How To Choose a Wedding DJ

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.

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.
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:

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.

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.
The information will be provided in terms of criteria that need to be considered when choosing a wedding dj.
1. Experience
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.
-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.
-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.

2. Equipment
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.

Here are some equipment specific guidelines that might assist you:
Speakers:
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.
Remember, a speaker is not just about the power of sound, but also the quality of it, and safety features mentioned above.
Microphones
With respect to microphones, when you hear the make to be SHURE or SENHEIZER, be assured of quality.
Ensure that the dj will use wireless microphones, as this ensures mobility of the MC and other speakers.
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.
Lighting
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.
Give preference to whatever looks the better and fits your event.
I do though want to add that if the make of lighting is "Chauvet", you can be quite at ease.

3. Personal Engagement
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?".
You may have a couple of your own criteria to answer these questions, but I would like to mention the following few:
Response Time
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.
Quality of communication
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.
To conclude
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.
I hope that this article has given you some guidelines to answer your question of "how to choose a wedding DJ". <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

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!

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.
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.
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.

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.
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. 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. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Everyone loves The Muppets

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!
The Sesame Street Connection Kermit, Grover and the Cookie Monster

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.
Animal! Animal! The Muppets and Music
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
"It Ain't Easy Bein' Green" Kermit, Diversity and Friendship
"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!
Not Just for Children!
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!
Kermit The Frog Reporter, Manager, the most Responsible of Frogs

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!
Gonzo, Fozzie and Miss Piggy Accepting Our Differences
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?
Disney Muppets Merchandise The Muppets Glorious Return!
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!
The Rainbow Connection The Unending Magic of The Muppets
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? <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

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.

 These will be some of the hottest toys gifts you can buy for a while. This show is appealing to children aged 2 to 4 years of age but theres no doubt that children older and younger love it as well. It also seems funky parents in their thirties really get the hipster references. Airing Nick Jnr from the United States, Australians can catch it on pay TV or it does air on ABC1 from time to time. Similar Teaching Method to Dora the Explorer Dora The Explorer has been a long time favorite of kids in the same age group and even a little older. Dora uses repetition to teach as well. Its bright, has songs, and good characters that appeal to the kids. Here are a few of the reason why Yo Gabba Gabba is capturing the imaginations of children and ,whether good or bad, the attention of parents: * Affordability These toys are in the mid range price that gives you good quality that is within the reach of most people. * Fun And Educa
tional Combining fun with important lessons is a very effective way to teach. The characters dance, sing, and play their way through everything kids need to know about dealing with the many challenges of daily life. * Colourful and Entertaining Even if you are staring dumbfounded at the screen, Yo Gabba Gabba will get your attention. But take a moment to observe your child watching the show. They cant tear their eyes off it.
 The Characters The characters are among some of the weirdest creatures youll see, and that includes DJ Lance Rock. DJ lance is the human element and the bright orange outfit, hat, and large glasses seem crazy enough. But he has the characters of the show inside his boom box and when he sets it down the rest of the crew go to work with their dancey dance moves and an impressive lineup of special guests showing their favourite dance moves. Some of the guests so far have been: * Jack Black * Elijah Wood * Supernova * Sugarland * Tony Hawk The other characters are: * Muno A red Cyclops looking character * Foofa Pink water-drop shaped flower * Brobee A small green squarish looking fellow with long arms * Toodee A blue cross between a cat and a dragon * Plex The yellow robot There seems to be as many adults who love the show as those who dislike it. As with anyth
ing so different it is very polarising. People either love it or hate it. But one thing is for the popularity is there. They signed for a third season and are planning more guest appearances for the Dancey Dance segment. Its won awards even in only two seasons and the craze is beginning to spread around the world. The Yo Gabba Gabba stage show came to Australia in May 2009, and performed in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne as a world premiere. The shows rocked the parents and kids and were very much enjoyed. The range of toys out now includes Megablocks toys which are perfect for the age group. Yo Gabba Gabba may become something of a cult kids show so expect it to get even more popular and know that all kids will want a toy from the show. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

The Evolution Of Dance Music

Dance music has been doing the waves in not only the clubs but everywhere in the world, endorsed by the clubbers and a Dance DJ's haunt. DJs all over the globe have been experimenting and adding up to the evolution of dance music, rather than adding their own unique and quintessential elements in it. Dance music started with the main genres of House music, Trance music, Garage music, and Drum & Bass music, to nurture and grow into various sub genres. Now it is difficult to differentiate, but each of them was created with a solidarity and uniqueness of its own. Rendering it into various other forms and blending with them to give a completely new experience. When coupled with various other forms such as R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, etc and with vocals, dance music is taken to another level.

