Selecting the right wedding dj entertainment for your reception is SO incredibly important. It is probably one of if not the most important factors you select for your wedding reception. Think about it, how many times have you left a hall and thought wow that was the best Salmon I ever had? But I am sure you can think of any event you have attended as a guest and cant remember if the DJ entertainment was good or bad for that matter. The question to think through is: Why does the wedding entertainment have such an impact on the course of the evening, and why is it so important?
The NJ Area is one of the most saturated areas in the country with people, and companies with the title DJ. It seems that anywhere you go, you will cross paths with someone who is, has been or knows of a DJ in their family alone. True talented DJ’s are infact few and far between and while many consider themselves DJ’s they fall short of the mark with experience, and ability. What does that mean? Simply put, if you hire a DJ that is not in the top tier of the entertainment spectrum, then your wedding reception will simply miss on its potiental. Entertainment can make or break your wedding and thinking over the investment needed to secure a great banquet hall, fantastic flowers, invatations, the perfect bridal gown and all else needed to make the day happen, Entertainment is one of the lowest priced items on the overall list but still has the greatest impact.
A polished wedding DJ acts not only as a DJ but as an officiant of the scheduling and coordinating. A 4 hour reception goes by very quick when you consider your introduction, 1st dance, parent dances, dinner, cake cutting, specialty dances etc, leaving just a portion of the 4 hours for dancing. If you select an entertainment entity that waits to get the celebration started till after dinner or lacks the ability to get the party started asap, then you loose the time and it is less of an impact at the wedding.
Selecting the right entertainment can impact your photography and videography at the reception, it can be used to create an ambience, or even control the moods during times of the reception, it can be the thing that people remember most about the event. i.e. “We had such a great time, I can’t remember the last time I danced so much, I can’t believe how cute the bride was growing up and oh my god, our picture was even on the TV screens with the Bride and Groom during the reception.”
If you looking into the DJ companies in the Central NJ area, you will find many people that claim to be different, unfortunately, few are. It is really the drive behind the creation of Sound Connection Entertainment.
There are many people who purchase lower end cheaper DJ equipment and claim to be a DJ who have no idea how to run the standard wedding itinerary. Some newer trends on saving money even includes Brides and Grooms that think plugging an Ipod into a rented music system, is the best way to cut down some of the dj expenses. Chances are this type of reception will end with people leaving very early as it seems like a really expensive dinner party.
If you consider some more of the responsibilities of a Wedding Reception DJ, you will see that there are many more things or ways a polished experienced DJ can asset your celebration. From coordinating with the hall or caterer, to notifing guests of an annoucment, or even more importantly keeping the spotlight on the newlyweds rather then anything else.
The success of your wedding reception can be looked at by the amount of people dancing, also by how long your guests stay and enjoy themselves with what you have provided them. It is common for us to recieve praise on the spot from guests attending, but is is more common for the Bride and Groom to hear “This was the best wedding ever”, “Everything was excellent”, or even “We are having such a great time we dont want it to end”.
If you are looking to create a wedding reception you have always dreamed of, or that guest will continue to talk about for years to come, please give us a call as we at Sound Connection Entertainment understand the importance of outstanding entertainment.
