Reception Entertainment Director

All DJ’s are the same, right? So any DJ will do, right? WRONG…. No two wedding receptions should be alike. Your reception represent the first time you and your spouse are throwing a gathering as husband and wife. It should be an extension of your personality and style. A big mistake is allowing an entertainer to do their usual “schtick”, making your day a carbon copy of every other wedding for the year. How are you sure the DJ will make your day unique? Simply see if he or she asks you what you are looking for. Be wary of the DJ that just touts his music list, equipment, and achievements. See if they ask you what you are looking for, first, and then offer you the right solutions to make your day special.

Looking for transportation for your BIG DAY?  Here’s 3 tips from the Nelson Family Limousine in Berlin, CT. Owner, Brian Nelson, has been a professional chauffeur since 2002 and has ample experience providing a variety of transportation services, as well as chauffeuring brides and wedding parties. Count on the  Nelson Family Limousine in Berlin, Connecticut, for a trusted car and limousine service company. EXPERIENCE Big company limos have high turnover, so consider a small buisness for the best customer service and chauffeurs that have experience with brides. It’s too important of a day to roll the dice on knowledge . NEW VEHICLES Always ask the year of the vehicle you are interested in as limos and party busses of older models are unreliable. If your party is over 10 passengers you will be in the Limo Bus market. Avoid busse s with carpet because it will not be clean on your day. Wood floors mop out and smell fresh. BATHROOMS Bathrooms are hard to f...

Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting times of your life. The natural impulse is to share the excitement with those closest to you—your bridesmaids. While your bridesmaids are genuinely thrilled for you, they may be feeling apprehensive about what being a bridesmaid will mean for them, and how it could change their relationship with you. They don’t want to burst your bubble, though—so we’ll tell you things your bridesmaids secretly wish they could: 1. Don’t forget us! When you have an exciting life change like an engagement, it feels as if you’re the only one to ever experience it. It’s hard not to think (and talk) about your wedding all the time. It’s great to share your plans! Just remember that the color of your cocktail napkins isn’t so critical to your friends that they’ll want to discuss it for your entire coffee date. Remember to ask your friends how they’re doing—and listen, really listen, to their answers—before launching into a lengthy discussion about the ush...

In our over 30 years of experience providing music and entertainment we’ve seen ALOT…. some really unique events, many elegant and classy and some destined for failure before we even got involved. Every Bride wants that fairytale wedding – everything goes off perfectly and you both ride off into the sunset on your Honeymoon. Here are 3 common reception mistakes that you need to know about BEFORE your wedding: No Specific Seating Arrangements The plan is to have everyone sit where they feel comfortable and not at a designated seat.  You may have extra tables and extra room to do so, so why not?  Because, for some strange reason, your guests who are “young at heart” will want to sit right next to the speakers…. and then complain that it’s too loud. Always have a seating plan.  Don’t seat those that are the “young at heart” directly in front of the entertainment. Older generations are at a wedding typically to socialize with their family and friends....

Every year I get a number of calls from brides in “panic”. For one reason or another, they cannot find a DJ entertainer available for their date.  Even worse, I have heard more than few brides say that the DJ they got “through a friend: has disappeared, and left them in the lurch. What makes this even more scarier is that now their choices have gone from “who is the best DJ for them” to being forced to hire whoever may be available. With no time left to research, and with so many other details hanging over them, finding the right DJ will be more about random luck than educated decision. Don’t let this happen to you. The truth is, the best, most popular DJ entertainers will be booked more than six to twelve months in advance, in some cases up to 2 or 3 years. If you begin your entertainment research early enough, and you discover a great entertainer, don’t think that he will be available if you call weeks later. I...

….. and anybody can just play music, right? Wrong! Your DJ is entirely responsible for the smooth flow of your reception. The DJ will be your “Entertainment Director”, who will create & execute the agenda for the entire evening. This role is especially amplified if you are not using the services of a wedding consultant. You will benefit from the experience of a wedding entertainment DJ professional. They will be able to guide you through all formalities, and give you suggestions to make your day unique and unforgettable. A entertainer will use their expertise to incorporate your ideas and suggestions into the program. But don’t just hire a “yes” man. Be sure that the entertainer is giving you the real scoop, and not just telling you what he thinks you want to hear.
