Blake Kritzberg asked:


Wedding couples are frustrated. DJs are frustrated. There’s a disconnect here. But what exactly is the problem?

It depends on who you ask. DJs continually wonder why brides and grooms treat the mobile DJ — the type who lugs around his equipment to show up at big events and weddings — as a commodity. In other words, couples price-shop ruthlessly, as if any given DJ were interchangeable with the rest.

Paul Arnett (http://www.mybigdaydj.co.uk), a Yorkshire DJ and NADJ (National Association of Disc Jockeys) member who organizes the UK’s Mobile DJ Show North event (http://www.djshownorth.co.uk), puts the problem like this: “Well, your average couple spends hours deliberating over the dress. You hand-pick the caterers. You pore over flowers and sweat over the florist. You spend hours choosing just the right venue and church — not to mention the time spent on favors.’

“But then, you go out and hire a DJ because he’s ten dollars cheaper than the next one. Or he’s a friend of your brother’s, or he does Tuesdays at the local bar. You might never even see him work, check out his equipment, or meet with him personally to make sure he’s suitable.”

Most couples handle every other major item in their budget differently. You don’t choose one venue over another because it costs a hundred dollars less. Few brides with a budget to work with buy their cakes from the discount grocery store, even though that cake (slathered in tubs of “BetterCream” frosting) would be much cheaper than one from the designer bakery downtown. Instead, they investigate. They take pictures. They taste-test amaretto fillings and hors d’oeuvres. And eventually, they settle on the vendor who seems poised to deliver the best experience to their guests.

– Why Is It So Different With DJs?

Part of the answer is an image problem, says Paul. “People perceive that most mobile DJs will turn up fifteen minutes ahead of time, with a couple of speakers and some cheesy circa-1970’s light screens, and play ‘Agadoo’ all night.” (For we lucky few who haven’t heard it, the 1984 song Agadoo frequently charts as “the worst song of all time.”)
___________________________________________________________________
We all feel confident identifying an excellent meal or a sublime dessert. But few of us feel comfortable evaluating DJs in the same way. We know that a good one can “get the party started,” but we’re not sure how to tell a good one from a bad one.

Some people think so poorly of DJs, they prefer to eliminate them entirely, soundtracking the dance portion of the night with iPods or laptops. This isn’t easy — it requires you to rent expensive sound equipment, find someone to mind the iPod, possibly buy insurance, and somehow get around or ignore the technical issues, like the inevitable three second delay between songs you get on an iPod. And yet some people find that preferable to risking the “Agadoo” or “Chicken Dance” scenario on their Big Day.

An iPod might well be better than a bad DJ. But the DJ is a key part of your five-hour reception, and some of them are very good indeed.

– When She Was Good, She Was Very Very Good

Perhaps it’s hard for the average bride and groom to grasp the difference between a green DJ with low-end equipment, and a seasoned one who knows how to transform shy and retiring Clark Kents into dance floor superheros.

The first may be nothing more than a glorified CD changer. He may or may not have a firm grasp of the different musical needs that accompany standard reception rituals, like the cake cutting or the father/daughter dance. He may lug in his entry-level Peavy subwoofers and arrange his sound system in ways that ignore your venue’s peculiarities.

The second may have emceed hundreds of weddings. Along the way, he’s developed something subtle but important known as voice and personality — not an imitation of some radio host’s, but his own. He doesn’t practice on your wedding; he brings his skills to it, along with a top-of-the-line sound system, which he’ll arrange differently depending on factors like whether or not your venue is broken up into several chambers (the cocktail lounge and the banquet area, for example).

If he’s a gearhead, he might even offer specialty lighting abilities you might not think of, such as the ability to shine gobos on the dance floor — gobos being customized templates that display things like your wedding monogram. Some DJs even offer giant video screens and live replays of key points in the reception.

But the most important skills a good DJ will bring to your wedding is a honed personality, a formal-friendly image, and an absolute mastery of what gets crowds on their feet.

