Master of Ceremonies Information

We spend a lot of time before your wedding day preparing the music and finding out about the schedule. You can completely customize what you want to include and what you don't want to include in the day. The same goes for the music. You can request as many songs as you want and request that certain songs are not played. If you fill out our price quote form, we will set up an account for you so that you can see our complete Master of Ceremonies forms - without obligation. We will show you small sections of it here to give you an idea of how extensive and complete they are.

One of the most exciting parts of the day is the introductions of the bridal party and the bride and groom. We want to know the correct pronunciations of everyone, the order they will be in, and the background songs to be played. But we don't stop there. The day of the wedding, the DJ will personally come out to where the bridal party is and make sure that everyone is in the same order that he will introduce and will verify with each person that he is saying their complete name correctly. He will take a moment and prep anyone giving a toast on how to sound better, and confirm with the couple everything that will happen before the meal is served.

Here are the details our forms go over with each couple using sample names of "Lisa" and "Matt" (my wife and me!)

They are a fun alternative to a guest book. While the last tables are waiting for their meal or the first tables to eat are waiting for what's next, they can fill out these cards, and we'll collect them to let you enjoy as a keepsake from the wedding.

Occasionally, someone asks us to help with a surprise for the couple. Our first priority is to provide the day that you planned. Therefore, we are obligated to ask you if someone can surprise you (ruining the surprise). If there is someone else that you will allow us to check in with about a surprise, please enter their name and contact information (email or phone). We will ONLY use this information if a surprise is requested. If this is blank, we will ask you to approve a surprise if asked.

Tell us something about you - each of you individually, and you together. We don't want to just show up DJ a wedding for a name. We want to learn something about the people getting married - favorite sports team, recent vacation, hobbies, interests, favorite book, album, etc.

Your DJ will call you the week of your wedding to confirm these details (you can call with questions or concerns anytime).