The history of House music tells us that from the beginning it has been a dance DJ's favourite, since its emergence in Chicago. While the garage music developed in New York, especially to render the House with a more soulful, smooth and raw touch. Garage music became equally popular in the UK, where it also known as UKG. However, its reputation suffered due to the atrocious violence, which was associated with it over a time. Nonetheless, it was revived and the new skool' garage music came into being.
Garage music became immensely popular. This became evident with the number of sub genres of it that came into existence during the 1990s. Some of them that include this sub genre are the Speed garage, the 2-step, the new dark swing, the Dubstep, the Breakstep, the Grime, and the Bassline. Few would not be acquainted with Trance music. It is needless to mention that some of the Djs like Dj Tiesto and Dj Paul Van Dyk have been doing a remarkable job with their dance music. Trance music also arose from the House music, but it also had its inspirations from Ambient, Industrial, and Electronic forms of music. The earliest trance music has been from the acid house movement, of which the most conspicuous were What Time Is Love?', 3 a.m. Eternal', Kylie said Trance' and Last Train To Transcentral'. Trance music too developed into a multitude of genres. The important ones include Classic Trance, Acid Trance, Progressive Trance and Uplifting Trance (also known as Anthem Trance or Ep
ic Trance or Stadium Trance), then there are others such as the Euro Trance, Vocal Trance, Ambient Trance, Dream Trance, Goa Trance and Psychedelic Trance.

Indeed, with such great numbers of offshoots it can be easily figured out how much dance music has evolved in the present times. Similarly, we have another form of electronic dance music, called the Drum & Bass Music. It took the centre stage in the middle of the 1990s. It envelops breakbeats, bass, infra bass, and sub bass elements. Originally, it had its beginning in Bristol and London in UK, from where it spread to gain grounds across the sea. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

Why You Need The Best Dj Equipment Speakers & How To Get 60% Off Retail Prices On The Biggest Names

Dj Equipment Speakers can make the difference! Exactly how very important may be getting one of the best dj equipment speakers for a(starting) dj? Let me tell you that I have been a dj for roughly 6 years nowadays along with among the list of first matters I discovered has been that no matter how great you might be as a dj, it does not matter if you certainly not take advantage of the perfect good quality dj equipment speakers you will get your hands on.

 My genre of music is towards goa trance and hard house but I always relax in mixing hip hop and r& b. While in the six years I have done plenty of gigs. From mid large audiences to beginning in friend`s houses, garages in addition to rooms and so on. At the end of any of these gigs 1 point had been evidently tight connected towards the performance from the night`s gig I did. And, that was naturally the excellence in the sound system. Regardless if I spinned one of the best set I ever did in my life, if the dj equipment speakers I was performing my tricks on that night sounded similar to empty cans of oil being spat at by a couple of hilbillies after cheweing the wrong sort of chewing tobacco then my dj set is going to sound similarly. As I am a perfectionist I have to pronounce that any of those nights I was not happy to now and again being right disapointed concerning it. Very soon I determined I needed to have my own dj equipment speakers
 and begun to save dollars. Needless to say, should you be playing a huge gig as a dj then one could assume a respectable sound system to be at hand. However, if you are organising your own parties, arrange your own karaoke parties or are offering your own dj services to third parties then it is of great importance to possess the ability to use a good sounding dj speakers and dj equipment you will get.
 When you as being a dj consider fellow dj`s as people like Tijs Verwest(Dj Tiesto) Armin van Buuren or Ferry Corsten you will see that indeed, they only work with the best sound systems available. I understand as no other that the big difference between Tiesto, Armin, Ferry and the most of us in dj land is not the only one of quality but the one of budget too. Those guy have made millions and therefor has lots of money to spend on the best materials, right? What about the rest of us? I imagine I've found the answer to that one. . . The internet is the solution for the best deals on dj equipment speakers. The web. . . Who would have thought about that? Back in the point in time when I got my set of dj equipment speakers there was no such thing as buying via internet as which are the availability of it now. In this moment, this has manufactured mad competition between the providers resulting in? Correct! Hig
h rivalry typically results in Insane discount prices! And, I have found a site online where I personally purchased a complete new set plus turntables in addition to all other dj equipment you'll be able to consider and many products I bought had about 60% bargain on them! I saved top dollar. Dj equipment speakers has a lot more than 200 internet pages with the biggest models on dj equipment speakers, cables, turntables and more. Check out Dj Equipment Speakers on to purchase your following set of dj sound system or karaoke set speakers with 60% off the retail prices. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

