How To Choose a Wedding DJ

<p>Choosing a product for the wedding (such as venue, wedding cake, centerpieces etc) is quite easier to do, as these things can be viewed, tasted, touched, experienced and so on. Thus, the human senses can be applied to determine which product to choose.</p>


<p>When it comes to choosing a service, it becomes a bit more intricate. This is not only true to services at a wedding, but services in general. The main reason for this claim can be seen as the human senses that are not involved, as with the choosing of a product.</p>
<p>To extent the previous paragraph regarding the inherent difficulty in choosing a preferred service, the following two reasons can be put forward, in my mind, as the reasons why choosing a wedding dj for your event can be so difficult. The two reasons are:</p>

The fact that you are not familiar in the arena of wedding dj's, wedding music, dj equipment etc, as it is a service the average person does not engage with regularly.
DJ services are often associated with un-professional people making use of home-made or below-average equipment, to make a quick buck. This is a stigma that has unfortunately progressed over years, and stigmas are difficult to erase.

<p>Let us now spend the rest of this article in providing you, the reader, and most probably, the planner of a wedding, with information that will give you insight in the arena of wedding dj's, so the above mentioned "reasons of difficulty in choosing a wedding dj" may be mitigated to a large extent, and allow you, to choose a wedding dj that will fulfill your expectations.</p>
<p>The information will be provided in terms of criteria that need to be considered when choosing a wedding dj.</p>
<p><strong>1. Experience</strong></p>
<p>Whether you have gathered a list of possible wedding dj's from the web, or from referrals, interrogate the individual dj companies. Visit their website or contact them directly to determine the experience of the company.</p>
<p>-Firstly you can prompt the number of years that the wedding dj company has been in business for. A good idea will be to also prompt the experience of the dj that is available for your event, which might even include the tertiary qualification, or 8 to 5 occupation of the dj. Give higher preference to companies where the available dj has some tertiary qualification or has an 8 to 5 occupation that is relevant to the "sound" industry.</p>
<p>-Secondly you can prompt the wedding dj company to provide you with a list of venues they have played at the last 12 months. Give higher preference to companies who played at more prestige's venues, as these venues usually have their own criteria to which sub-standard dj's usually NOT comply with.</p>

<p><strong>2. Equipment</strong></p>
<p>Either browse the wedding dj company websites, or prompt them directly for the make and model of the equipment that are to be used at your wedding.</p>

<p>Here are some equipment specific guidelines that might assist you:</p>
<p><em>Speakers:</em></p>
<p>Without getting to technical, do the following "rule of thumb" exercise. Use the make and model provided by the company, and do a quick search for the price of such speakers. Equipment from R4,000.00 ($475.00) and higher, per speaker, can be considered for your evaluation of the preferred wedding dj. The higher the value of the speaker, the higher the quality of sound and safety features on the speakers. With "safety features" I refer to the speakers' ability to handle power surges etc.</p>
<p>Remember, a speaker is not just about the power of sound, but also the quality of it, and safety features mentioned above.</p>
<p><em>Microphones</em></p>
<p>With respect to microphones, when you hear the make to be SHURE or SENHEIZER, be assured of quality.</p>
<p>Ensure that the dj will use wireless microphones, as this ensures mobility of the MC and other speakers.</p>
<p>As I do not want to only promote the above mentioned brands of microphones, as a "rule of thumb", the wireless microphone's price MUST again be higher than R4,000.00 ($475.00). You can quickly determine the price by browsing for the specific make and model of the microphone.</p>
<p><em>Lighting</em></p>
<p>Lighting can become very technical, but this is something you can get pictures for, from the wedding dj company, which make the decision on this criteria much easier.</p>
<p>Give preference to whatever looks the better and fits your event.</p>
<p>I do though want to add that if the make of lighting is "Chauvet", you can be quite at ease.</p>

<p><strong>3. Personal Engagement</strong></p>
<p>A number of suppliers are involved to make your wedding a memorable event. These suppliers are in fact partnering with you. Thus, the question you need to ask is "With whom do I feel comfortable to partner with?".</p>
<p>You may have a couple of your own criteria to answer these questions, but I would like to mention the following few:</p>
<p><em>Response Time</em></p>
<p>When you first initiated communication with the dj company, how long did they take to respond, and for all communication there-after, what was their response time.</p>
<p><em>Quality of communication</em></p>
<p>Un-professionalism will quickly show itself in the type of responses you get from the dj company, whether through email, or over the telephone. Use your own judgment as to the professionalism of the dj company, but be sure to know that if you experience un-professionalism in the communication, you WILL see some sort of un-professionalism in the service.</p>
<p><strong>To conclude</strong></p>
<p>I do not merely suggest that you should go for the dj company with the most experience, most expensive equipment and best communication skills. I do though suggest that you give attention to these criteria when evaluating a wedding dj for your event.</p>
<p>I hope that this article has given you some guidelines to answer your question of "how to choose a wedding DJ".</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

