Getting Started

Choose a date:
Select a time of the year that suits your event properly. It’s important you choose a date or specific time on that date that will not conflict with other events that might hinder the attendance of your guests. Most events take place on a Saturday and at a time of the year when the weather is most pleasant.

Create a guest list:
Selecting your guest list is a task within itself. First, choose the maximum number of guests you’d like to invite. Then select the people you want to invite. Many times guest lists get long, so try to limit your list to family, business related people, close friends, and anyone important to you.

Select a location and venue:
Be certain the location and venue you select can properly service your event and especially the number of guests you plan to invite.The location should be in an area easy to find and not too far away for most of your guests to travel.

Invitations:
Select the style of invitation that is best associated with your event theme. A more casual, and much less expensive approach, is an e-mail invitation (i.e. www.evite.com). Send out your invitations at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your event date. Wedding invitations are traditionally sent out about 6 weeks prior to the event date.

Choose your entertainment:
This is critical! The entertainment can make or break the success of your event. Consider a DJ as your master of ceremonies. They are the person with the microphone and the person that provides the musical entertainment throughout the event. So, choose your DJ very carefully.

Services:
Other than music entertainment, additional services that might be appropriate or necessary at your event, including photographer, videographer, florist, caterer, event planner, and a rental company (tables, chairs, etc.), just to name a few. Visit our party store for ideas to make your party a success.

Beverages:
Decide if you want to have food and beverages at your event. Sometimes a caterer can make the difference and cause you less anxiety!

Decorations:
Depending on the theme of your event and the venue, decorations may or may not be needed. Just remember, whatever the event, decorations are a nice addition to the surroundings.

Budget:
Write down all of the services you require making this event happen. Start by contacting 3 or 4 of each type of service to get an average price, so you know what you are going to need to budget for that particular service. Once you get a better idea of the costs per service, then you can set your budget within each area and get a good idea of what the entire event is going to cost. So, our overall advice here is outlining your event in detail from start to finish… Start with most anything, pre-planning is the key.

Frustrated? No time? Hire a professional! Many times it’s easier and more time-manageable to hire a professional event planner for your event. An event planner can cover all aspects of your event and take most of the stress and responsibilities away so you can enjoy your event before, during and after.

Pricing:
We will work with you to decide on a pricing that works best with your budget. We don’t believe there is a one price for all package that meets the needs of every client. For some, a DJ and a two speaker digital sound system and basic music library fits perfectly. Others may want additional event coordination, extended music library and the ability to create their own custom playlist. The music that will be played reflects your personality and we only play the music you want to hear. Contact us to discuss pricing and your ideas so that we can customize the venue to the specifications you want. We Play the Music You Want to Hear!
