The Secrets to Hiring the Right DJ Service
January 2010
By Ozzie Kipnes, Vancouver
It is true what they say about the entertainment at a wedding, it is the most important component. It is no secret that the market is saturated with DJs, so how do you hire the right DJ for your budget? What is the difference between a DJ and a DJ service?
The process of narrowing it down:
DO NOT make price the deciding factor. Compile a list of DJs you have seen in the past, ask friends for referrals, and ask for “preferred DJs” and opinions from your other event vendors. Then narrow your selection down to 3 professional DJ services. Look for a DJ Service that stands out from the rest. A DJ service can be a full time professional DJ company that has a number of DJ's in their roster. This way, should one get sick, or be unavailable, you will always have a DJ at your event.
Make contact:
Book your DJ at least 6 months in advance. Although email inquiries are increasing in popularity, nothing beats talking with your DJ service over the phone. How they conduct themselves over the phone is a great indication of how professional they are and how they perform in public. Things to listen for… Are they confident? Can they offer you a professional and easy to read website to refer to? Did they answer their phone when you contacted them? Was there a quick turn around time when responding to your inquires? Or do you have to wait days for a reply back? All of these are indications of whether you are considering a full time professional DJ service. Do not be fooled into thinking that all-inclusive packages are the only options for your entertainment. A professional DJ service will spend the time getting to know you first and talk about pricing last.
The consultation:
Whenever possible, ask to meet with the DJ or DJ Service at their office/residence. A professional DJ service will be proud of their environment, and will welcome the opportunity to display their equipment. This consultation is a great opportunity for you to meet with them in person, and start to build a relationship. This consultation will give you an idea of how they will treat your wedding and making your day a memorable one.
The full package:
For your special day you need the full package. This includes a professional DJ, high quality equipment and lighting, and the right songs for your party. Some DJ companies emphasize the need to have a music library in the tens of thousands. Ironically, only 60-70 songs will be played, but if they are not the right songs then your celebration will not be memorable. An experienced DJ can help with this. Determine a general play list in advance and provide your DJ with a “do and don’t” play list. Get their input on your evening. Will they be interactive? Can they help with the cake cutting ceremony and the first dance? What are their suggestions?
Get it in writing:
A professional DJ service will send you a contract. Make sure you discuss payment options and cancellation policies prior to signing. This is the time to determine additional items like: whether dinner for the DJ needs to be provided, music request list policies, exterior arrival times, lighting packages, and determining your assigned DJ. And let’s not forget pricing and extra charges.
Don’t just take their word for it:
Ask to see the DJ service’s references and then qualify them by calling. Make sure to contact a previous client that has used the DJ that is assigned to your wedding function. A professional DJ service will be honored and proud to provide you with at least 3 recent contacts.
Pricing:
Price is one thing - quality is another. All DJ's are not created equally. A DJ’s rates can vary from a low $500 to a high $1500 in most Canadian cities. Anyone below $500 should be scrutinized to ensure quality of service, equipment, and "track record.” Chances are, they are not a professional DJ, and they may lack experience, and most likely don’t have a license or carry liability insurance. Most experienced DJ's should be priced around the $800-1200 range, depending on level of experience. Book the DJ you can afford and NEVER EVER book the cheapest (unless you are receiving a discount or there is a valid reason that they are the lowest price). Trust your gut feeling for the DJ service you like and go with them. Remember, with hiring a professional, comes peace of mind.
Key questions to ask:
What type of sound system do they use? A professional disc jockey will use a professional sound system, not just a home stereo system. You are not only paying for the DJ to keep your guests entertained, but you need the professional equipment for good sound quality. Interested in lighting? Ask your DJ to explain the various options. Make sure that you ask about your DJ’s equipment backup policy because equipment failure, though rare, can occur.
-
Do they have a business license? Ask to see it; don’t just take their word for it. Would you feel comfortable giving someone $500-$1200 cash 6-12 months in advance if they do not operate as a full time business?
-
Do they carry liability insurance? This is crucial! If someone gets injured at your wedding by accidentally tripping on the equipment, or if the DJ causes damage to the venue, then you as the signing client would be protected by the DJ’s insurance coverage. If they are not insured, simply put, you are liable.
-
Do they use AVLA licensed music? (Audio Video Licensing Act) Some DJs download MP3 files which are condensed, and can compromise sound quality, and are illegal unless they have a licensed hard drive. Licensed music are the only form of music your DJ should be using. If they are using an alternative, you should keep looking.
