In Detail:

fun wedding dance
Thank you for your interest in what OCCASIONS Disc Jockeys offers for your wedding reception.  We can provide you with a traditional format and suggestions for all aspects of the day; or we would be just as happy to work with you to customize the day to be exactly the way you want it.  Our preparation before your wedding day includes a thorough questionnaire that covers everything from who is in the Bridal Party and all the important dances to introducing your family and the type of music played while the guests arrive.  You can view them on our website so you can see the preparation that goes into each wedding before we arrive to perform.  Once you have hired us, we will give you a password so you can fill out our forms online or download printable copies of our paperwork to fill out.  This information is reviewed by your DJ about six weeks before your wedding.

motivating wedding reception
We keep the day moving smoothly by working closely with the people helping to make your reception a success -- the photographer / videographer, the wedding coordinator, catering director, and everyone in the Bridal Party.  Our sound system fits inconspicuously into any room to maintain a formal decor.  We dress and act with the highest regard for your day.  Our DJ's wear tuxedos and keep all announcements tasteful.  While the guests are arriving, we will create a pleasant atmosphere by playing soft background music. This is important to make the guests feel welcome and relaxed.   People will be put at ease walking into a room with music playing.  We receive many compliments about our music played as background. When the Bridal Party arrives, we will organize everyone for the big entrance.  We then have the toast, blessing, dinner (with more background music), and cake cutting (with preparation time for all the cameras).

wedding agenda
The last part of the reception begins with the four traditional dances -- Bride / Groom, Bride / Father, Groom / Mother, and the entire Bridal Party (don't let anyone worry about dancing in the spotlight - the guests will remember how impressive everyone looked, not how well they danced).  A list of some popular slow songs is available to help you choose songs for these dances and create the perfect mood for the entire night.  Then we include the optional events like the Garter / Bouquet Toss and the Dollar Dance.  We finish the night with a party -- dancing and good music.  Because weddings are our specialty, we will have a wide variety of music so your parents, grandparents, nieces / nephews, and friends will all hear something they like and nothing that will offend them (later, as the older guests leave or sit to talk, we can play music for the party people).  Of course, this traditional schedule is very flexible and dependent on your preferences.

master of ceremonies
Our goal is to have a crowded dance floor.  The focus should be on you and having fun, not on the DJ.  We will let the music play and your friends dance without interruptions.  By using our experience and reading the crowd, we can keep the dance floor full without a lot of annoying gags or one-liners.  We are willing to work with you in advance to prepare the playlist, or our music library and experience can be our guide for the song selections.  We stay strictly within any guidelines you arrange in advance concerning the music.  We will work very hard to accommodate your special requests.  Your DJ will review all the information you provide us and talk with you to confirm, change, and make any additions you need as a final preparation for your day.

The contracted times are for our performance.  The setup and tear-down are included in the price.  We are available for overtime without a penalty charge added to the overtime rate.  In most cases we only require $200 of the total as a retainer with our contract to confirm your date.  The balance is due 10 days prior to the reception.

wedding ceremony

In addition to providing great entertainment for you reception, we are also available to perform at your wedding ceremony.  Of course, we are available for any function - holiday parties, birthdays, dances, anniversaries, reunions, etc.  There will be continuous music throughout the night - we don't take breaks.  Your DJ will be a wedding expert.  We do not use "B" Class DJ's or DJ's-In-Training for your special day.  You will only get the best from OCCASIONS.  We will work with you extensively in advance to thoroughly prepare for one of the most important days of your life.   If you have seen one our DJ's perform, and were impressed, we have an option to reserve a specific DJ.  If you are still considering other types of services for your wedding - like caterer or photographer - we have some links.

wedding reception dance floor
OCCASIONS Disc Jockeys will provide the high quality, worry-free reception you want.  We are a small, independent, local company run for a living, not a hobby.  We have 4 great DJ's who focus on weddings.  We will work with you extensively in advance to thoroughly prepare for one of the most important days of your life.  We can easily accommodate long-distance wedding planning through telephone, mail and e-mail.
Please confirm your requested date as soon as possible by contacting us with your date, times, and location.

HOW TO BOOK OCCASIONS: First, check our availability and make sure that your requested date is still available.  We will hold your date for you until you can get the contract and retainer to us.  You can print our contract from our web page or ask us to mail you a contract.  Do not worry if you are not 100% certain of the start and stop times.  Those can be changed later.  If you would like to schedule a free, no obligation consultation before you book, please contact us.


Best wishes and thank you for considering OCCASIONS for your wedding reception.
