To Knot or not to Knot ;-)
Posted in decor lighting, DJ, Laser, Uncategorized, Wedding, wedding DJ on August 20, 2009 by directsoundI want to advertise with the Knot but it’s close to $200 a month for a web advertisement. I want to grow my business but I not sure if I want … No I want to, I just don’t know if there is a better way to do it. Should I make the investment or go a different route? My problem is I’m a single owner operator and with everything else I have going out right now I’m not sure if it’s the right time. Or should I put all my eggs in one basket and go for it? Does anyone else advertise with the Knot, and does it work for you? If so I would love your input, like if or what I might be able to ask for that they don’t advertize that will make my ad stand out even more with them if I choose to go with them. Thanks for your input!

Bride’s in Spin & Puke mode! And no she is not pregnant-
Posted in decor lighting, DJ, Laser, Wedding, wedding DJ with tags decor lighting, DJ, wedding DJ on August 17, 2009 by directsoundJust when you thought you had it all figured out, brides have a new worry “Décor Lighting” Wedding Reception Halls, a great source to find a great wedding DJ and Lighting service, but don’t just ask the manager ask a few of the workers. The waitresses and bartenders that work the rooms are more in tuned with the DJ and are a good source that can give you an accurate opinion of the night’s performance and if the DJ can keep the crowd moving or if the atmosphere is elegant or looks like a seine from dark hole. Most brides want a lighting package that makes the room look amazing without giving you a headache or blinding you every time you turn around. A lighting package that goes around the room with the warm colors of the wedding, giving your wedding that finished look without turning your dinner into a disco. Remember you are there all night, make it soothing for your ears and your eyes. Now a days you need a lighting package that can “transform “ from a spectacular Grand Entrance to a warm Dinner hour all the way to that Night Club look for late night dancing. Most DJ and lighting services will only bring lights that are automatic with no control over the color or movement. So if you have wedding set in deep reds or a beautiful blue and the DJ has no control you will only get lighting with a full spectrum of colors and most of the time set to the “Spin & Puke” mode. Look for a DJ that uses intelligent lighting and knows how to use it and the lighting. Most DJ’s companies offer intelligent lighting, but most likely its set to the auto mode. In some cases they may even charging you for DMX programming, when in fact they have no control over the light at except to turn it on and off. During your consultation ask to see unedited video and pictures of a night’s performance. The unedited video lets you see what really happened and not a prefabricated look set to make them look better. This way you can see if the lighting matches the moment and the sound is right for the time. Don’t get me wrong everyone has different tastes for music and choices for wedding colors but if keep that in mind, you will see how that DJ will work or not work for you. For great wedding planning tips or a great Wedding DJ and Décor Lighting Specialist take a look at http://www.directsound.com they can put it all together for you and make your wedding simply amazing.

Bride Starts Snapping Heads At Her Weddings!
Posted in decor lighting, Wedding with tags Bride decor lighting Direct Sound, environment, green, Groom, up lighting, Wedding, wedding DJ on August 14, 2009 by directsoundCreate the “Wow Effect” at your next wedding or corporate function. When a guest walks into the room the first thing you want them to say is “Wow” this place is cool.

Happy wedding
I have set-up many rooms and have had many reactions from guests but the thing I hear the most is “Wow”! If you strive to achieve this at all of your events your businesses will thrive. The snap of one’s head looking around the room trying to take it all in is amazing every time I see it. It can be done with lighting, drapery, signs or even plants placed to achieve a jungle or oasis look and feel or even something simple as live fish swimming at the table for a center piece to create a tropical feel that the guests can take home and remember you for a long time to come.

the wow factor
Group a few small ideas together and soon your room will take on the feel and you will to hear that amazing sound “Wow”! Tell me some simple ways you achieve the “Wow “ effect to help you and your clients get to the common goal an amazing wedding /party.-M.Susca DJ Mikey Mike