What to Look for in a Professional Firework Display Company

<p>Any wedding, birthday or event is a good excuse for a fireworks display. They really make any event go with a "bang" and will be remembered for his customers in the coming years!</p>


<p>Professionally fired firework may seem out of reach for the average person, but you'd be surprised at how companies can alter their budgets. Compared to the DIY fireworks you can get more value for money with professional displays. This is due fireworks which are purchased by consumers need to comply with BS7114 and the shop needs to turn a profit. This brings the cost of the fireworks display down.</p>
<p>Authorized show operators have access to the effects that the public cannot legally obtain. This includes shells, which are like rockets; however, are much larger, fire writing and lance work, in which initials or messages are created in flames. Many couples decide on wedding initial over a love heart, or at Guy Forks night at the right message of "Good Night" is often used. The only limit is the imagination of the company and the customer.</p>
<p>Pyromusical fireworks set to music, it is almost impossible to accomplish this kind of show a as do it yourself, because it requires a digital firing equipment, electronic ignites. These e-matches, light the firework straight away without the delay fuse, this allows the effects can be synchronized with the rhythm or mood of music. These displays can be very dramatic and seems to add another element. The display will provide a sound system, or it can be used through the DJ / Bands pa.</p>

<p>When you are looking for a professional company of fireworks is a good idea to look over your portfolio to see what other events they have done. In addition, each display needs insurance, but insurance can vary from company to company, liability insurance of one million pounds should be sufficient for all but the largest displays. The insurance covers staff liability, the pay-out to the public in case of accident and the damage if any to any property.</p>
<p>A good operator will complete an inspection before the event to ensure the place is acceptable, and let the fire department, police, and, if necessary, air ports to the attention of the display. There would be nothing worse than the police or fire brigade arrives at your event because of the fireworks, where seen as an emergency flares, or a property on fire.</p> <p>No matter whom you get for your firework display, when done correctly you'll have a great fireworks display for the event and it'll be a night to remember for both you and your guests.</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Handing out Yo Gabba Gabba Party favors to all the guests when the party is over, will ensure your son or daughters birthday party event is a success.

<br /><br />It is interesting how the idea of giving out party favors has progressed over the years. From the initial beginnings of being handed out to guests as they left a birthday party, they are now being used as a great way to say thanks to your guests at Christmas parties, baby showers weddings, engagements and almost all other types of gatherings for festivities.<br /><br />Kids party favors though don't need to be expensive gifts. Once upon a time, they use to just be lolly bags, but then they evolved into goody bags and now, pre filled themed party favor boxes are all the rage, as contain a selection of wonderful little gifts for the children to enjoy. They are not expensive and long after the party is over, you will know that your children's friends will still be remembering your party and enjoying their little mementos from the day.<br /><br />A Yo Gabba Gabba Radio Party favor box is a fantastic treat that all your young guests will love. The reusable box is in th
e shape of a radio, so the kids will love storing their precious items inside. Also included in the box are a themed notepad, a sticker sheet, a fun blowout, a Yo Gabba Gabba ring and box of little crayons for your little monsters to be creative with.<br /><br />Haven't heard of Yo Gabba Gabba? It is a very popular show on the Nickelodeon channel. The show is educational, but also lots of fun for the kids to watch and contains quite a large cast of people including great creatures such as Red Cyclops Muno, a green monster called Brobee, a blue cat dragon called Toodee, Plex the magic yellow robot and the whole cast is headed up by DJ Lance Rock.

The show itself is set in Gabba Land and consists of animated videos and musical songs as well.

of us in the world today, you have too little time and too much to do, and the thought of organising a themed party scares your socks off then just decide to use premade party favors boxes as gift for the guests, and also to utilise the many themed items that can really add to the atmosphere. You ill save yourself a lot of stress, and you child will thank you for it as well.<br /><br />However, if you are very keen to ensure that every detail is just as you want it, then you can buy the Yo Gabba Gabba party favour box without any items in it, and fill it up with your own choice of items such as themed stickers, blowouts and squirters. Doing this will certainly add the personal touch to the favors box and will give you a great sense of satisfaction.</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Everyone loves The Muppets

