<p>When Djing on a Wedding, your responsibilites will be greater than if simply DJing a birthday party or backyard bash. You will most-likely be playing the emcee for the evening, so you will need to have an outline of how the evening will run before you arrive at the event. This is a very special night for the bride and her family, because so much lies on your ability, you get the opportunity to charge considerably more for your services.</p>
<p><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Basic Wedding Outline: </strong></p>
<p>Your agenda for the evening will be customized based on your client's needs and the suggestions of the wedding planner. But for now, I'd like to give you a basic outline. First, start by introducing bride and groom and the wedding party. This will happen at the start of the reception, after the wedding party has finished with their photos. The most common announcement or event that precedes this is the couple's first dance to a song. Make sure you know what song you will be playing BEFORE the wedding. Afterward, there is usually a toast to the bride and groom. You will need to introduce everyone who is speaking and make sure to have a wireless mic ready for them. After that you may signal people to start eating dinner. Depending on how dinner is being served (buffet line, etc) you may need to have special instruction for the guests. <br /><br />After dinner, the most common announcement is for the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance. Make sure you also have
these songs ready.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Best Music to Play at a Wedding?<br /></strong> Weddings can be difficult because there is such a wide range of individuals at the event. You have to do your best to keep everyone happy with your music selection, but know that it is almost impossible. The first thing is to realize that the CLIENT is in charge, so ask them first. Are there certain songs the MUST play, and others they must NOT play? Follow their rules, because they are paying the bill! <br /><br />Always also the bride and groom what type of music you should be playing at their wedding. Give suggestions and create a list. You should ideally have a form for the couple to fill out to better help them. One of the simpliest ways is to just ask them for what music they love to hear. <br /><br />You should also have in your arsenal a list of must-play songs for all high-energy events. These are the songs that get people on their feet and dancing like crazy! <br /><br /> <strong>How to End the W
edding:</strong></p>
<p>The entire night, everyone will love you simply because you are the source of the music. But when it comes to the end and you have to shut off, if you do it wrong, you may have some unhappy campers. There is a right way and a wrong way to say goodbye at the end of a perfect evening. Here are some tips:</p>
Always let the bride and groom and the wedding planner how long you service lasts for. They should know exactly when you stop playing (and then play 15 min. longer)
You need to announce that you are starting to wrap things up during the last 30 minutes of the event. Let people know as soon as possible.
Don't try to announce over and over again, just to remind people about that's it about time to end of your service. But you should start to play some songs that convey the evening is coming to an end. And ALWAYS let everyone know which song is the very LAST one.
Put some business cards at your dj stand where people can see it and can contact you in the future for their events.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Wedding DJ or Wedding Band? Which Is Right For You
<p>As an Edmonton Wedding DJ for over 25-years and an Agent representing hundreds of live performers for over 10-years I have a unique perspective on which is the best solution. Quite honestly, both can be equally great and both can be equally horrible if put into a situation like a wedding. But, there are some great resources you can research to make sure you're not left with bored guests or Diva Band members.</p>
<p>Bands: There is no question live bands bring a level of energy and excitement that is hard to beat. A great band will interact with your guests and draw people onto the dance floor. Bands often will play their versions of popular dance songs and have set lists they've built to create energy and flow. When researching for a band you'll need to know the sort of music your guests will like. Hiring a band and finding out they only play Elvis tunes for your Oil Field company might not go over very well.</p> <p>In this circumstance working with an Agent like Mitchell Entertainment might yield the best result. A good agent will ask you many questions about your event and will offer several suggestions. Your job then is to look through their information, listen to their music and maybe even attend one of their performances where you can gauge their talent and whether or not they are a good fit to your event. If there are songs you'd like played you must negotiate with the act whet
her or not they can accommodate your request and if there is an associated cost. The price of a band varies greatly depending on popularity and number of members.</p> <p>In Alberta a small (2-3 member) band can cost as little as $1000 but can be as high as $10,000 for a single night or more. Show Bands tend to be more polished and produce more consistent results- and because of this their prices can range from $5000-$15,000 per night. Party Bands (often 3-10 members) fit somewhere in the middle. They often have a great repertoire of music. Cheaper bands are just that: CHEAP. They have no routine- they show up and play their music with little regard for showmanship or entertaining your guests. This why researching an act is vitally important.</p> <p>There are some drawbacks to bands, however. Bands tend to be much louder than DJs. Their instruments are amplified on stage so each musician can hear themselves and then the instruments are further amplified by the main sound syst
em. This is not the rule, but is dependent on the size of the venue and how the band is used to setting up and playing. A Band will also take customary breaks ranging from 15-30minutes after playing for 45-60minutes. Some will have some background music they can play, but you have to ask them if they can do that.</p> <p>You may also be responsible for accommodations depending on where the band is traveling from. Even some local bands may ask for accommodations and this must clarified when negotiating. Bands may also ask for "Rider" fulfillment. This is where an Act will provide a list of items or services the client must fulfill on behalf of the Act as part of the hiring agreement. Some items might be simple like having water and towels on stage. Others might be more complicated like preferred travel services or maybe you need to provide a sound and lighting system- in this case they will have listed a criteria- a minimum standard of what they expect. These extras are your f
