Karaoke Fun

Interested in karaoke?  Think you're the next hot thing and want to be on American Idol?  Try you skills using this FREE website - www.karaokeparty.com   Want to host your own karaoke party?  Contact us.


Portable Espresso Bar

I'm really not into coffee.  I'd prefer a Mountain Dew or Monster personally, but my wife just can't do without her specialty coffee or espresso in the morning.  If you're like her, why not bring that love of coffee with our portable espresso bar for your next corporate event or wedding?

 

Email us for availability, information and pricing.  We'll need to know your event date, location, number of guests and how many hours you'll need the espresso bar open in order to give you exact pricing.


Be Careful Which Wedding Vendors You Hire

With the state of the economy, it's even more important to know as much as possible about whom you are hiring for your wedding vendors.  The past few years, we've seen many banquet facilities close up over night and leave couples scrambling for a new venue for their wedding.

Clearly, your choice in photographers, videographers and disc jockeys need some scrutiny as well.  How long have they been in business?  Are they a 1 man operation?  Are they advertising or did you find them at a bridal show?  (Any company that does not have a website or has no advertising and relies strictly by word of mouth - this is a good indication that they might not even be in business by the time your wedding comes around).  Many new upstart companies - disc jockeys and photographers especially, will never make it to their 1 year anniversary.  photographers or disc jockeys that have not updated their equipment in recent past - this is also a warning sign.

Know what you are getting.  Get everything in writing.  Pay deposits by credit card for some added security and protection. We expect that 2009 will be a rough year for many wedding vendors who are already struggling to survive.  Just as we expect many stores to close in the new year, we also expect 2009 to mark the end of many careers as disc jockeys, photographers and videograhers.  Only the strong will survive.  Buyer beware.

Would you believe that 2008 was one of our best years ever?  Our business is thriving and 2009 looks to be just as good for us.  We have positioned ourselves properly in this tough economy and we will be here for many years to come.

Paypal

Paying for your DJ just became easier.  Don't know what to do with your beenie baby collection or that old exercise bike?  Sell it on Ebay and collect your money through paypal.  Who would have known that an old box of GI Joes would be worth $250? 

The DJ Network members all accept Paypal as a payment option.  You can pay your deposit out of your paypal account or make small payments each month to pay down your balance.  Or you can sell off all your childhood memories and pay for your wedding without coming up with a dime out of pocket.  Either way you look at it - paypal is a great way to securely send money to anyone. 

If you are interested in using paypal to secure or make payments for our services, please email us and we can direct you on how you can use paypal.

The $600 DJ - Ten Reasons To Hire A Pro

So, you've been out shopping for a DJ and with the assumption that every DJ is pretty much alike, you find someone that is 1/2 the price of other area DJs.  What a bargain.

Here is what you might expect from them:

  1. They will probably not return your calls when you're frantically trying to reach them 2 weeks before your wedding

  2. Your first dance?  That will be the one song they were meaning to get, but they didn't get around to it.  Would you like to dance to something else?

  3. They have a website - but it's been under construction for months and when it comes online, there really isn't much more than a photo and a couple sentences worth of content.

  4. They will hide their cheap poor quality gear behind a large self-promoting sign at your wedding.

  5. Their computer will lockup during your dance with your father.  No backup - so please wait 5 minutes while he reboots.

  6. Wireless microphone?  Yeah, it works, but you have to be standing right next to the DJ. All you hear is crackling when you try and use it at the head table for your toast.

  7. The DJ that had 10 years experience won't be the one who shows up to your wedding - it will be his 16 year old son.

  8. Please be sure to stand right in front of the DJ speakers if you want to hear what is being said over the microphone.  He has his 15 year old speakers placed on the ground and not on speaker stands.

  9. Tux?  Isn't a shirt and tie close enough?

  10. Oh, you said you DIDN'T want to hear the Electric Slide?  He thought your guests would like it as well as all the other songs that you told him NOT to play.


Your Name In Lights / Custom Gobo Designs

Best Honeymoon Getaway Ideas   By Low Jeremy

Planning for your honeymoon getaway? Here are some ideas you can consider that will surely provide you the best honeymoon experience:

· Top-of-the-line Hotel Honeymoon

After the guests have left, it is time for both of you two enjoy each other. Book at one of the top-of-the-line hotels you can find whether on your area or at one of the best places in the world. There is surely a great difference between staying at top hotels and staying at a regular hotel. Top hotels have bigger, cleaner, and luxurious room. The staffs are more accommodation and are ready to provide their services to your satisfaction. The foods are carefully prepared. All these you can get if you decide to spend your honeymoon in one of the top hotels. (READ MORE)
