Need Our Mic for Toasts/Speeches?
 Yes  More Info
It usually works best to use the venues mic (or house mic) for toasts and speeches because they usually have speakers all around the room. We are usually in the corner or at an end which means the people at the far end may have a hard time hearing.
 No 

Even if we are Not Providing Dinner or Cocktail
Music, you Can Use our Mic Towards The End of Dinner.

 Buffet 
 None 


.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Grand March? Introductions?
 Yes  More Info..........
A grand March is introducing the Wedding Party to your guests as you arrive at the reception. It has also been done just before the Bride and Grooms first dance and other times throughout the event.
More Info..........
Keep in mind that it is often hard to keep the Wedding Party together, so planning is important. If you choose to play a song or do something creative with it, it may be difficult to hear each persons name when they are announced. Also, some people choose to just have first names announced.
More Info
If the Venue (Reception Hall) has a microphone (p.a. system) it often times works better for the DJ to use their system because we are usually in the corner or off to the side which can make it hard for guests in the back to hear our microphone.
.......... More Info
Some choose to just have the Bride and Groom introduced when they arrive. "Please help me in welcoming the new Mr. & Mrs..."
 No 

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Grand March Time?

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Grand March Song?

If you choose to have a song played during the march, it can be
difficult to hear each persons name when they are announced, but
it also can make it more fun for the wedding party and guests.

First Dance?
 Yes  More Info
It is a good idea to inform family and friends about what dances are expected of them and when they will occur so they are ready and aware that they will be involved. Some slow songs are several minutes long, if you would like us to shorten or fade some long songs early, just let us know.
 No

First Dance Time?
 After Dinner, The First Dance of the Night 
 Later in the Evening 
Details:

Most people do their first dance and any other special dances (such as the Father/Daughter dance) to start off the dance portion of the reception, but some choose to do their first dance later in the evening.

*** In the past, it has worked best to do the First Dance after the meal to start the dance portion of the reception.  It gives the dance an official start and that's what most guests seem to be used to.

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Father/Daughter Dance?
 Yes 
 No

Would You Like Us To Fade
The First Songs Out Early?
 Yes 
 No 

Often times the First Dance, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son songs are a few minutes long. Most people find that 2 minutes or so of the song is plenty of time to complete these dances. So if you want, we will fade the songs out early so the dances aren't so long.

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Wedding Party Dance?
 Yes 
 No 

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Wedding Party Song: More Info
Typically a slow song for all the members of the wedding party. Some choose to just do a fast song. Keep in mind that it is tough to gather the entire wedding party to do this dance.

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

First Open Dance Floor Song: More Info
After all the first special dances are done and we open the dance floor (let the guests know they can join and are free to dance), is there a specific song that you would like or think would be good to get the dance started?
Need ideas, click here!

Leave This Field Blank if you want the DJ to choose.

Other Special Dances:

Garter Removal?
 Yes  More Info
Typically, guests pay a dollar or a few dollars to dance with either the Bride or Groom. The Best Man and Maid of Honor collect the money from the guests. Note: it is a good idea to only allow about 30 seconds to dance with each paying guest, otherwise it can be a very long dance.

Mn Pro DJ Requirements

Things for the DJ and Setup.

Table With Skirt & Chair:

We prefer a table be provided, a 4 to 8 foot table with skirt to match the rest of the decor is ideal. If a table cannot be provided, please let us know so we bring one with us. A chair is also nice for any down time so the DJ can get off of their feet.

Will a Table Be Provided?
 Yes 
 No 

Space:
We prefer an area of about 18'-21' wide by 9'-10' deep. More Info
Dj Dimensions
Click for more info.

We like the lights to go beside the DJ table and speakers, but they can go behind the table if need be. If we are showing the slideshow or video, there needs to be extra room for the screen and projector as well.

Power:
A full outlet (two plug-ins) is a must in most cases. Preferably on it's own breaker. We also need a 110v outlet (typical outlet), we do not have converters for a 220v outlet.