-
Are they members of the Better Business Bureau (BBB)? Consumers can rest assured that when they find a BBB member they are dealing with a company that is proud to make a public statement about high ethical standards.

ADVANTAGES OF SILKS
May 7, 2009
The craft of making silks is so specialized and detailed that it is often difficult to distinguish without close examination the difference between artificial and natural foliage.
Some of the benefits of using artificial flowers and foliage:
They last a lot longer. Natural flowers need to be replaced every few days to keep them looking alive and blooming but your silks will be bright and healthy all year round.
They are less expensive than real flowers and are often more colourful and unique.
They can be custom designed to suit your own specific fancy and make fantastic gifts that you can modify to suit any taste.
Artificial flowers are always in season. It doesn’t matter if you want lilies in October or tulips in January – anything is possible!
It is incredibly simple to maintain them, and they do not require water, sunlight, air or nutrients.
There are no temperature concerns.
Anyone suffering from allergies will benefit from the everlasting beauty of silks.
Avoid insect problems.
No pesticides.
No water damage from leaky pots.
Silk trees and plants never outgrow the space they are in.
No foliage loss in the fall or winter.
They can create pleasant surroundings, and set the mood or theme of an area.
UNLIMITED DESIGN POSSIBILITIES!

Party Like Santa! Save Like Scrooge!
November 2008, Vancouver B.C.
By: Deborah Wallace, The Finer Details Event Planning
Just because the economy is shaky doesn’t mean you should scrap the whole idea and cancel the Christmas Party. Holiday events are to thank staff for a great year, let clients know you appreciate their business, and send a message to your stakeholders your business has many reasons to celebrate. But instead of being wildly extravagant, plan carefully to make your celebration a delight–with the emphasis on light!
DO be economical and budget conscious about…
- Gift Giving – A few substantial door prizes being raffled off during the event can replace expensive individual gifts, and keep the energy level high.
- Theme – Pick one splashy element, such as funky ice luge for the bar with your company logo, instead of endless balloons and themed swizzle sticks that will get tossed at the end of the night.
DON’T look cheap by cutting the wrong cost…
- Don’t cancel the band and hire your accountant’s brother’s nephew to play at the party (unless he’s really, really good).
- Don’t rent a cheap room in a cheap hotel. You still want your party to stand out in people’s mind, and a boring room is not the way to do that.
- Don’t assume that cocktail receptions are cheaper than a full meal, unless you just serve veggies and dip. Choose a menu that fits the budget and create an occasion.
Finally, remember that an event planner, such as The Finer Details can help to bring your event in on target and budget. A professional event manager’s fees are worked into the event budget, while staff wages and time are often an additional and omitted expense. So, rather than burdening your office staff with party decisions when they should be attending to customers, allow a professional to focus on the party.

5 Tips & Trends in Corporate Event Entertainment
November 2008, Vancouver BC
By: Ozzie Kipnes
When your party is over, people will talk. What do you want them to say?
One week after the event, 91% would say the entertainment was the most memorable part. Here are a few tips to keep the entertainment fresh and exciting at your next corporate event:
-
Sophistication: Bring an air of distinction to your next corporate party with a live Jazz pianist for even just the first portion of your event.
-
Tunes: Having a professional DJ service has many benefits such as the ability to play during the cocktail reception and then kick it up a notch when it's time to dance. The right DJ will offer a variety of music and your guests will rave to you months later. Do you want to trust your event’s music to a ‘dude’ with an ipod?
-
Fun: Audience participation can bring groups of all sizes together. Consider bringing in Dance Heads, which is taking Vancouver by storm. Imagine small groups lip syncing their favorite dance tunes while their heads and expressions are shows on a screen for all to see. A great way to energize and engage your guests!
-
Spice: Consider a Latin Band and salsa dancers. Remember that all bands take breaks so, if your budget permits, hire a DJ to play in during these awkward lulls.
-
No-limits: Corporate event entertainment is by no means limited to music. For added fun and diversity, think trendy…select a caricaturist, a temporary tattoo artist, a hypnotist, magician or comedian.
Whatever idea tickles your fancy for your next corporate event, Rule #1 is to hire a professional. You need to make sure your entertainment provider has the highest quality of service, and will meet all of your expectations.

Brand Your Event Right!
April 2008, North Vancouver BC
By: Allison Cousins, Rex Image
These days, there are a lot of events competing for guests attention. You can’t even assume that employees will attend their corporate functions these days. Your guest has to be engaged and motivated.
So how do you get people to come to your event? The first key is to plan a great event. The second is event branding and promotion. Here are 5 tips for creating effective promotional materials for your event.
