-Are
you looking for a Fun, Energetic DJ for your Wedding Reception?
Did you say yes?
Allow me to introduce
myself and my company!
Nikki,
DJ Mark &
Brian
I have been referred to as the "Wedding
Savior," "Energetic," and "The Life of the
Party." But my name is really Mark
.
I have worked as a Disc Jockey / Emcee since 1990 and have provided entertainment for hundreds of weddings.
All of our Disc Jockeys / Emcee's have
more than fifteen years
of experience. This will guarantee, in any situation, that our Disc Jockey/Emcee's to
be professional, and your wedding to be a success.
From the moment your first guest arrives, until the last dance,
we will see to your every need. We will coordinate your reception, take care of all the
announcements, play a variety of music, and provide you
with an upbeat atmosphere.
Our specialty is getting you and your guests onto the
dance floor.
We will play all of your favorites plus we can entertain you with interactive party props like: Maracas
(Shakers), Tambourines,
70's Wigs and Wacky Party Hats.
(Only If Requested)
We can do fun interactive dances like the
Cha Cha Slide, Electric Slide, YMCA, Limbo, Chicken Dance,
Conga Line . . . . and so
much more!
(Only If Requested)
We will be the perfect Master of Ceremonies and greet your guests as
they enter the room. We will inform them of seating arrangements, make any special
announcements, and make sure the cards and gifts are placed on the gift table. To
ensure your special event runs smoothly, we will coordinate with the caterer, the
photographer and any other professionals.
Planning your wedding can be a lot of work, but it should be a lot of fun.
Our goal is to provide you with helpful ideas and suggestions that will
reduce your work and increase your overall enjoyment. If you have any
questions regarding your contract, reception planner, payments, etc. please
call us weekdays during regular business hours. We are available to answer
any questions regarding special music ideas, ceremony musicians, or any
other wedding related services.
Planning your Wedding Reception
We believe that the planning session for your wedding is the foundation
of a successful reception. It is important to schedule this meeting with
your DJ 3 - 4 weeks prior to your wedding. We realize that you will have
many personal obligations prior to your wedding. However, it is important
that we have both the bride and the groom in attendance for our final
planning session. To help you budget your time, be prepared that this
meeting will last 45 minutes to 1 hour.
The Sound System & Set-Up
One of the most important factors in the success of your reception is
where our DJ sound system is to be set. It is critical that the DJ system
is placed in an area directly next to the dance floor, and that the
DJ has a good line of sight to the entrance of the room, head table and cake
table.
As your Master of Ceremonies, our DJ’s need to be able to see each of
these areas in order to control the timing of each. It is not a good
idea to surround your dance floor on all four side with tables. Remember,
our speakers need to carry sound to the dance area. If there are tables
directly between the speakers and the dance floor, the guests seated at
those tables will have an uncomfortable level of sound. Please be sure to
provide us with a minimum of a 6' x 10' area to set the sound system and
speakers.
If you have any guests seated in an adjacent area or room, we can provide
additional speakers so that all of your guests can hear the announcements
and music at a comfortable level. A nominal charge will apply for this
customized speaker option.
The Sequence of Events
In addition to the set-up, the order and time-line of events is a very
important part of the overall success of your wedding reception. As an
entertainment professional, we are experts at helping you plan the very best
sequence for all the events and formalities.
While you may get ideas from others, only your Master of Ceremonies can
create the perfect sequence for you - one that seamlessly flows from one
event to the next, while maximizing guest enjoyment and participation. If
you are planning a tentative agenda with any other wedding professionals
(caterer, photographer, etc.) please call us first. We will be happy to
share our expertise and experience that will help you customize the very
best party.
Gratuity
Unlike many other service professionals, we do not contractually add
service charges or gratuities. After considering the advanced pre-planning,
the level of service and quality of presentation, along with your overall
enjoyment, we believe you should decide for yourself what level of gratuity
if any you feel appropriate.
Food & Drink
If you would like to provide us with a meal, it is not necessary to
include us in your final count with the caterer. Meals are often available
for us without the additional cost being incurred by you. We will make this
arrangement with the banquet staff upon our arrival. Alcoholic beverages are
NEVER consumed by Mark Welch Entertainment staff. However, providing
ice water and soft drinks is greatly appreciated.
We also bring a state-of-the-art sound system,
and can bring dance club lighting to illuminate the whole dance floor
to entertain you and your guests.

and
family will talk about for years to come,
