Successful and Fun Wedding DJ

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. When looking for a DJ, it's vital to seek out a provider who is both professional and fun. A successful DJ has to be current with today's music, but with a taste and flair for classic sounds of previous generations. He or she has to know what music will please what crowds, and most importantly, he has to be eager to please!

DJs who provide a customized music solution, like XELA Sound, are rare because such a provider has to be client-driven and his first concern, beyond even being paid, has to be the enjoyment of the guests at your function, and providing you with the knowledge and satisfaction that you picked the right jock for your party.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Being a DJ is like being in any other profession in many ways. That is, you can't really appreciate the challenges and difficulties inherent in being one until you've had the opportunity to try it.

Any DJ can buy nice equipment and good lighting, but it takes a true professional to provide an experience that your guests won't soon forget. That involves finding out about your guests, reading the crowd, and understanding just what kind of beats and music makes them tick. It also involves making sure that your crowd feels important, and making sure they know how important their guest of honor is!

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. When hiring a DJ, you should ask the following questions:
- Is this person a professional? That is, do they have both high grade gear and a deep knowledge of music?
- Is this person customer oriented?
- Does this person have experience?
- Is the person still fresh enough to be intimate with today's music?
- Is this person's price range reasonable? Will you get added value to your party by hiring this person?
- Does this person have a large song collection to meet the needs of everyone at your event?
- Does this person put the kind of effort into his craft that your event deserves?
- Does this person have the vocal skills and charisma to serve as a premier-level emcee for your party?

XELA Sound excels at all of the above items!

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. When preparing to hire a professional DJ like XELA Sound, customers should have a good idea of the following:
- Date and time of your special event
- Venue where your event will be held
- Any special circumstances specific to your event (i.e., door prizes, drawings, speeches, etc.)
- The general type or genre of music you're seeking
- Any specific song requests
- In the case of a wedding, any special dances you may want to have

The great thing about hiring XELA Sound is that we have experience with all different types of events, and we are specialists in weddings! We can walk you through your reception planning process from start to finish!

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. XELA Sound stands out from other DJs because we put the customer first! We offer a customized music solution for each customer who gives us the honor of selecting us to entertain their guests. We take the time to get to know our customers, and to to understand what they're trying to achieve when they hire a DJ.

For example, some of our clients merely wish to provide a festive, or even easy listening, background sound to their event. Conversely, many of our clients want to party hearty and want their guests to do the same!

So, not only does XELA Sound provide first-class sound and lighting gear, but we are professional, and we are caring.. and all at a price that will fit into your budget.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. The best part about being a DJ is getting to watch the smiles on everyone's faces! There's nothing more satisfying in this line of work than watching a full dance floor, or hearing the shriek that means you played exactly what one of your dancers wanted to hear!

I also love making brides and grooms feel special by giving them an energetic, professional introduction when they first enter the reception hall as husband and wife. There's an amazing feeling of accomplishment and contentment in knowing that you have the privilege to be part of one of the most incredible and memorable moments of the couple's new life together!
