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.

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

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.

Meal:
Some companies require a meal be provided for the DJ, we do not, but a plate would be greatly appreciated. If a meal is not provided, please let us know so we can make other arrangements.

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.
