TWC Tip & Tricks for October 2010

Choosing a DJ / Music for Your Special Event

By Jeff Donovan, DJ On Demand



When you plan an event, a wedding, holiday party, or summer picnic, choose your music wisely. Certain music genres complement specific events. Consider that your DJ will play about 15 songs per hour; so, select songs that flow easily in that timeframe. Talk to them about your selections. Remember they are the professionals and can guide you through this process.

Will you be dancing at your event? Consider that most functions run about 4 hours, so plan for 2-2 ½ hours of dance time. Music can make or break your event, especially dance songs. Upbeat, popular, recognizable songs get people off their chairs onto the dance floor. You can mix slow songs with fast ones to break up the pace, but remember to pick music that brings out the crowd. Think to yourself, is this something that I would go to a club and dance to or is this something that my friends and I would listen to at my house?

Other things to consider are songs specific to certain cultures. You may need to provide your DJ with this music, as they may not be familiar with that genre. Clearly label this CD with the track number and song title to make sure the proper song is played.

Finally, you can use the Internet to find music. Sites such as ITunes, YouTube, Pandora and Grooveshark are perfect ways to listen to songs ahead of time. If you know a couple of lines from the song you can type them into Google and pull up that song. In the ITunes, menu, you can type in IMIX and at that point type “Weddings” which directs you to a site where other people have posted music from their event. The Internet is a great source for gathering ideas and selecting music.

Your DJ’s job is to make your event memorable and enjoyable. A time when everyone can help you celebrate.

DJ On Demand

http://www.djondemand.net/

I started this company in 1997 as a solely owned and operated part-time business. In more than ten years it has evolved into DJ on Demand, a completely functioning, full-time business. Since its inception, the company has provided outstanding personal service and has served as a resource for all customers, colleagues, and aspiring DJs.
I spent many years toiling in unfulfilling jobs and never realized my life-long dream, until I started this company. I began by working part-time, until I was able to build the company into what it is today.

Over the years, I have enjoyed all the memories I have of running events. I have met many wonderful people, shared many laughs, have played great music, and most of all, have made many people very happy.

The most important aspect/feature of my business is that I am flexible and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. From bussing tables, bartending, pouring champagne, to making announcements and playing cds, I have done it all. The event’s success is the most important thing.

I have lived in Denver all of my life and raised my two children here. I continue to raise the bar of expectations for DJ’s by using my background in sales and customer service to provide a uniquely personal and streamlined experience for my clients. I believe that I have proven my worth as a truly professional DJ, and I continue to provide the best service I can to all of my clients.

I have been shooting portraits and special events (including 100 weddings) full time for over 6 years now. I also have a passion for fine art photography, and participate in a few gallery shows around the US every year. Also, as a recent bride myself, I truly love shooting weddings and photograph each one with the care as if it was my own. I form great relationships with each of my clients and often also provide everything from their boudoir to maternity and family portrait sessions.

Floral Design by Linda

Meet our newest charter member Linda

I have been designing flower arrangements and flowers for weddings for years for family and friends. I decided to start my floral business professionally in January of 2009. Although I have made numerous arrangements since starting my business, certainly my passion is for wedding flowers. It is such a joy for me to see the bride on her wedding day, absolutely thrilled with the flowers I have designed for her and the wedding party. My goal is to contribute my part in making their special day wonderfully memorable.
