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.

So exactly who wants to hear 2 hours of Kenny G or instrumental jazz fusion at their wedding for social hour and dinner? Sure, there are those that want to set that tone, but you don't have to play a "standard mix of jazz favorites" at your wedding.

Imagine how different things would feel at your wedding if during social hour, you played a mix of Jimmy Buffett (READ MORE)

Should I let a friend videotape my wedding?
 
I was recently at a wedding where, during the ceremony, there were probably 7-8 people crowding around the bride and groom. Each person was armed with a palmcorder or handycam, jocking for a good spot and nearly pushing the photographer, a paid professional, and myself out of the way. She, the photographer, had to kindly inform someone that she was getting paid and had to ask them to move. I noticed that over half of the seated guests were pointing either digital cameras or cell phones at the bride and groom and, even though the ceremony was outside, on a sunny day, the repeated auto-flashes, strobing and beeping was enough to cause a headache.   (READ MORE)

Why a bunch of boys wanted to run around a field and hit each other while chasing a pig never made much sense.  (READ MORE)

Though your guests will already know that you care about them simply because you thought enough of them to want to share this special day with them, wedding favors give an additional touch of thoughtfulness. They don't have to be a major item or an expensive one. Something small but meaningful as a memento of the day is all that is needed.  (READ MORE)