Okay, so you get it. You understand that not all DJs are alike, and that a good one brings as much your wedding as any premium florist or baker. So how do you find him?

– Choose DJs that Take Their Job Seriously

Skip the part-timers — they’re still learning the ropes, and they’ll be practicing on your wedding. Instead, look for full-timers who show their commitment to the profession by belonging to professional DJ associations such as CPDJA, ADJA,

A wedding is ideally a once in a lifetime event. Everything must go according to plan and all invited guests must feel like they are part of the event. The role of entertainment comes in here. A wedding DJ in Toronto must read the mood of the event and play accordingly. The DJ gives events a beat to follow, so that each event flows smoothly into the next.
___________________________________________________________________

Overlooking entertainment is tantamount to pulling the carpet from beneath a butler carrying the finest, yet most delicate crockery. In the Toronto wedding industry, enlisting a DJ is a vote for professionalism, creativity, skill and quality. The flexibility of such DJs is unrivalled, allowing the incorporation of client desires. After all, the day belongs to the bride and groom.

Whenever possible, choose DJs that offer Master of ceremony (MC) services. Such people are conversant with wedding programmes, from the highest level to the smallest detail. Since they are constantly speaking, they build and maintain a rapport with the audience. This gives a participatory role to the people, giving them a say concerning what they want to hear. This leads to the next point.

With a wedding DJ in Toronto, any music genre is available, depending on the mood. If it is time for the newly weds to set the ball rolling with a slow dance, or time to shake off the effects of a heavy reception meal with a bit of reggae, these DJs have well updated databases.

Musically speaking, technology has come a long way. The equipment used by many a wedding DJ in Toronto assures impeccable sound quality, irrespective of location (indoor or outdoor) love-song-quote Toronto Wedding Entertainmentand room size. With them, the effect of piped music is easily achievable, each unit having its own transformer. This eliminates problems of attenuation, a factor other DJs constantly grapple with. Despite the expensive equipment, the DJ outfits do not levy any insurance cost on the client. All the client has to do is indicate the venue well beforehand. The DJs involved also come with specialized lighting to give excitement and drama to a marriage ceremony. Haze machines for the first wedding dance, streamer cannons and dry ice are just a few of the extra services on offer.

The aspect that prevents people form getting the right entertainment package is restrictive costs. With any wedding DJ in Toronto, prices are competitive. Every outfit is ready to outdo the competition by offering better services at affordable prices. Regardless of the depth of one’s pocket, there is a package to suit any plan, from simple and small to lavish and large.

Visiting websites allows prospective clients a peek into what the organization is all about, services rendered, packages and honest, independent client testimonials expressing their views. Quotes are offered free of charge as a sign of the organization’s goodwill. As most DJ outfits have more than twelve years experience, Toronto DJs are the best option. With a wedding DJ in Toronto, a wedding day gets all the poignancy it deserves.

A Computerized DJ or a Computer DJ based in Ontario, Mississauga, Toronto or any other part of Canada is a Disc Jockey who uses a computer, mostly laptops to play digital music. The music is usually .mp3 or .wav encoded audio music files played to a public crowd. Some common DJ entertainer software programs include Traktor DJ Studio, Ableton Live, Torq, PCDJ, Virtual DJ/Numark Cue, Scratch live, Deckadance, Ultramixer and djay. A good example of computer DJs are the majority of professional Toronto DJs, the best among them being Toronto wedding DJs.

Professional Toronto DJs are among the world’s best and are taking this DJ business into new dimensions. They even have Toronto wedding DJ services. When one books a Toronto wedding DJ they are booking a whole entertainment suite that will cater for all the wedding entertainment services from the beginning to the end. Toronto wedding DJs are some of the most Professional Toronto DJs due to the challenges they face in adapting to different wedding scenarios. The best Toronto wedding DJs are organized into formal registered DJ associations. So what other technology does the Toronto wedding DJ use to be ranked among the best?

