thing checked off your list. What an efficient time saver !!
$00.
( Free ) Exciting Grand entrance: When you are
introduced into the room on the day of your celebration, this is
possibly the most important segment of your entire day. We line
up whoever is going to be introduced in, and then we give them a
list of detailed options
Example: “Okay everyone, May I have your attention…Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Thank you, my name is Curtis and I am about to announce you in for
the Grand Entrance. When you hear your name called you are going
to step through the door, into the ballroom. And stop. Here is your
chance to give Mr and Mrs Smith yet another wonderful wedding gift.
You will do your pose, as crazy or conservative as you like. Once
the cameras have flashed and the photographer is done with you,
then it will be time to head for the dance floor. This is where
you go into your routine…maybe like this hop hop, step step…turn
in a circle, now I throw the flowers to you, and then you throw
them back to me. Then I take off my jacket. You hold out your arm
as I hang my jacket over your arm…then I lay on the floor
and you put one foot on me, as though you have conquered me. Then
we jump up and get into line on the dance floor” “ You
do not have to do this and we do not expect you to, but keep in
mind…Mr and Mrs Smith are going to watch this video footage
for the next 50 wonderful years, so now is the time to create some
memorable footage, if you are in the mood !!!” “Is everybody
ready ? Any Questions ? Lets Gooooooooo ! ?
$00. ( Free ) Toast
played over your Last Dance: When your toast or toasts
happen early on in the event, we have our digital equipment recording
the toast. Then, over the next few hours, we find time to edit it
and remove any unwanted syllables or uneeded parts and we create
a studio quality clip of the toast or toasts. Then, during your
final dance of the celebration we wait for the right moment, lower
the volume of the song appropriately and allow the edited, perfected
toast(s) to be played. People are amazed and impressed ! Currently
only available with the Curtis and Anna package.
$00.
( Free ) All Guests Up - Circle of Love: My opinion
is every event should begin with all guests at the edges of the
dance floor creating a huge “Circle of Love” and every
event should end the same way. In each case the guest or guests
of honor, or the bride and groom are to be in the center of the
dance floor having a wonderful dance as friends and family are up
close and personal, at the edge of the floor. At the beginning of
the event it lets your guests know that this is really a special
celebration, and at the end of the event, it gets us all back together
again for one last very personal hurrah, and a big group hug, before
it is time to disperse and go back to our normal lives.
$00.
( Free ) The Shoe Game: This is for any wedding
or anniversary, and it never misses. It is to be done near the end
of dinner, with about 15 - 20 minutes to go until we open the dance
floor. The Bride and Groom are positioned back to back in the center
of the dance floor. Each has removed their shoes and each is now
holding a Bride shoe in one hand and a Groom shoe in the other.
And then I begin on mic: “Today Mr and Mrs Smith begin their
journey as husband and wife with all of you - their closest friends
and family in attendance. We are about to find out, at this point
in the journey, who knows who better. John, Mary, each of you has
a bride shoe in one hand and a Groom shoe in the other. I am going
to ask you a series of questions. If the answer is Bride you will
hold up your bride shoe. If the answer is groom you will hold up
your groom shoe. Here is your first question. In your relationship…who
takes longer…in the bathroom ? Who watches, more TV ? Who
is the bigger sports fan ? Who has the better Memory ? Who is the
better driver ? Who is the faster driver ?” Blah Blah Blah…And
then we get to the final question “In your relationship who
loves the other one more ? “ For this final question they
each have been told secretly by me, in advance, to hold up both
shoes. So you will hear the entire room collectively say “Awwwwww”.
Then we go back to finishing our dessert.
$00.
( Free ) Sweet Caroline dance Floor Opener: This
is for any wedding or anniversary…or any fun celebration.
It is to be done at the end of dinner, and it is a great way to
open your dance floor, without hearing a DJ say “The dance
floor is open”. The Bride and Groom are positioned with the
DJ at the edge of the dance floor, so that from left to right you
see, Mary, the DJ and John, all standing shoulder to shoulder, left
to right. The DJ then announces that we need everybody on the dance
floor for a special segment with the bride and groom. Once we have
everyone on the dance floor, we divide the floor in half so that
