Do you like the owner of the DJ company you’re considering for your wedding? If not, move on. DJ integrity is paramount to a successful wedding. The first vibe you pick up from a company is often telling.
Trust your instincts.
Don’t look back. Wedding celebrations are special. And entertainment makes the event. If there is something about the personality of the owner of a DJ company company that just doesn’t sit right with you, find someone else.
For the record, that includes me!
Chemistry is important at weddings. Your DJ company has a disproportionate impact on the success of your event. Choose carefully, beginning with an assessment of how well you LIKE and TRUST the owner.
Now how do you do that? You need to make some sort of personal contact.
You can’t do that if you’re merely filling out a form on a website and hitting send. Yes, we’ve got awesome forms right here on our own website. They’re a start. But better yet, pick up the phone and call.
Do you get a real, live person on the phone?
If not, how quickly do you get a call back?
And here is the key: how well do they come across on the phone? Are they warm and friendly? Do they listen? Do they come across like they care about your event? Even more, are they excited about your event? Or do you get the sense that they look at you merely as a paycheck?
As wonderful as modern technology is, it does you no favors by de-personalizing the wedding planning process. Don’t let that happen to you. Pick up the phone and call us at 931-261-0663 . We’d love to talk to you about your event.
Better yet, set up a time to meet in person. This is the ultimate way for you to get to know the person who can make or break your event. This is the ultimate way for you to gauge their integrity. And DJ integrity is everything.
One of the greatest speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address (re-enacted in the video above), took but two minutes to deliver. And yet a recent bride writing to an advice columnist mentioned that her future in-laws gave a 20 minute wedding ‘speech,’ a real no-no. Even Martin Luther King’s iconic “I Have a Dream”…
Every state has a favorite music genre. So does every generation. And so does every couple. What’s yours?

Discussions on how to give a wedding toast typically focus on younger couples in their twenties or early thirties. Young love is especially passionate, often reflected in the toasts themselves. But what about a wedding toast for an older couple? Is there anything different about them? To be clear, passion isn’t strictly the domain of…
Netflix released another wedding-themed movie, Mother of the Bride, starring Brooke Shields. It follows right on the heals of Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan, released just a few months earlier. Although wedding movies can be endlessly fun, Mother of the Bride was haltingly boring. The premise: Emma (Miranda Cosgrove) springs on her mom, Lana, (portrayed…

Should a wedding invitation be viewed as an invoice?

Some wedding couples grouse that their cost per wedding guest is x dollars each, so the gift they receive…
Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren are two of the biggest music stars of the era. Nonetheless, a long dead rock legend headlines the list of top first dance songs of 2023. Yes, Elvis Presley’s 1961 hit love song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” knocked Ed Sheeren’s “Perfect” off the top of the list, according to…