inancial responsibility over and above the cost of the band.</p>
<p>Your experience with bands may differ, but the underlying message here is to ask a lot of questions and scrutinize the contract before signing anything.</p> <p>Disc Jockeys: Mobile disc jockeys got their start in the mid-fifties when radio jockey's held Dance Parties for major stations as part of a sponsored promotion. Back then they used huge industrial equipment used by the radio station. Today DJ equipment can be found at Future shop, local music stores and at thousands of shops on the internet. The availability of inexpensive gear and access to unlimited music online has meant just about anyone can become a Disc Jockey.</p> <p>Alberta has enjoyed a robust economy for well over 20-years and that has allowed many people with disposable income to invest in weekend warrior hobbies like DJing. Just like bands, there are hobbyists and professionals. Many enter this industry because you need not a huge knowledge of equipment or music to be able to actually play music. Unfortu
nately that seems to be the problem with DJs. Too many hobbyists and not enough professionals. But depending on your needs and level of entertainment you're looking for you might be able to save some money by hiring a hobbyist. But if your needs are more involved and your expectations are much greater I would recommend a professional with substantial experience.</p> <p>Many people have enjoyed DJ entertainment. They are are almost universally less expensive than bands. They also play the original versions of songs we've all grown to love. A DJ can also have thousands of songs to choose from- where as a band may only have 100 (an exceptional band can have upwards of 500-700 ie The Chevelles From Lethbridge, Alberta). It can sometimes be much easier to work with a DJ to create a music playlist for your guests. With so much music at their fingertips a DJ can literally play for days without repeating music.</p> <p>An Edmonton Wedding DJ can cost anywhere between $750 to $2500 an
d more depending on many factors. Some factors that can affect price are Experience, services offered, options, size of function, venue location, travel requirements and even parking costs. An Edmonton DJ should be able to provide references and in some cases be able to invite you to see them in action (it is always a good idea to make sure the DJ has permission of their client before you attend).</p> <p>Because there are so many DJs in the Edmonton area, it would be a good idea to work with an established company like those who've been in business for more than 10-years. One GREAT Edmonton DJ company has been in business for almost 25-years and offers a wide variety of entertainers in various price points. You can also enlist the services of a DJ Association like the ALBERTA ASSOCIATION OF MOBILE ENTERTAINERS where their members must meet strict guidelines. Some associations will have general information as well as a submission form you can have multiple replies sent to you
r inbox from companies interested in your event.</p> <p>Some things your DJ should offer as standard: -Use of a contract -Be a registered business -Be licensed with AVLA -Have Liability Insurance -Have Back up Equipment -Have back up personnel -Offer a variety of packages and options -Should take requests -Should be able to meet with you -Should take a variety of payment options -Should provide recent referrals (<30-days)</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Looking for a DJ for Wedding Music?
<p>If you want to keep your guests well entertained during your wedding, think of hiring a great DJ. Finding a wedding DJ is not a hard task. You will need to choose a DJ who understands your style of wedding, your guests and your unique entertainment needs. You can find great wedding DJs who offer cost effective entertainment packages. Below are some useful steps you can use to find the right New York DJs.
<br /><br />For a start, make sure you hire experienced wedding DJs. Find out if the DJ has been providing entertainment for wedding ceremonies in the recent past and how successful he was. With experience the DJ already understands the perfect songs which move crowds during weddings and just the right time to play them. An experienced DJ will add that classy touch to your wedding by playing the right music to the right audience.<br /><br />Secondly, never hire a wedding DJ who does not have the right license. This will help you to avoid any drama during your wedding if the person you hire is caught practicing piracy or is not licensed to play the songs commercially. A licensed DJ for wedding music will obtain all music from reputable and legal sources so you would not have anything to worry about when playing your music. Furthermore, pirated music is usually distorted and does not produce the high quality of sound which you would like to hear during your occasion.<br /><br /
>Wedding DJs must be very professional. You have to make sure that they have a presentable website where you can get all their information. The company should be professional with set policies on payments and entertainment packages it offers clients. In fact, the way the wedding DJ will present himself/herself really tells a lot about the quality of service.
<br />You also need to consider the rates charged by the DJ for wedding before hiring. You need to get value for your money so look for quality services and pay reasonably for them. However, do not consider price as the leading determinant of the DJ you settle for. Remember that you always pay for what you get so seeking very cheap services can be disappointing.<br /><br />You should also ask the DJ in NY to give you live samples which you can listen to. This music will give you a taste of what the DJ has to offer. You should get samples of different styles and genres which the DJ has played in the past just to find out what he/she is capable of doing. Make sure you also consider the kind of equipment used by the DJ to play his music. Without proper equipment, the quality of music will be compromised. <br /><br />Lastly, contact the DJ NYC and set up a meeting to speak to this person on a face to face basis. Sit down and discuss the requirements of your wedding and make sure
you give as much information as possible about your entertainment needs. Book reliable and professional New York DJs and your guests will be properly entertained all the way.</p><br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software
