Philosophy

When compared with other wedding and special event disc jockeys and emcees,

I provide unparalleled, first class, customized service.

This is evident in my post reception surveys.

I take the responsibility I am entrusted with VERY seriously and it shows.

Experienced:

I have been a professional wedding disc jockey since 1989. I began my career in radio and found that I truly enjoyed the mobile side of the business so I made weddings and other special events my career focus. In my previous radio work in Colorado Springs, I was named “Colorado Major Market Evening Disc Jockey of the Year”, 2000, 2001, 2005, and nominated 2002. With my background in radio, I have the skills needed to deliver announcements at events that areclear and direct.

 

Personalized:

I take the time to get to know my clients through personal meetings (usually 2-3 prior to each event). I will meet with you at your home or location of your choice, at a time that is convenient for you, or conduct the planning via phone or e-mail, based on your request. A large part of my service is the assistance with the planning and the coordination of ceremonies and receptions. I am not “the wedding planner”, but I know entertainment events from an entertainer’s perspective. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy your day. I ensure this is possible by spending as much time as is necessary with you learning what is important to you on your special day.

I use a seven page wedding planner that I have personally developed over the years to make sure that all the right questions are asked prior to the event and to be certain that every detail, in my control, is executed exactly as you wish.

 

I am a single unit operator.

When you book my service, you get me. My name is on the contract. I am not a professional salesperson, selling you on an event and then sending someone else out to DJ your event. I am your disc jockey. Over the years, my clients have told me that they found this comforting.

 

Professional:

I have put my company standards in writing as part of our contract. This ensures that I am accountable for my behavior. I do not drink alcohol at events and I maintain the highest level of professionalism at all times.

 

Music:

I have an extensive knowledge of music and the experience to know what to play (in accordance with your wishes) to keep the party moving. Whether it is on the dance floor or during a special portion of the evening, like the cutting of the cake, I play requests at your direction. I play the types of music that you ask to hear. This is established, in detail, during our planning meetings. What you do not want me to play is equally as important to me as your specific requests.

 

Attire:

I wear a full tuxedo unless otherwise specified by you. I feel my appearance should be a representation of you.

 

Fees:

With my service,there are no hidden charges. You do not pay for travel time, set up or tear down time, or an overnight stay at a hotel room…only performance time.

I include a wireless microphone for toasts and speeches. I always bring two full sets of equipment to every event. Many times I will have a set-up for the ceremony site and a separate set-up for the reception site so we can move seamlessly from the ceremony, to cocktails, to dinner with no breaks in the music.

 

Reliability:

On your wedding day, you need to know that everything will go smoothly. This depends heavily on the reliability of your vendors. Its your day, and you need to be able to count on your DJ to be there and execute the job according to your plan. All you should need to do is show up and enjoy yourself, and count on your vendors to do the rest.

With SRO DJ, your phone calls and emails will always be promptly returned, and your questions will be answered in a clear and direct manner. When planning your wedding, it is essential that you have all the details of the reception figured out. Most wedding DJ’s will not be nearly as accomodating as Jay at Standing Room Only. Past customers say it best, so please feel free to read the testimonials.

 

Passion:

I love my job. I have excellent references. My past clients are “raving fans”; they are very pleased with the service I provided to them. Every party has been a success.

 

I hope this information helps to further acquaint you with me and my business.

Thank you for your consideration.

Congratulations on your engagement!
