Remix Weddings

The first step of the process is to see if we have a DJ available for your event date. If we have a DJ available for your event date, you will be taken to a detailed contact form to fill out and submit to us. We will then respond within 24 hours to answer any questions you have and to provide any additional information you might need, including a detailed quote for your event.  We can also schedule a no obligation consult in person or via a video conference.  From there we can typically put a 1 week hold on your event date while you explore all of your entertainment options.  If you then decide you a want to move forward with using one of our DJs for your wedding reception, then the next step is getting a contract in place.

For the contract we use an online document management system to make signing and storing contracts as easy as possible.  The contract is sent to you via a link in an email.  All you have to do is click on the link in the email and you will be taken to a secure portal to sign the contract for your wedding or event.  You can review the contract and sign it, or you can suggest any changes or edits you would like to see.  Once the contract is signed and submitted, you will be sent the log in and password for your online planning account.  Your contract will be stored and can be accessed in the online planning system.  You can print it off (if you like), or it will be stored online forever, thereby saving trees and our environment! The electronic contract is fully legal and biding to both parties involved.  In the online client portal you are able to pay the deposit for your wedding or event via Paypal or with a Credit/Debit.  You also have the option of mailing a check for the deposit.  We require a 50% deposit/retainer up front, and then the other 50% is due the week of your wedding reception or event.

Once the deposit is paid, your event is fully "booked".  Moving forward from there, you will work on planning your event via the client portal and with your assigned wedding DJ.  In the planning system you will be able to create playlists (including a do not playlist), generate a timeline, specify any introductions etc, and also communicate to us all the other details of the event.   We will also send you periodic reminders of things to be completing in the client portal.  If you have any questions during the planning process, your DJ will always be available to meet and discuss your event with you with proper notice.  

The week of your wedding reception we will arrange a final planning meeting with you and your wedding DJ.  In that meeting you will finalize all the details of the event with your wedding DJ.  We set up this final planning meeting the week of the event so that the information will be fresh in your DJs head for the weekend, and also so there is less likelihood of anything changing.  After that meeting, your wedding DJ will send you an event confirmation sheet to again confirm all the details.  Once you approve the final confirmation sheet everything is locked in for your event, and you can relax and enjoy your big day knowing all the little details of the reception have been taken care of.  In your final planning meeting you will also discuss in depth your musical preferences, you will review your playlists with your DJ, and your DJ will give you honest feedback about your musical requests and where they should fit during the wedding reception.  

During your wedding reception, your wedding DJ will execute your timeline and facilitate any activities you have asked for, and your DJ will make any announcements you have pre-approved during your wedding reception.  You wedding DJ will also liaise with your wedding planner or on premise coordinator, as well as your other wedding vendors to make sure everything flows seamlessly during your event, and to make sure everyone is where they need to be for each activity.  Your DJ will execute around your final timeline, but will also allow you to have the flexibility to adjust the timing however you desire during the event. After dinner and all the formalities of the reception it will be time for the dance party part of the evening and this is where your DJ will do what they do best, creating an unforgettable dance party.

After the wedding we will give you a few weeks to enjoy your honeymoon and let life return to normal.  About two weeks after your event we will send you a quick survey to make sure your DJ was everything you expected.  We will also ask for any feedback about your North Caroloina DJ to help us improve our services.

We hope this walk through gives you a better idea of how we do what we do.  If you would like to discuss your event or if you would like more information, please contact us using the contact page, or you can click here to go ahead and schedule a no pressure, no obligation consult.  We hope that you will give us the opportunity to work with you and to create an unforgettable wedding reception for you and your guests!

One of our favorite venues in the area is The Ridge located in Marshall, NC. This beautiful mountain top venue features long range mountain views and a sweeping vista perfect for your mountain wedding ceremony.  

"The Chateau" as they call the main building is rustic European inspired lodge that features 360 degree mountain views which can be enjoyed through the wall to wall windows.  One of our favorite events at The Ridge in recent years was Nick and Jessica's fall wedding!  These two couldn't be any more in love!  

Their ceremony started with some instrumental covers by String Space and Us The Duo which set a fun and upbeat vibe for the ceremony.  Once the ceremony wrapped up Nick and Jessica bounded down the aisle to some Stevie Wonder and headed on over to the event space for cocktail hour.  Cocktail hour we kept light with a modern indie and alternative vibe which we also used for dinner.  Once dinner service and the formalities were out of the way, we kicked off the dance party.  Nick and Jessica opted for our Premiere Party Package which really helped to bring the dance floor to life!  People were on the floor the entire night with lots of sing a longs, group hugs, and spontaneous dance offs!  Truly an epic event and such a wonderful celebration of Nick and Jessica's love!

Looking for the best price isn't the best option 

When planning your  wedding it is hard to foresee what is going to have the biggest impact on creating an unforgettable event. Will it be the dj, the flowers, the venue, the food?  You really only get one chance to make it the day of your dreams, and only one chance to make sure your guests have the time of their life! Creating a great guest experience will ensure that your wedding will be the bench mark that your guests compare to for every wedding they go to in the future.  Your guests are investing in you and your wedding.  They are most likely traveling to your event and there by, booking plane tickets and a hotel room.  They are buying a new outfit to wear , and they are buying you a gift.  Your wedding might even be their one big trip or vacation for the year.  You owe it to your guests to make sure you provide entertainment that doesn't disappoint, or make them want to leave early and spend the rest of the night at the hotel bar.

To that end, below we have compiled some very helpful statistics and information that you may find insightful when planning and budgeting for your event.  They say hindsight is 20/20 and the following information was gathered by asking brides and grooms what they would change about their wedding if they could...

Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.

During wedding planning, brides say their highest priority is their wedding dress, attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities! 

Within one week after their reception, 78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!

When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.

A full 65% of couples that used a band to entertain at their wedding reception, said, if they had it to do over again, they would have chosen a DJ.

FACTS REGARDING DJs

Wedding disc Jockey rates vary based on skills, year of experience, emcee abilities, level of service, level of involvement/coordination, quality of equipment, music knowledge, mixing ability/DJ talent, and personality. Not all wedding DJ's are created equally.  Everyone has seen a "bad" or cheesy wedding DJ at some point.

Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $750.00 to $3,500.00 with an US average of $1,400.00 for a 4-5 hour reception. 

The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding.  100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment & made it their #1 priority in hindsight!

A professional wedding entertainment company will normally invest 12 to 20 hours to your special event, but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours".  

According to Modern Bride Magazine, entertainment is, on average, 5% of a bride's wedding budget, however, over 50% of your guests will remember the performance of your disc jockey more than anything else at your reception.