<p>Everyone loves The Muppets, right? It's hard to imagine a world without Jim Henson's cuddly and hilarious felt creations. Why are The Muppets so endearing and why are they great characters and toys for your child? Let's find out why Muppets merchandise can be so much fun for kids and adults alike!</p>
The Sesame Street Connection Kermit, Grover and the Cookie Monster


<p>Of course, The Muppets greatly resemble their PBS counterparts on Sesame Street; the same man designed them! This makes it easy for kids to play with both Muppets toys and Sesame Street toys. There's no reason a Miss Piggy toy can't waltz onto Sesame Street and play with Elmo, Big Bird or even Mr. Snuffleupagus! Kermit was regularly featured on Sesame Street with Grover and the Cookie Monster. He even reported on the news just as he did on The Muppet Show! Muppets merchandise, especially Muppets plush toys are great for toddlers watching Sesame Street at home.</p>
Animal! Animal! The Muppets and Music
<p>Of course, The Muppets are great for introducing children to music and sparking their interest in playing an instrument. Before there was DJ Lance Rock on Yo Gabba Babba there was Electric Mayhem! What kid can resist Animal rocking out on drums? Grab an Animal Muppets tote and throw some drum sticks in and your ready to start rocking! Of course, there is the classic Kermit song "Rainbow Connection" which so poignantly describes magic, friendship and child-like wonder. No child should be with "Rainbow Connection" or Kermit's other hit song</p>
"It Ain't Easy Bein' Green" Kermit, Diversity and Friendship
<p>"It Ain't Easy Bein' Green" was written all the way back in 1970 and first performed by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street. What is there to say about "It Ain't Easy Bein' Green?" The song has become an absolute classic and shinning example for children to except and befriend people of all sizes, shapes, colors and dispositions. Every kid feels awkward or put down at some time and Kermit and his song are great companions and inspirations!</p>
Not Just for Children!
<p>Of course, The Muppets aren't just for kids! Long before the adult humor, with a wink and a nod, of Shrek there was The Muppet Show, which contained jokes and entertainment for people of all ages! To put it another way, you won't get a headache watching The Muppets with you child, your laugh right along with them!</p>
Kermit The Frog Reporter, Manager, the most Responsible of Frogs

<p>Kermit the Frog is a great role model for children. Not only is he funny, he is also smart, creative and responsible. Don't forget that Kermit was the theatre manager of The Muppet Show and was also a hotshot reporter! I double dare you to find another reporting puppet for your children to idolize!</p>
Gonzo, Fozzie and Miss Piggy Accepting Our Differences
<p>The Muppets teach children the value of finding friendship with many different people, no matter what. Each Muppet has something that could be a flaw but is instead embraced by his Muppet friends. No one knows where Gonzo comes from; Fozzie is a comedian that isn't funny and Miss Piggy can be downright mean. However The Muppets play nicely and work as a team. What better role model for sharing and teamwork is there?</p>
Disney Muppets Merchandise The Muppets Glorious Return!
<p>Of course, since Disney has produced a new Muppets film there is no better time for a great selection of Muppets toys and Muppet merchandise! Muppet toys for sale include 10-inch cuddly Muppets plush toys including Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy! Don't settle for a plain Teddy bear when your child could have Fozzie's "Wacka! Wacka!" Other Muppets movie merchandise includes a variety of drawstring backpacks including Miss Piggy, Kermit, Animal or the whole gang! Disney Muppets toys are some the first new Muppets official merchandise in a very long time, so they are not to be missed!</p>
The Rainbow Connection The Unending Magic of The Muppets
<p>Did you have a favorite Muppet a child? How about any The Muppet Show toys? If you are a little younger, maybe you had some Muppet Babies toys? The Muppets and Muppet toys have been around for 57 years! There is a chance that grandparents and even great-grandparents played with Muppet toys in the 1950's! What other toy has such a long and storied history? The magic of The Muppets will simply never fade and kids are sure to love them for decades to come! Have any great Muppets memories from your childhood? Share them in the comments section! You know you had some The Muppets toys! Did anyone have old-school The Muppet Show merchandise?</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Yo Gabba Gabba Toys Are Hot Gift Items

<p>At first glance Yo Gabba Gabba seems completely off the scale as far as kids shows go. But actually this show has everything that kids love about a show. Its bright, has funky music, and attention grabbing characters. By way of repetition they teach children how to deal with feelings, manners, and behaviour. Theres always a good dash of personal hygiene and day to day tasks included.

<br /><br />These will be some of the hottest toys gifts you can buy for a while.

But take a moment to observe your child watching the show. They cant tear their eyes off it.
<br /><br />The Characters<br />The characters are among some of the weirdest creatures youll see, and that includes DJ Lance Rock.
