$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
should “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.
$300 (Free) Photo Slide Show:
We bring a professional camera and take pictures from beginning to end.
We then make an online presentation of your wedding, complete with your
special dances and songs, plus we send a DVD with an enhanced version
of the
web slideshow, which includes your recorded toasts as well. You can see

travel fee will apply if we come to you). We ask them what it was like
growing up. “How much was a loaf of bread ? A gallon of gas ? What
was the war like ? What was your dating, proposal, wedding, and life like.

watching? “ It is a priceless keepsake that you will treasure all
your life and you will hand it down to the next generations with love
and reverence.

a special song. Example: As you are introduced as husband and wife and
begin your first dance, your voices can be heard speaking your custom

other, as your first dance plays. Very romantic. We have the technology
down to a precise science. Ask us for a demo !!

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]
$400 Game Show: (Add on to any DJ Package) A real TV type Game Show with the personal stations, skinny
goose neck mics, Lock-Out buttons and a huge LED score that changes in
front of each station as the contestants answer the questions - right
or wrong. It is great as a one hour or two hour segment during an event.

also make up your own list of questions about your Bride and Groom, Company
or Guest of Honor and it really personalizes it!
$200 Karaoke: Add Karaoke to any DJ Package. It will add $200 to your
total cost. We send 3 mics, TV, books, slips, pencils and 70,000 songs
! It’s the best Karaoke presentation in the business, we think.

sends beams of light shooting around the room!
Also, included is a strobe type light that finishes off the package -
A nice package!
$100 Lighting - Small: A single spinning light, almost like a disco
ball, sends beams of light shooting around the room!

battery based system that allows us to provide 1000 watts of very clean
sine wave electricity (the very best) for 24 hours, which means we can

the mountain top, on the island, in the woods - you name it !!
