1. Plan ahead. Most Brides begin planning their wedding 9 Months to a year in advance but wait until the last minute to hire a DJ. When you start planning your reception don't forget the most important ingredient to a fun reception, your mobile DJ.

2. Shop for quality. Sometimes easier said than done when the typical bride might not fully understand what "quality" in a mobile DJ service is. The idea is to generally see and evaluate mobile DJs in exactly the same light as you see and evaluate things like hotels, cars, and doctors. Do not assume that all mobile DJ companies are alike. Do assume that high quality will cost more than low quality.

3. Realize the importance of the DJ to your wedding reception's success. National magazine surveys report that happy brides consistently say that the DJ was most responsible for their wedding reception's success. The average percentage of importance they've assigned is 70%. Some people will remember your gorgeous wedding dress. Some people will remember great food, some will remember a beautiful cake. Everybody will remember whether they had a good time or not.

4. Make sure your DJ knows what you want and expect BEFORE your wedding day. Fill out your questionnaire and arm your DJ with as much personal information as you can.

5. Get and check references. Talking to friends, family are a great way to check a DJ service's reputation in your city. Ask your photographer, videographer, caterer, banquet manager about the DJ service you are considering.

6. Ensure that your vision of your wedding day becomes a reality. If those happy brides are even close to right that the entertainment was 70% responsible for the wedding reception's success, then it appears that the DJ's responsibly goes quite a bit further than "just playing music." The best ones understand this and have taken mobile DJ entertainment from a job to an art. That's why they are consistently referred, and are booked 6 months in advance. Don't try to use only your leftover time and spend only your leftover money, or you will probably end up with a leftover DJ.

"We wanted to drop you guys a line to say thank you for all that you have done. Shawn and Michael not only did what you promised, but went above and beyond anything that we thought possible. At the ceremony we asked for a very precise song list and time schedule, which you pulled off flawlessly. And honestly I don't even remember seeing you in there, which is a good thing. We moved to the reception and there was no lapse in time, you guys were there with music playing by the time we got there. You stuck to the list and gave us a day to remember. Shawn you came out and got our guest moving and having fun. All the preplanned stuff IE: Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, Garter removal, Flower toss. went off with out a hitch. And I can honestly say the guest wanted you to stay all night, and keep up the great fun. We have had many family members and friends ask for cards and phone number to get in touch with you for their future parties and weddings. Thank you guys ever so much".

"Your services more than exceeded our expectations. Your availability to both email and meet with us prior to our event made for stress-free planning. We also appreciated your willingness to provide suggestions, yet always reminding us that you were happy to do whatever we wanted. We could not have imagined our wedding reception going any better! We have heard nothing from our friends and family but how much fun they had! We had our doubts about our friends and family participating in the reception fun and were shocked to see our grandparents among many others shaking it on the dance floor. You guys MC'd one awesome party that is still being talked about weeks later! We would recommend A DJ Connection to anyone and will be calling you with any future DJ needs!"

Thanks again!

"I was very impresses with how every aspect of the event was handled. I liked being able to choose the music prior to the party. I also appreciated the edited music and the attention showed to detail when selecting songs requested for their content. I also appreciated the way everything was handled both over the phone and via email. It was a pleasant experience and I will be telling others to use your service. Thank you so much for making her birthday and wonderful experience."

"From the beginning our experience with your company was more than expected. From my interactions over the phone, the use of your website and the actual event, it was better service than I thought possible. I especially appreciate the extent of service since I was planning the wedding from California. If there was a higher rating than excellent as an option, we would have picked that. Ken was amazing. He kept our entire group of all ages entertained and involved. Kept us dancing and having a great time. He gave us an awesome party. Before we knew it, the party was over! Thank you so very much for locating the songs we wanted that were not in your database. We would definitely use your company again and refer you whenever possible."

"Ken was the best DJ we could have asked for at our wedding. He kept things moving, kept people dancing, and kept people having fun. He was awesome! We will definitely be recommending him and A DJ Connection to everyone in the future!"

"Ric did a wonderful job for my wedding. When he contacted me for the first time he made me look forward to the reception and having fun there. He was adaptable at the actual reception (as we had many changes going on throughout the night) and very easy going."