From Radio to Online Guitar Lessons

I can remember when it was the summer of 2000, more than 11 years ago at the moment of writing. The radio was on, but on such a volume that I could actually ignore it. But I probably would have ignored it anyway since I just received my guitar. Can't recall the brand or type but it was a rather cheap instrument. I had a little bit of experience. With a little bit I mean that I had 2 or 3 guitar lessons at the age of 8. So I could barely read the tabs.

One moment I was fully focused on my guitar but a moment later I totally forgot all about the guitar. Even forgot that I was trying to make music. Because this was when I first heard Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The DJ announced a new single by the band from Los Angeles. The first notes reached my ears and I was estatic. I just sat there with the guitar on my lap, enjoying every single second of the 5 minutes the song.
Once the song ended I regretted that I stopped my guitar course. But I also became motivated, very motivated. Because the only thing I could think of at that moment was that I have to master my instrument. I wanted to be able to play this song so badly that must have practiced for the entire afternoon. Although I have to admit, it was worth it. For a couple of hours I was a rockstar in my head atleast. My roommates thought otherwise unfortunately.

About 9 to 10 years went by without playing my guitar. But then, approximately 2 years ago, I was driving my car. It was May, a very beautiful day in Spring. The sun shone for the first time in the past months and I have to admit, I felt good. And it only would get better, because the DJ on the radio anounced Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Somehow I hadn't heard it for a while, probably 3 years. The only thing I knew for sure was that I needed my guitar.
That's when I turned the car around, drove to my local guitar shop and picked up a new guitar. Went home as fast as I could and started playing. Unfortunately I didn't know how anymore. So after I ordered some Online Guitar Lessons, since I don't have time to schedule a guitar teacher in my spare time, I started playing again. Till the day of today I still feel like a rockstar when I pick up my guitar and think of Californication. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software

If you are a DJ for a music station, you should know as much as possible about music. Most stations are genre specific, so you should know all the top hits, musicians, and style of music. Radio stations on the Internet are both genre specific and mixed. Usually there are links to a type of genre on one site. If you are the DJ for all channels on the site, you will have to immerse yourself in music knowledge. You can only be a great and well liked DJ if you are playing the type of music that people want to hear on the station.
After you have gained knowledge about the topic you want to DJ about, you will need the necessary materials and technology. For the Internet, it will be very important that you have a fast connection if you are working from home and streaming with a station online. The host will have a minimum connection speed and bandwidth that you will need to stream properly without interruptions. You will also need a microphone and a laptop or computer with a lot of memory and speed. If you are hosting an Internet radio music program that already has a playlist, you will need to familiarize yourself with the music they want to play. Others will require that you develop your own playlist. The playlist you compile should include top hits from the music genre you are broadcasting.

Once you have the right technology and an awesome playlist, you will need to find the Internet Radio station that you want to DJ for. Do you want to be part of a company that is streaming talk shows or music? What genre of music are you the most knowledgeable about? You will need to do a lot of research about the radio station, the type of music or talk show they stream, and if you would be a good fit or not. Once you have selected the Internet radio station you want to work with, you can send a resume, sample playlists, and samples of your voice. <a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software
