Yes, You Can Make Your Wedding
Reception The Best Ever
When You
Understand How Important A Role Your DJ Plays
In The Success
Of The Entire Reception!
I understand that for most people, choosing a DJ is often
difficult and confusing, yet the most important decision
you will make for your wedding reception. Since
everyone claims to be "the best", how can youreallyfind out who
is good, and who is amateur? For a once in a
lifetime event like a wedding reception, you best start with a
professional. Don't take chances with "a friend of a
friend". Although people mean well, lack of
experience or skill will not prepare them to handle
unexpected details.
First I recommend you
start with a wedding specialist. A DJ from a club or school dance may be great,
but they're not necessarily right for your wedding.
Second, meet with the
DJ Company. This is not a decision that can be made
over the phone. You must be sure you are comfortable
with the DJ's style and see if it is a good match for you.
After all, they will be representing you at your wedding
reception.
Then, check the
history and background of the DJ Company. Do they
have references? And don't just take their word for
it, call the banquets facilities, call several of their
references and find out WHY the client loved their DJ.
Don't make the
mistake of choosing a DJ by price alone. If the DJ
is not a good fit, but the right price, it won't matter a
bit if he ruins your special day that you spent big money
and many months planning.
UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF THE DJ AND EMCEE
Since the DJ you hire will bear the
responsibility of over80% of
the success of your wedding reception, it is
easy to see how important it is to choose
wisely. The DJ can be considered “The
Entertainment Director”. A common misconception
is that the DJ is just “the music”, but in reality,
the DJ must perform several duties.
The
key to a smooth wedding reception is all in the details
and planning. There are DJs out there that do not
understand the importance of being properly
prepared. They go out there as “just music” and
run into problems. For over 25 years, Rusty Bowers
Entertainment has helped hundreds of happy couples
create unique, memorable and fun celebrations. You
can use my experience to help you plan your reception,
and since I have seen many different situations, I can
advise you as to whether something may work or not and
why. I offer completely personalized, custom
wedding entertainment. No two weddings are alike, and I
can design a program to fit most budgets.
“When
it comes to Wedding DJ’s, Brides and Grooms can and
should expect more professionalism than the status quo
that has been perpetuated as “acceptable” for far too
long.“
I invite you to read
this insightful article on hiring wedding
entertainment.
Music is the
soundtrack for a wedding reception. It can help create
energy, romance, fun, elegance, excitement and a number of
other emotions. The “tone” can be set by the music choice
and styles, transition, and building of energy. However,
is music alone all it takes?
Beyond just music,
it takes a professional “Master of Ceremony” to
effectively guide, direct, and inform the audience and
create the overall “tone” for the event. That
individual has the ability to dramatically impact an event
and make it a success or failure. Even with great music, a
bad MC can set the WRONG tone for an event. How many times
have you been to a wedding and heard someone on a
microphone shout loud and fast and no one understands what
is going on? Maybe they come across like a sports
announcer or a club jock? Even worse, what if they talk
too low and frequently use repetitive phrases, or say
“ummm”, “errr” and “ahhh” all night long? How will that
impact the perception guests have at the event? How will
the guests react? Will they feel engaged or bored? Are
they committed to staying the entire night? Will they talk
about the “overall” day as a positive experience?
An
MC/DJ does more than push play on a CD
player. The individual will be the
spokesperson for the entire group and the
way guests will decide if they will have a great
evening or not.
Anyone planning a
wedding celebration should ask themselves, “Do I just need
music” or “Do I need someone to be a Master of Ceremony
and direct my event”. If the goal is having ONLY
cool music, then honestly why not simply rent a jukebox or
use an ipod? It’s certainly safer and more affordable.
However, if the goal is to create a fun and engaging
evening that will offer a great memory for everyone
involved, the more effective solution is to find a
professionally trained Master of Ceremonies, Event
Planner, and DJ that can work to help produce the intended
result.
Where does Wedding
entertainment fit in the “big picture” of planning and
budgeting? An in-depth study shows some interesting
results.*AFTER THE VOWS…
72% of all brides say they would have
spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.
Almost 100% say they would have spent
more of their budget on the entertainment.
During wedding planning, Brides say
their highest priority is their attire, followed by the
reception site and caterer – reception entertainment is
among the least of their priorities. Within one week
after their reception, 78% of Brides say they would have
made the entertainment their highest priority!
When asked 81% of guests say the
thing they remember most about a wedding is the
entertainment.
65% of all couples that chose a band
to entertain at their wedding, said, if they had it to
do over again, they would have chosen a disc jockey.

“Everything went
smooth. Everyone I talked to had a great time.
Everyone danced, a few, including myself had sore legs, back
and hips for a couple days after. When I need a DJ
again I will have you do the event if you are available.
THANKS!”
