Travel Time

With recent traffic patterns the way they are we are forced to leave so much earlier these days to ensure that we arrive 2 hours prior to the start of any wedding. While it typically only takes us 30 minutes for setup, it is our practice to never create a stressful situation for our clients or our DJs . By padding our travel time we eliminate any possibility of a late arrival. For this reason we now find it necessary to add a $250.00 travel surcharge for any long distance weddings that would have us on the road for 90 minutes or more.

**For DJ Dan McCarthyadd $200 to the base price

With a moderate to larger bridal party it is best to use 2 songs. One for the Bridal Party and one for the Bride. Normally,  the Groom and his Best Man, The Officiant and the Groomsmen will walk down and stand in place to whatever music is playing. The formal music will start immediately following with the first group walking. This can start with parents or bridesmaids. The last person to walk down the aisle before the Bride is normally either the Maid of Honor or Flower Girls.

Music Choices that we suggest

• Canon in D by the O'Neil Bros
• A Thousand Years - Piano Guys
• Edelweiss by the O'Neil Bros.
• Feather Theme from Forrest Gump
• Perfect Instrumental - Piano Guys
• Can't Help Falling In Love - Vitamin String Quartet
• Wonderful Tonight - Vitamin String Quartet
• Just The Way You Are - Piano Guys

I now pronounce you Husband and Wife , you may kiss the Bride. You may also pick a memorable tune to walk out to. Here are some fine choices we think work quite well :

Imagine Dragons - Top of the World
Phillip Phillips - Gone, Gone, Gone
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes - Home
Hall and Oates - You Make My Dreams Come True
Vitamin String Quartet - Sweet Child O Mine
The Beatles - All You Need is Love
Ray LaMontagne - You Are The Best Thing
Michael Franti - Life Is Better With You
Happy Together - The Turtles 

This is normally a time when you can play music that is “snappy”. By that we mean music that has a bit of a beat to it. There are many different approaches you can take for your cocktail hour.

Here are a few selections that you can choose from:

Rat Pack Theme: Who better than Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to welcome your guests as the arrive at the function facility. Michael Buble`adds the modern flair to this theme.

Oldies Theme: At a recent wedding, a couple told us that they didn’t want a whole lot of oldies during the course of their reception, but could we play nothing but oldies for the cocktail hour. Well that resulted in one of the best cocktail hours we have done in years. Fun, toe-tapping oldies but goodies had people singing their way to their seats.

Light Alternative Music: A good mix of artists such as John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews.

R&B: A great hour of R&B Artists like Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder just to name a few.

Modern Acoustic Music : Would recreate that cool sound of having someone playing an acoustic guitar during your cocktail hour. Lighter cover  versions of some very cool songs

Straight Jazz: This is a great idea when having your wedding in a very elegant setting. This theme would be mostly instrumental for the first 20 minutes and then we would mix in some vocal hits for the remainder of the hour.

While cocktail music can be fun and dinner music enjoyable, it is the dance music at a wedding that contributes the most to it’s overall success. At DM Productions, we have always used the dance floor as a type of “barometer” to judge how we are doing. Our goal has always been to have the dance floor be full from the time the dinner ends until the end of the reception. The difference between having a good dance floor and a great dance floor boils down to song selection, the timing of those songs , and the mood of the audience.

So…now you want to know how you can achieve a “GREAT” dance floor?

Here’s a few simple tips:

• Prepare a list of songs that you truly believe a good amount of your guests will enjoy dancing to. Very often, couples place requests on their list that are not considered strong dance songs. Remember that songs that are played on the radio are played with no regard for holding a dance floor. Ask your friends about a song you’re not sure of. Would you dance to it?
• Limit the number of dance requests. Keep in mind that for a 5 hour wedding reception, the most dance time you will have is 2 ½ to 3 hours. That’s about 45-50 songs. We recommend your list not exceed 30-35. This will allow your DJ 15-20 songs that he knows works to “glue” your requests together. Some of the best weddings we have done were for couples that gave us a short list and said “Do what you do best”.
• Ask your DJ to critique your list. By getting an honest assessment of your request list, your DJ could point out any songs on your dance list that could potentially “bomb”. If you want a packed dance floor like we do, it’s important to recognize any potential songs that may clear the dance floor. The only time that normally ever happens to us is when we are playing something off a couple’s list that we wouldn’t ordinarily play.
