the venue to just anyone. Why skimp on the entertainment?
I have entertained at wedding receptions for over twenty five years. The feedback that I have received from brides and grooms, parents, grandparents and guests is consistently the same: "there's nothing like live entertainment." But not all DJ's, bands or entertainers can accommodate themselves to the wedding atmosphere. You need someone with the correct song selection, the proper attire and attitude and the ability to establish a rapport with you and your guests.
Why Should You Hire Me To Play Your Wedding Reception?
-
Yours will not be the first wedding I've played. I have been playing and performing at wedding receptions since I was a teenager. I understand the composition of a wedding reception. I can help manage the affairs of the day to help ease your burden and make it fun and worry free.
-
Music is not a weekend job for me. This is what I do for a living. When I am not playing and performing live I am dedicated to arranging and recording all of my own backing tracks and helping to plan the various events I am involved with.
-
I perform live (solo, duo. combo, band) Live entertainment provides for personal interaction between the entertainers, you and your guests. I also have access to a huge amount of songs that can be DJ'ed so that I can satisfy all musical tastes.
-
I will work with you before the wedding to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible on the day of the event. No two weddings are alike and problems occasionally arise. It helps to have someone experienced to help you get through any difficulties.
-
I will MC all the evening's events and get all of the family and friends names correct.
-
I will dress in proper attire (tuxedo) and conduct myself in a professional manner throughout the day's events.
-
I won't arrive in the middle of dinner and carry my equipment in with shorts and a t-shirt in front of your guests. I will arrive and be setup early.
-
I will work closely with the Bride, Groom and/or your wedding coordinator to make your wedding reception a success. In order to help accomplish this I can accommodate various special needs that you may have.
-
I won't take a half hour break after every 4 songs. In fact, there will be very little, if any, dead air between songs. Except for occasional time taken to discuss special dances or to cut the wedding cake, etc. The music will continue during the contracted time. There will be NO intermissions.
-
I will coordinate special dances.
-
I will coordinate the evening's events to ensure a smooth flow throughout (I will work with your wedding coordinator, if you have one.)
-
You can make "priority play" lists as well as "do not play" lists. See "Wedding Reception Tips"
-
You may submit special songs if necessary (Bridal, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, etc.)
-
With over 25 years experience performing at wedding receptions, I can make your special day a memorable one.
The Wedding Worksheet can be used to help plan out the various events at your wedding reception. (right click on the link and choose "Save as" to save the form to your computer.) Please note that not all listings may be applicable to your situation. There is not a wedding "rulebook" though some people may want you to think there is. Each wedding is unique and special and is treated that way when you hire my services.
