Working With A Wedding Band

I had the unique opportunity to work with a band recently.  Most times as a DJ, when we work with a band, we act as Master of Ceremonies and the band just plays sets of music between our sets of music.  This time, I was just providing an LCD projector and screen as a rental to the client.  There was no DJ at this wedding.

The band sounded great and their mix of music was not bad.  As a DJ, if I were to play a song then leave a 2 minute gap between the end of one song and the start of the next, people would look at me funny and wonder what the technical problem was.  (READ MORE)

More Than Just A DJ - The DJ Network can handle just about any style and size event that you are looking to set to music or lights.  Recently, we had the opportunity to provide music for the Holyoke Fireworks on the Holyoke Community College campus- with thousands of onlookers and rave reviews on MASSLIVE.COM, The DJ Network set the tone for the evening.  We also had the opportunity to provide background music for a local pharmaceutical company's picnic with over 4,000 attending this onsite event. 

If background music is not what you're looking for - see what we can do with sound, light and video as shown at one of our recent video dance parties.  VIDEO CLIP  

We can help you create the perfect setting using lighting, video and music for your next event.  Contact us today for a FREE NO OBLIGATION QUOTE.
