"Will you conduct the announcements at our reception?"

You can relax and have fun by not having to worrying about what the next step of your reception is since I will be moving your reception along from start to finish by coordinating, announcing, and guiding your guest’s attention as planned.  I have created the Reception Planner as a starting tool to get the process going.  Also after consulting with me  I will know exactly what you want coordinated and announced and when.  In addition, if your utilizing a wedding coordinator you will be happy to know that I work extremely well with all coordinator.

"Can we give you music to play at our wedding?"

I will be happy to play any music you provide in mp3 format or on CD.  If you would like to send me your songs you can easily transfer any music files to me that you would like played at your wedding by going to the Plan Your Music page.  If you need help converting a cd to mp3 I will be happy to help you by phone support. Just go to Plan Your Music Page.

“What sets you apart from other disc jockeys”?

I offer the best in dependably, punctuality, good taste, customized and personalized service, and unmatched weddings knowledge; the most important yet least likely qualities to find all together in a one disc jockey.   Since your wedding will be remembered as a once in a life time and life changing event and you only have one shot at things being done right that day, the right thing to do is to see that you assure yourself by having a disc jockey that is consistent at delivering the ideal and best service available.   The Wedding Secrets page explains in detail how what I offer is nothing like what other disc jockeys offer.

“Do you have and use dance lighting?”

It’s important to note that most brides and grooms today don’t want dance lighting since it detracts from a nice ambiance. Instead most want candle light tables and dimmed room lighting for a tasteful dance atmosphere. 

What type of music do you play?"

I carry all types and genres of music and guarantee your special selections will be played and the music customized to your personal taste. Also, you can rest assured that the songs and style of music you do not want played will not be played. While selecting your music, keep in mind that you will likely have guests of all ages, so it's best to play music that is recognizable to most of your guests. If you select more current dance music, it’s often best if is played later in the reception. You can either specially select all of your own music or you can select just a few songs where I will build on your selections by using my knowledge of music and developed skill at “reading the crowd”

“What is your style of announcing?”

The style of announcing I provide is noticeably professional and classy, lying more on the understated conservative side. There will never be any exaggerated lounge voice, tacky clichés, jokes, over-talking, or advertising/announcing of my name and my company name. 

"How will your wedding expertise help me with my wedding?"

Because I have been disc jockeying and MCing weddings exclusively for over 18 years I am able to gracefully guide your wedding in ways no other disc jockey can. I will notice things at your wedding that other disc jockeys will not notice. If what I notice is within my grasp where I can make a difference in maintaining the smooth progression of your reception, you can be assured I will do it. I am very much into my craft and put myself in the shoes of my brides and grooms who hire me.

How do you dress for weddings?"

The style I dress in is understated formal. I wear a finely tailored black Calvin Klein wool suit, a professionally pressed dress shirt with a strait knotted silk black tie and black dress shoes.  However, if you are having a theme wedding, such as a beach theme, I can dress according to your theme upon request.

“Do you have a wireless microphone for toasting?"

A wireless handheld microphone will be provided at your reception for toasting. The microphone used is of the highest quality with excellent dynamic range, superb feedback rejection, and high sensitivity for optimal pick-up and clarity.

"“Can you set up and have music playing in two different areas, such as for the cocktail hour and reception?”

Yes. I can set up in multiple areas, as there are numerous capabilities and options available with the sound equipment I provide. For instance, I can set up a music system in one location for a cocktail hour while still having another system in another area ready for the reception. I can have as many as three computerized systems playing music at the same time, so that when guest’s transition from one part of your wedding to the other, the music continues.