Who is your guest? Brainstorm a profile of your ideal guest. It is key to understand who you want to attend your event and, more importantly, what appeals to them.
-
What’s in it for them? Now that you understand your guest, brainstorm on 10 reasons why they would want to attend your event. Be specific! Promising “great food and a fun night” is too generic. Prizes, activities, a particular network or a guest speaker are examples of features that may appeal to them.
-
The headline! When reading a newspaper, how do you decide which article to read? The headline! Make the headline meaningful to your guest. Your headline can even include an enticing reason to attend the event: “Attend my seminar and learn how to reduce your tax payable by $5000.”
-
Less is more. Too much text or cheesy graphics are overwhelming. Any description of the event should be concise and include your best “What’s in it for them?” statements. Be sure to group the logistical information in one area so that people can find this critical info at a glance.
-
Call to action! Once you’ve got people all revved up, tell them exactly what to do next… and be specific. For example, don’t just put a website address. Say “Visit our website to reserve your seat before July 1st.”
Looking beautiful on your Wedding Day-Your Skin & Foundation (Part 1)
April 2008, Vancouver BC
By: Angela Dean, Mary Kay
Most brides on their wedding day want to look their best. However, looking thier best does not mean looking "made up". Today's bride wants a very clean and natural look. There are many ways to achieve such a look.
The best makeover starts with perfect skin care application followed by a flawless foundation and natural colour.
The first step is to determine your skin type.
Type 1: Do you have to apply powder throughout the day to control shine? Are you naturally prone to breakouts?If so, then you most likely have oily skin and wouldn't want to wear a heavy foundation that compounds the problem.
Solution: Your best bet would be to choose a matter foundation or a mineral based loose or pressed powder that won't add oil to your skin and is lightweight and offers a silky smooth finish.
Type 2: If your everyday makeup tends to look blotchy and you feel as if your skin 'drinks' moisturizers, then you most likely have dry skin. Hydration is very important for your complexion-dry skin can age you.
Solution: Consider a light exfoliate as it will control excess dryness very easily, or a once a week treatment such as microderm abrasion. Choose a full spectrum skin care with not only age fighting properties BUT ALSO with age defying results.
Hot Tips!
Apply Foundation after a moisturizer or primer, in a downwards motion. The goal is to find the closest match to your skin type. Apply below the jaw line-blend in natural light.
Use Translucent Powder or a mineral powder to set your products. This is key on your wedding day! Ask any photographer and they will also agree that this is an important step.
Most commonly asked question, "will my makeup last throughout the day?" The answer is YES! following all the proper steps, will ensure your foundation and powder will last all day, I promise.
My suggestion to brides is to have your maid of honor keep a pressed mineral powder close along with a beauty blotter to take the shine away.
Most important step? use a good quality skin care line at least a few months prior to your big day-Photos last a lifetime!
Most importantly...be good to yourself on your wedding day, relax and enjoy!
Products recommended in above article: Mary Kay Miracle Skin Care Set (3 in 1 Cleanser, Age Fighting Light Weight Moisturizer, Night Solution, Microdermabrasion, Mineral Foundation, Concealer and Beauty Blotters)
Mary Kay has been voted Best Skin and The #1 Line in the U.S. 13 Years Consecutively.

Keeping Romance Alive-Relationship Tips the Imago Way
March 2009, Vancouver BC
By: Katie Barr www.hinacoaching.com.
Good news!!! You’ve found the partner of your dreams and you are ready to start your life together. Your relationship is great and you have never felt more connected to one another.
So what’s the bad news? Well, you know it already. Sadly, the statistics indicating whether or not you will enjoy a long-term, successful marriage are not good. With the divorce rate at over 50 percent (and climbing), the odds of still being married to one another in 10 years time are not in your favour.
The reason why is that the ability to have a successful relationship is not inherent in any of us… and unfortunately, Love 101 was not offered in school! The other reason is that most couples wait far too long before they seek outside assistance with their relationship difficulties (that is, if they get any help at all!). Of course by the time they do get help, the wounds are deep and the resentments are strong; and it is sometimes just too hard to get back those ‘loving feelings’ of earlier days. Divorce, having an affair or staying married but not connected end-up being the only option for some.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. With just a little investment of time (even as little as 3 hours!) you can start to acquire the knowledge and build the skills you need to maintain romance, connection, passion and love in your marriage for a lifetime!
If you think about it, you are willing to train yourself to play a sport, use a computer program, speak a different language or build a business; so why wouldn’t you also train yourself in this critical area of your life!
