Wedding Ceremony & Reception
$1600
(Deposit $500)
Ceremony
Have you ever been to a wedding where it was hard to hear the officiant? As part of your package you have access to the professionally designed sound system we installed in the Ceremony area. The speakers blend right in without seeing any wires or sound man in your pictures as we run your microphones and music from the back.
JP, our sound engineer is a dedicated sound man for your ceremony that we provide to make sure the music & microphones are mixed appropriately. He will start playing music 30 minutes before your guests arrive, mic your officiant and make sure your ceremony sound runs smooth.
Also this package includes coordinated songs for guest arrival, seating of mothers, entrances & exits, etc with microphones for officiant & wireles mic for vows. The sound is clean & easy to hear from every seat.
Reception
I am proud to partner with Jim & Michele at Willows Bend to have a top end Audio/Video/Lighting system permanently installed to offer you! The sound system is specifically tuned & tailored for the venue. The dance lighting covers the whole dance floor witout blinding you from the DJ booth. All of the fixures disapear & blend in with the venue. The sound, the lighting & experience is far beyond what I (or any other DJ) could offer you as a mobile DJ. When you hire me you receive the benefits of this system at a value price.
Premium Uplight package
Included when you book!
There are over 28 professionally installed up-lights that transform the look & feel of the venue. Any color of light can be chosen controlled by me during the evening. When the veue main lights are dimmed down for the dance, these lights really set the mood of the night.
Photo booths at weddings are a BIG hit. So much so, the guests line up for it all night long. It gives guest something fun to do along with the dance and we always hear many positive comments. We can’t recommend it enough!
