Here are a few of the considerations that you as a consumer of DJ entertainment should
look at prior to making a final decision to hire a DJ service.
Keep in mind that the DJ entertainment is the single most important aspect of your wedding day. You're putting the full responsibility of your guests enjoyment in someone else's hands. You and your quests will remember his or her performance for the rest of your life.
We feel that you would be best served by having two DJ's at your reception. One, a professional em-cee who has the proper communication skills and enthusiasm to motivate a crowd. The other, a professional who is skilled in audio and technical equipment operations to ensure a smooth flow of music. The interaction between the two should create an enjoyable and uplifting atmosphere.
You should be given a very strong say in choosing the music for your wedding. We at Colella Entertainment will send you a musical selection sheet for you to list the type of music and/or specific songs requested. After completing this sheet, we will contact you prior to the wedding to discuss the particular details. This gives us the opportunity to structure the music in relation to the time, events and atmosphere of the wedding.
We feel very strong in making sure that the DJ has all the proper information prior to the day of the wedding. We will send you a reception introduction information form. This enables us to have all the pertinent information necessary to achieve a smooth flowing and non-interrupted reception. We will have a listing of the parents, bridal party, traditional and special events plus additional announcements and general reception information.
In summation, we at Colella Entertainment take great pride in doing our homework prior to the wedding day so that we may make this the most memorable day of your life.