Imago is such a training program for relationships. It is based on the work of Dr. Harville Hendrix, author of New York Times #1 Best Seller, Getting the Love You Want, and has been around for over 20-years. In fact, the Imago program has lead hundreds of thousands of couples worldwide (both young and old) to transform their relationships beyond expectation. By attending an Imago Workshop they are experiencing “deeper more meaningful connections” with one another and “keeping the romance alive” every day!! But you don’t have to rely on their word alone about the power of Imago…just ask Oprah. Dr. Hendrix has been a guest on her show many times and she has been quoted as saying, “Understanding this theory has changed my relationship. It’s unbelievable. It’s almost like an electric current. Everybody draws to themselves the partner that can most reflect and help them heal the wounds of their past.”
So to ensure that you don’t get caught on the wrong side of the stats, why not take the time to preserve your relationship NOW while it is still good! Then all you’ll have to do later is sit back and enjoy the ride.
In the meantime, see how many of the following you are already doing well:
Top Ten Imago Relationship Tips
1. Add romance to your relationship year round with little surprises. Romance is not just for Valentine’s Day! Surprise your partner on a Monday night in March with a candlelit dinner, he/she may need and appreciate it more. Try adding little surprises gradually and don’t worry about being original. Think of something your partner will appreciate (a love note, a single rose, a CD of their favorite musician, a new pet-name etc.) and surprise him/her. Remember the old adage: it’s the thought that counts.
2. Don’t be defensive. Rather than feeling judged, take a step back and look at your own character flaws. No one is perfect, but we all have the opportunity to grow.
3. Make love, not war! Always act with love and understanding.
4. Avoid negativity. Blame and negative criticism get you nowhere. Your intention is to have a loving relationship so keep that in mind BEFORE an argument. Speak to how you feel rather than listing what you think your partner is doing wrong.
5. Dialogue your way to a better relationship. Go to an Imago workshop, such as “Imago Connects” or “Start Right, Stay Connected”, or read the book Getting The Love You Want, to learn how to use the Imago Dialogue. Good communication is the key to understanding each other and being understood.
6. Be the partner you want your partner to be.
7. Take ownership for what is not working in your relationship. Denial is poison to a relationship, and sitting around with feelings of inadequacies doesn’t do anyone any good. Be honest with yourself and you will make room for growth.
8. Create a relationship vision togetherEnergy follows attention. The minute you begin to create the vision, you will move towards it. (This exercise is done in the “Start Right, Stay Connected” workshop).
9. Become your partner’s advocate. Your partner’s welfare, dreams, potential, and achievements must become your project.
10. Love unconditionally. It is easier to love when all is well, much harder when times are bad. But when is love most needed?
For more information on relationship training, please feel free to contact me (email: info@katiebarr.org). You are also invited to attend a FREE Imago Information Evening as a first step toward understanding more about sustaining a great relationship. This information evening is now also offered as a Teleclass. Please visit the website for more details: www.hinacoaching.com.

iPod Weddings
Ipod Weddings by Ed Mullen
http://www.mobilebeat.com/ipod-weddings-by-ed-mullen/
Yet another article about the scourge of the iPod? Well, yes, but this is one to share with grooms who are being tempted by DIY…
Getting married, mister? Congratulations. Are you handling the details with your fiancée? Great. Your job is to arrange the music? Brilliant. You are doing it yourself? How so? Your iPod! You’re kidding, right? How much are you spending on your wedding? Oh, it’s a control issue? You want your favorites played? Have you really thought this through? Didn’t think so.
Although an iPod is a very efficient personal music system, there are several problems that arise when depending on your iPod to handle your wedding reception. Your risk vs. reward is not as clear cut as you might think. So, here comes the “tough love.” I’ve been a mobile disc jockey since 1979. I have some frank advice for you, since you get only one chance to handle this wedding music issue…
To put it as simply as possible: Get a pro. A experienced professional disc jockey solves many reception issues in the planning. Your preferences and song list should be completely explored months before the ceremony and delivered by someone who has been there before. The well-prepared DJ also has professional grade sound equipment and back-up gear that is dependable.
Technical Difficulties
Got some home speakers? What are you using for your amplifier? Briefly, my professional DJ speakers are better than your home speakers. I use powered JBL EON-15 G2 speakers, some of the best portable speakers available. A mobile disc jockey depends on durable, high-performance equipment gig after gig after gig.
Thinking of renting PA gear? Rental equipment costs money. Rental equipment also costs time. Pick-up and drop-off does not include your shopping time spent finding the right sound rental company. Got time? In the week prior to your wedding, time is your most precious commodity. Does the money-back guarantee give you any comfort if it fails at your wedding reception?
