A Great Wedding Dj Does Way More Than Play Music
A great wedding DJ, MC or disc jockey does much more than choose and play wedding reception music. At DMR Entertainment, my professional DJ services start with a critical planning session with the bride and groom and end with the guests not wanting the party to end.
A good deejay must know music and have a broad wedding DJ music playlist, but a great wedding emcee also knows how to please a crowd, regardless of age, size or location. To do this properly requires the ability to create an atmosphere in which you and your guests can enjoy and celebrate the occasion. Many in this role become the star of the show but the successful ones make the couple and their guests the stars. It takes experience to be able to do this properly and well. This is one of the most important days in your life. Choose someone with the experience and know-how to ensure a perfect, hassle-free event.
DMR Entertainment’ goal is to make the couple happy, the event perfect and to make it look as effortless and seamless as possible. According to many Bride magazines, more than three quarters of guests say that the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment. To make this happen requires much more than great music. It also requires:
- Pre-wedding planning and review sessions with bride and/or groom
- Preparation and rehearsal of wedding songs
- Professional equipment and backup equipment
- Set-up and breakdown of all equipment
- Communication and coordination with other wedding vendors
- Preparation of itinerary of function
- Ongoing interaction with vendors and guests throughout event
- Troubleshooter and problem solver from start to finish
Christopher Rita of DMR Entertainment says, “I love music and I love entertaining. A wedding is the most special occasion of all. I start out by looking into the eyes of the bride and end by looking at the smiling faces of the guests. I’ve achieved success when the guests don’t want to leave.” This only happens by listening to what the bride wants and envisioning how to make it happen. It might be magic between the bride and groom but it takes much more than magic to be a great wedding disc jockey and master of ceremonies.
