DISCLAIMER: Microphone failure practically never happens, but like every single electronic item on the planet, it will fail or quit working at some point. We do always have a backup mic, but if the cordless mic is being used, and it quits working or is not working properly, in most cases the event will have to continue as is, without a microphone. We can't run cables far enough in most cases to replace our cordless mic with our backup corded mic.

We have a "NO DROP" policy for ALL of our equipment. If it is dripping or raining at any level it can wreck nearly any piece of our equipment… from camera's to speakers and microphones. We CAN'T take any chances if it is going to rain. If rain occurs during any part of an event… we must shut down immediately no matter what! If we are completely covered by a shelter (including mic) then we are safe of course.

Smooth Jazz: Artists like Diana Krall, Frank Sinatra & Norah Jones.
Romantic Instrumentals: Traditional Love songs like "Kiss From A Rose" and "Unchained Melody" without the words of course.

Dinner or Social Music in a Different Room / Area?
Yes
No

Prayer or Blessing Before the Meal?
Yes
No

Need Our Mic for The Prayer/Blessing?
Yes
No

Need Our Mic for Toasts/Speeches?
Yes
No
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.

What Type of Meal?
Individually Served
Family Style
Buffet
Hors d'oeuvres
None

Grand March? Introductions?
Yes
No
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.

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. 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.

Some choose to just have the Bride and Groom introduced when they arrive. "Please help me in welcoming the new Mr. & Mrs..."

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.

Bridal Party Names in Order (If Applicable): Example: Jill - Bridesmaid & Rick - Groomsman Carra (Pronounced Car-ah) - Bridesmaid & Jim - Groomsman
It can be very difficult to get everyone's full name correct. The DJ nearly always says FIRST names only. Typically, guests will look at the program if they want to know last names.

Dances

Please List Song Title and Song Artist when listing songs.

Describe Your Perfect DJ

Your Favorite Type of Music?

Family's Favorite Type of Music?

Does Your Family/Friends Typically Like to Dance?

First Dance?
Yes
No
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.

First Dance Song:

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

Father Daughter Song:

Mother/Son Dance?
Yes
No

Mother Son Song:

Wedding Party Dance?
Yes
No

Wedding Party Song:
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.

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.

First Open Dance Floor Song:
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? Leave This Field Blank if you want the DJ to choose.

Other Special Dances:

What is More Important to You During the Dance?
Play songs my fiance and I want first no matter what, even if people aren't dancing, it is our day we want to hear our music.
Play all of our requests, but fit in guest requests even if all of ours don't get played.
Let the DJ roll with it. Take and play guest requests that are dance-able and appropriate, choose the best dance songs possible and fit in as many of our requests when they will work, even if all our requests don't get played. (Highly recommended to get the best results)

Comments:

Given the freedom for them to navigate the requests and choose music has always gotten the best results if you want guests to dance. Events where the DJ is provided a full set of requests ahead of time can be a major challenge. Guests will request songs and can get VERY adamant about her their requests or wanting the DJ to stray from provided play-lists. It is your day, so do what will make you happy!
It is great to provide a list of 10-20 of your favorite / must play songs when you choose the "Let the DJ roll with it" option. It gives the DJ a good idea of what you like and can make sure must plays get played for you.
Keep in mind that everyone has different tastes in music, some more "odd" than others. Often times slow songs get requested more than dance songs so it can hinder the dance due to too many songs that people can't dance to. We recommend allowing the DJ to "use their best judgment". You can request anything you want anytime of course.

Song Requests: If you have a list of requests ready, you can paste / enter them here. You can also email them to us. Just paste them into an email or send and Excel file (preferred).

Bouquet Toss?
Yes
No
Bouquet Toss Song:

Garter Removal?
Yes
No

Garter Toss?
Yes
No
Many people do different things besides tossing the garter.

Garter Removal & Toss Song:

Dollar Dance?
Yes
No
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.

Dollar Dance Music Type:
We have a variety of classic slow dance and romantic songs that we typically use, but if you would like something specific, let us know.

Specific Songs for Dollar Dance? We can choose if you like.

NOTE: The following common songs and participation dances often times work great to get people on the dance floor and are almost always requested.
Chicken Dance:

Electric Slide:

Macarena:

Baby Got Back:

Cupid Shuffle:

Cha Cha Slide:

Hokey Pokey:

YMCA:

Harlem Shake:

Wip Nae Nae:

Would You Like to Have a Last Dance?
Yes
No

A plate would be greatly appreciated, but we do not require that a meal be provided. If a meal is not provided, please let us know so we can make other arrangements.

DJ Needs & 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. Dj Dimensions

If we are showing the slide show 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.

NOTE: If we are not providing a Photo Booth, skip this section

DISCLAIMER: The Photo Booths use several types of electronics. In the very rare instance when a device or software should fail, we can still take pictures. It is simply not feasible for us to provide backup of all of the equipment at every event. If any equipment should fail, after the event, you will still get all the printed pictures, digital print files and original pictures. We will help to organize the prints and you can send out strips with your thank you's to your guests. We can also still post them online so everyone can still view and share them as well. Just be aware that it is very rare for something to malfunction, but it is out of our control if it does. We have a "NO DROP" and "NO WIND" policy for ALL of our equipment. If it is dripping, raining or windy at any level it can wreck nearly any piece of our equipment. We CAN'T take any chances. If rain occurs or it gets windy during any part of an event, we must shut down immediately no matter what! If we are completely protected by a shelter then we are safe of course.

Where Should We Setup The Booth? It works best to have the booth in the same room as the rest of the activities or dance. If it is not in the same room, some people never use the booth and may not know it is even there. If we are doing DJ as well, we like to have the both near the dance floor to keep people involved with both activities, DJ and photo booth.

What Type of Floor Will We Be On?
We just want to know if we will be on carpet or wood floor, etc.

What Time Should We Setup?
We like about an hour and a half to setup. If it is ok with you and we aren't in the way, we can set up during the meal or other activities.

What Time Should We Open The Booth?
We typically run the booth at the beginning of the dance (or right after any first dances) if there is a dance.

Hours of Operation?
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND running the booth at the beginning of the dance (or right after any first dances) if there is a dance.
If you want to split time that the booth is open, please indicate it. Example: Open from 6-7pm, then open from 8-10pm. Having the booth open during social / cocktail time can be very hit or miss. Sometimes it works great and other times no one uses it at all. Split time must be reasonable. At most 2 hours of downtime between sessions.

We need about 8' x 10' for the booth itself and would like almost the same amount of room for a table and guests to collect, cut and manage pictures. ALSO, many times there is a line with people waiting to get into the booth so consider that when planning the location for the booth.