The Professional Toronto DJs usually use MIDI controllers with laptops to give them a better interface and control of DJ Software since the controllers provide physical controls like those found on any typical DJ mixer. Soundcard audio interfaces and external hard disk drives are also often used. The majority of the DJ entertainer PC programs allow integration and manipulation of external audio inputs encouraging many Professional Toronto DJs who previously only used CDs or Vinyl or to integrate laptops with other setups. This especially goes well with Toronto wedding DJs who have to integrate some old analogue church systems to their advanced digital systems.

Professional Toronto DJs also use packages based on the Linux operating systems. These Linux DJ entertainer party packages include the following. BeatForce is a DJ system designed for 2 players having independent mixers, samplers, playlists and song databases among other features. BpmDj is an extremely interesting program set for Linux DJ. DBMix is a DJ audio mixer system. DJ Krazy is a CD/MP3 mixer for Linux DJ. DJPlay is a DJing Linux application. Final Scratch is a pro-audio system by Stanton Magnetics. GDAM (Geoff and Dave’s Audio Mixer), is a new Linux DJ mixer. These digital DJ systems are real party packages providing the best of DJ entertainments and a serious Professional DJ should own at least two.

The professional Toronto DJs are organized into DJ entertainment companies which provide various DJ entertainment MC services. The top quality Toronto DJ entertainment services provided include weddings, fund raisers, corporate functions, school functions, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, communions, confirmations, bar mitzvahs and private parties. These professional Toronto DJs and MCs service companies even plan other event thrillers like party games and other party packages thus are not exclusive to DJ services only. The Toronto wedding DJ is the professional Toronto DJ to call for one’s wedding events, dollar dances, garter auctions and/or bouquet tosses.

Rafi Michael asked:


A wedding DJ is all about merry making, having fun and being happy and it is therefore important that a couple identifies a wedding DJ in Toronto that can add flavor to their ceremony. Choosing a Dee Jay for the wedding is one of the best parts of planning, since most Disc Jockeys are outgoing, pleasant and accommodating. Many couples debate over choosing a band or a DJ but most settle for a Dee Jay because bands are more expensive while the latter are relatively inexpensive and flexible.

A wedding DJ in Toronto has great experience and has been in the same business for a long time. Such a Disc Jockey has prepared many ceremonies and can even double up as the Emcee/MC if the couple so wishes. They are very flexible and work to ensure an interesting atmosphere by combining a wide selection of background music and dance music that guests cannot resist to stand and dance.

A professional is open to requests made by the couple and their guests. They have a large music collection, which is varied to accommodate different age groups, tastes and preferences. These professionals help the couple pick out their music for the entire event. They go the extra mile to work with the couple or the bride especially to pick the song for their first dance.

Any wedding DJ in Toronto needs to be reserved early, to avoid disappointment caused by last minute booking. Couples getting married need to find out if the DJ is available for their ceremony and to verify the number of playing hours that will be provided.

Most Dee Jays provide their clients with a contract that shows how many hours of service are offered, if travel and set up time are included and how early the DJ will be expected to set up. The contact also shows if there are any extra charges to be expected to avoid a misunderstanding after the event. The wedding DJ in Toronto prepares adequately for the event to make sure everything goes well. Preparation involves consultations with the clients to go through the nuptial plans, order of events and time lines. They also purchase and edit the music in advance, set up and tear down equipment, while working with other vendors to make the day a success.

A professional Disk Jockey in the city will not use just any equipment for the event. Most of them have state of the art equipment that produces clear sound without screeches or interruptions. They are flexible and accommodating and can provide basic lighting for dancing or even wireless mics for use during speeches. These professionals provide their clients with contacts to be reached at all times. This is comforting for most wedding couples to know they can get in touch with their DJ and clarify something without being charged additional costs. On the subject of costs, the wedding is a one time event that should be planned without leaving anything to chance. Having a professional wedding, DJ in Toronto that that delivers to the couples’ satisfaction, is therefore worth whatever price charged.