John is on one half of the dance floor with half of the guests,
and Mary is on the other half of the dance floor with the other
half of the guests. We then instruct them as the song Sweet Caroline
plays that when we get to the chorus, Mary’s side of the dance
floor ( Team Mary ) will shout “Sweet Caroline Bup Bup Bah”
and then team John will echo Good times never seemed so good “So
good, So Good, So Good ! “ The judges then tell us that in
round one Mary’s team is loudest. Then in round 2, John’s
team ties it up. Then the third and final time comes, and the screaming
is deafening, it is soooo loud. The song fades out and then the
DJ says “Congratulations to Team John… … …
for a wonderful 2nd place finish” “And that means that
Team Mary is our winning team today…and John you have learned
something to day that will stay with you for the next 50 wonderful
years. Mary…always…wins ! “ And at that precise
moment we bring in the dance music and everyone goes crazy dancing
and your pack dance floor happens from the very beginning !
$00.
( *Free ) Ceremony Sound & Protocol: *As long
as you have purchased the time, the equipment and expertise are
included at no extra charge. Usually, you add one extra hour for
your ceremony on site. 30 minutes is for the Pre Ceremony music,
as friends and family are arriving and taking their seats, and 30
minutes is for your actual Ceremony. If you have already hired us
for that hour, we bring the mic for the clergy, we place our speakers
at the back of your guests, we line everyone up, we make sure everyone
is comfortable, and we go over every component of your ceremony
with your clergy, in advance. This way, your Ceremony is calm, smooth
and beautiful. .
$00.
( Free ) Special Father daughter / Mother - Son dances:
Once in your lifetime, this special moment arises. We like to spend
some time and do a tiny bit of planning to ensure that it comes
off beautifully. First the DJ will meet at the edge of the dance
floor with the Bride, her Father, the Groom, and his Mother, and
they will have a huddle as they make their plans. Your DJ will ask
the Father of the bride to wait at the opposite end of the dance
floor from where the groom, his wife and his Mom and the DJ are
standing. Then, the DJ will announce “At this time, our beautiful
bride Mary is about to enjoy a special dance with the other man
in her life - Her Father” “Her Father” is the
trigger phrase that we all agreed to in advance. When you hear that
phrase, the Father begins to walk from the opposite end of the dance
floor toward the center. At the same time, the Bride and Groom begin
to walk hand in hand from the opposite side of the dance floor,
and they meet in the center. At this point the Groom will give his
new father in law a big manly hug and a hand shake and then hand
over his beautiful Bride . Then, the Groom walks back to his Mom,
and stands beside her, watching his Wife dance with her Dad. At
the end of the dance, the Bride and her Dad walk off the dance floor
and your DJ announces the Mother Son dance. It is so wonderful peoples’
eyes well up with tears and everyone with a camera rushes to take
pictures.
$500 Twin TVs:Twin TV Package includes two High Definition 42" plasma monitors. The quality is stunning. Bring your own photos on a disc or a flash drive and we will in turn it into a slide show, on the spot.
We are also happy to shoot photos as we go ( Curtis and Anna Package ) and have your live slide show changing constantly throughout the celebration. The more we shoot, the more photos are uploaded into your “live” slide show.
After your celebration is over we take all of the photos from your celebration and:
1) We make a slide show. That slide show is loaded to our web site and stays there for all time.
2) We take all the photos and the slide show and put them all on a custom DVD for you and we ship the DVD presentation to you.

taken during earlier moments leading up to now. The slide show continues

dancer/choreographer, Karrie. She used to teach the dancers at Disney,
and she is very sweet and quite talented. Have a custom routine
worked out for you, or simply gain the confidence that comes from
knowing how to dance well! It is a great deal and so much fun!
$400
Additional DJ and System: Additional DJ System & 2nd
DJ as needed. This allows us to be in two places at the same time
with music playing at both places. Example: If you have your ceremony
outdoors, and want some guests to be able to stay outdoors and continue
to hear great music, while some guests adjourn indoors and listen
to THAT great music ! [My feeling is that one system can accommodate
any number of setups during a celebration and people do not notice
and do not care about the moving of the system from place to place.
Up to you ! - CK]

four can play! You can also make up your own list of questions about
your Bride and Groom, Company or Guest of Honor and it really personalizes
it!
