ATTENTION! We've added DJ Mike to our staff! Mike brings a fresh face & YEARS of experience to our team! Contact us for details!. Continuing from our home page's the "Anatomy of an Event" we've done alot prior to your first dance. Great pre-event planning makes an event run so effortless and being that we encourage a flexible format from our standpoint.... the results are endless. Here are a few examples.
The First Dance
The more traditional way is for the bride and groom to dance alone to "their
song" in its entirety. Here, as well as the whole evening, you are the star of
the show and the focus is on your special day.
The bride and groom starts to dance to "their song" for a minute or so, then
we ask the bride's father and the groom's mother to join. Some continue this by
asking other family members or friends to join them, others keep this going until
most everyone is on the dance floor. The songs are usually slow and can be one
long in time length or several. With this approach, this is still your special
day, but, you want the emphasis on being grateful towards your guests and thanking
them for their involvement in your life. Many couples have gone through alot to
get to this point, so celebrating this way seems appropriate to them. These are
just a few of the options that are available to you, there are many more possibilities!
The Garter and Bouquet
The traditional way is chosen by the bride and groom who wants to share in the
fun and photo opportunity of these moments. One reminder here is to make sure
you have enough singles to toss to, some weddings don't.
Many couples have expressed their dislikes for this because they feel it is male chauvinistic, embarrassing, WWF in likeness and focuses on being single at a wedding celebration. One alternative, is to eliminate the garter and bouquet entirely and do a marriage countdown instead. This celebrates marriage at a wedding, not being single. If you choose our service we'll assist you in finding what's best for you, it's your choice.
Let's Dance
Many bride and grooms (guests as well) have told us that it's not a wedding
reception without the traditional songs and interactions. The Hokey Pokey, Chicken
Dance, Electric Slide, Celebration, YMCA, etc., are a MUST for these individuals.
With this style you can still control the level of DJ interaction from none
at all, mild/moderate, to very active... the choice is yours.
As much as the above mentioned loves the "old faithfuls", the other 50% dislike
at least a few songs, and others hate most or all of these songs, calling them
stale, tacky and inappropriate for an elegant occasion. Whatever your song interests
are, we usually can work them into your reception, even if it's not danceable....
how about playing it at the cocktail hour or dinner time?
Interaction from the DJ with your guests has similar differences of opinions.
For those interested, our style is suitable for an elegant occasion like yours,
adding a "Simon says" style to group dances without being annoying. Even if this
isn't your preference, we don't stand stiff and lifeless behind our equipment.
We've developed our own brand of silliness with class to create fun without being
a distraction.
If you click on "music" on the top right of our page you will see our extensive
selection from our library, as well as a wide variety. For a dance club beat,
we can mix your favorite styles to create a continuous flow. Do you love an artist
or style of music? We can help you create an underlying theme while keeping your
guests with different interests from running out the door!
We can cater to couples with less mainstream lifestyles including gay/lesbian,
wiccan, Goth/industrial, vegan/vegetarian, recovering alcoholics, bikers and others.
Feel free to add, delete, or completely recreate an event that suits you. With
our setup you can add a guest DJ, refer to our music library (if not listed -
we still may have it ... please ask) and/or bring your own music, band or other
entertainment, it's your choice.
As you can see our service offers an eclectic music library, an open minded attitude,
willingness to offer options, handling both the traditional to less mainstreamed
events and the ability to balance between your needs and the interests of your
guests.
