When my husband and I were looking for wedding DJs, it was really important for us to like the DJ as a person. Some companies we contacted don't allow you to actually meet the person who you hire for the wedding. They just take note of what is ...important to you and select a few people they feel is best fit.
When contacting the Total PKG, we met with Parker directly. He is so personable, funny, and accommodating. He walked us through every step of the process to make sure the energy of our big day (cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing) was exactly what we wanted.
On your wedding day, nerves can really hit you. I had a great sense of ease when thinking about the reception as I knew Parker would take care of everything and ensure our guests are having a great time. He had fantastic energy, played a great variety of music, and got the crowd on their feet dancing all night. My husband's family aren't really dancers yet they were in the dance floor all night. We will cherish those memories forever and have so many funny stories for years to one.
We received so many compliments throughout the evening and weekend that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. Music plays such an IMPORTANT role in yours and your guests experience. If I can offer you any advice to make wedding planning a little easier for you, I leave you with this:
1) Don't cut cost with music. IPods, CDs, computer playlists, etc. are easy and essentially free, but you are taking a personality and a fun experience away from your reception.
2) Pick a DJ you can meet with throught the planning process and make sure it is someone you and your spouse like and get along with. You know, someone who you could see as a friend.
3) GO WITH THE TOTAL PKG!! You will not be disappointed.