Risky business. You will not get a chance to test rental equipment. You can’t even do a venue sound check. Are all the connecting wires included? Are your XLR cables matched with 1/4″ speaker inputs? Too technical? This is just chapter one. Do you plan on any toasts or blessings to be delivered? Did you forget about the microphone? Would you say that all microphones the same?
When you are listening to your iPod, you involuntarily adjust the volume to your comfort. You’ll soon find out that all songs are not recorded at the same volume. Since you are pumping raw iPod sound, you have no volume control or equalizer (bass vs. treble) control. Your iPod is smaller than your keys. Have you ever misplaced your keys? Doesn’t it turn your stomach if your drop your digital camera on the floor or your cell phone on the parking lot? How durable is your iPod? Any back-up plan? What could possibly go wrong?
Musical Magic-or Mayhem?
What about your song selections? With an iPod wedding, you’ll get your songs and your random mix, but, you won’t get pacing, such as breaking up a lengthy, fast-paced set with one or two ballads. This is especially vital for a reception including a variety of ages. Are guests of all age groups attending?
“Got my favorite song?” Who will be asked this question? You will. It seems you forgot about audience requests or what tendencies are occurring on the dance floor. Observation is one of the most important skills of disc jockeying.
A pro disc jockey takes the bride’s and groom’s song preferences and presents them in such a way as to provide the guests with the couple’s very own musical signature. “Reading the crowd” is the disc jockey’s primary skill. Do you really think that “the crowd will dance to anything” anyway? Are you willing to bet your special day on that idea?
Time Keeps on Slippin’…
Should your wedding day responsibilities include troubleshooting power needs like batteries or chargers? Your attention will be directed to many different people during the ceremony and reception. Every person in attendance would like some of your time. Not to mention, your new partner. Your priorities need to be re-examined if your iPod gets as much attention as your new wedding ring. This statement will also be posed to you, by your new spouse. Guaranteed. Remember the difficulty that you two had selecting the names on your guest list? Your time spent with selected family and selected friends is such a memorable part of the wedding reception, so hold it as a gift with great value. Is your attention going to be diverted by sound equipment during the most important day of your life?
Maybe you hade the breakthrough idea to ask a wedding party attendant to watch your iPod. So it seems that this friend is no longer a guest, but is now working for you. Maybe you’ll trust a non-guest who will baby sit the iPod. And maybe you’ll want a first-time chef baking your wedding cake too. Speaking of other vendors, are you aware that experienced vendors like the disc jockey, caterer, photographer, venue manager, video-grapher and wedding coordinator together work out the final details and fine-tune the timing…during the event!
Money Well Spent
Is it cheaper? Sure, hiring a professional costs more than a do-it-yourself project. But, is your wedding really a do-it-yourself project? This may not be the best time to show how frugal you are. You are planning the biggest party in your life and you have the opportunity to select experienced, professional vendors-so do the right thing. Although your input and your needs are essential in the planning stage, you must transition to the “guest of honor” stage to fully enjoy your wedding day. Don’t you want to experience it together with your new bride as the happy couple?
You will get a fair representation of what the modern disc jockey does during your personal meeting, months before your event. That’s why I like meeting the wedding couple to get both bride and groom perspectives on what to do and what not to do. The clients supply me with a song list and wedding preference timeline, just like they will tell their needs to the caterer, florist and so on. Your mix of traditional and modern choices makes your wedding unique. The DJ is the one who will weave your choices into a musical tapestry worthy of your most special occasion.
Get Real
You should know, by now, that the modern disc jockey is not so anxious to play line dances. This optional choice is covered in part of the couple’s song-list and is called the “do not play list”. We understand and appreciate that kind of instruction. You should know that the modern disc jockey uses judgment concerning objectionable lyrics. Your iPod does not have that kind of filter. The glut of sunny wedding music advice on the web does not give you the real life pros and cons about the modern disc jockey. There are some major practical limitations when you pre-program the music event, days before your guests see you walk down the aisle.
Every vendor wants a well-planned wedding, just like every client. So, let the chefs cook. Let the florist bring the flowers. Let the photographers shoot. Let the limousine driver drive. Let the professional disc jockey provide the soundtrack for your once-in-a-lifetime reception.
Did you ever hear the old line about “making or breaking the reception”? What do you think they were talking about? A smart bride once said, “Good entertainment isn’t cheap and cheap entertainment isn’t good”.
So, you want to have an iPod wedding? Are you kidding?
