JukeBox Music understands
that hiring a professional DJ for your wedding is about more than
just music. Of course a huge selection and variety of music is
a must, but a professional DJ provides so much more! A DJ's ability
to entertain your guests, make announcements and coordinate events
with other vendors greatly influences the success of your wedding.
At JukeBox Music,
our main focus is to ensure that your wedding unfolds exactly as
you envisioned. We make ourselves available to you for unlimited
and personal wedding planning; act as Master of Ceremonies, and coordinate
activities with other vendors. This assures that your wedding
stays on schedule and your guests have a great time. Furthermore,
we have a variety of musical genres – ranging from 30’s
swing to today’s top hits – all to make your reception
FUN! |

JukeBox Music is
owned and operated by a recently married husband/wife team,
so we understand how important a wedding is - not only to the
Bride & Groom,
but to all of the families and guests involved. Your happiness
and satisfaction are extremely important to us; and therefore, our
number one priority. We will not settle for anything less than a
perfect day for you to remember.
JukeBox Music is
happy to offer complete wedding ceremony service, and feel
that it represents an excellent value. For starters, you only
have to deal with one person (one less meeting - yay!) for
both the ceremony and reception entertainment.
Then there's the fact that you not only get all the music for
the ceremony, but also a wireless lapel microphone for your
officiant to wear, which means that all of your guests will
hear the whole ceremony perfectly. And we include additional
handheld wireless microphone(s) that can be used by any readers
or vocalists/performers you may have.
Now - regarding the music: JukeBox Music will loan you a custom-made
CD that has several different versions of the ceremony 'event'
music ranging from the most traditional Wedding songs to alternative
selections. The best part is that you get to choose which is
best for you - or, do as many couples have and choose individual
pieces from a few of them and create a ceremony that is uniquely
your own!
And the best part? No extra cost: the price quote you are given
will include this service, provided that your ceremony is at
the same site as the reception!

- Probably the most important thing to keeping your reception
on time is making sure the ceremony starts on time. The timeliness
of your ceremony is directly related to your preparedness. Plan
your day well in advance and allow yourself plenty of time of
get dressed, take pictures, and get to your destination. And
remember that your rehearsal dinner is more than just dinner,
toasts and hugs. Make sure your Bridal Party and family understand
the importance of attending the rehearsal dinner and rehearse
the ceremony all the way through at least twice.
- Limit the time you spend taking pictures between the ceremony
and reception to 30-45 minutes. Make arrangements with your photographer,
and your Bridal Party, to have as many pictures taken as possible
before the ceremony. Taking pictures of the Bride and Groom with
their attendants, parents, siblings, etc. can save valuable time
after the ceremony. Remember - your guests are waiting to see
you!
- Have your Matron/Maid of Honor rehearse the bustling of your
dress. It is also a good idea to have someone else, such as another
Bridesmaid or your mother, know how to bustle your dress just
in case the Matron/Maid of Honor is unavailable. Difficulty bustling
a dress has been known to delay a reception by a half hour...
that's valuable party time!
- If you are expecting more than 100 guests, ask your caterer
if it's possible to have a double-sided buffet line or two buffet
lines. This saves a tremendous amount of time getting all your
guests through the buffet line.
- Talk to your Bridal Party and family prior to your wedding
day to ensure they are aware of their various roles, such as
receiving lines, introductions, toasts, dances, etc. Also stress
the importance of showing up on time and prepared.
- Make sure your tossing bouquet is readily available and remember
to put on your garter prior to the garter toss so your new husband
can retrieve it!

- Dim the lights when it's time for dancing. Soft lighting during
dinner creates a more comfortable atmosphere. Dimming the lights
after dinner will motivate your guests to dance. Determine the
desired lighting levels for dinner and dancing when you meet
with your reception facility's coordinator. Consider light levels
that will compliment any candles you plan to use. Ask that your
lighting preferences be included in your contract with the facility.
- Place your DJ next to the dance floor and avoid sharing facilities.
Avoid seating guests between your DJ and the dance floor. Placing
your DJ adjacent to the dance floor maximizes your DJ's ability
to control the sound and interact with the dancers. Be wary of
situations where the dance floor is in the next room or access
is not convenient for your guests. Also, avoid facilities where
you must share an area with restaurant diners or other parties.
Such arrangements almost always generate requests to lower the
volume, which will diminish the energy of your reception.
- Invest quality time in planning your Grand Entrance. The Grand
Entrance sets the tone and establishes the energy for the entire
reception. Work closely with your DJ and Catering Director to
stage a Grand Entrance that reflects your style and personality.
Decide who will participate, where they will assemble and in
what order, where they will go after being introduced. Clarify
pronunciation of names, determine appropriate introductions for
blended families and, of course, select the perfect music.
- The First Dance - don't wait forever to do it and don't do
it forever. One of the special moments of the reception is the
bride and groom's first dance. Having your first dance after
the grand entrance, or right after dinner, is a great way to
start the party. Don't delay your first dance to visit with your
guests. Doing so will deflate the energy of your reception. You've
selected your favorite ballad, but that five-minute song may
seem like an eternity both to you and your guests. Have your
DJ fade out the song at a designated time if it lasts more than
a few minutes. All of this applies as well to the newlyweds'
dances with their parents.
- Don't try to select every song your DJ will play. Choose the
song for your first dance and other songs for specific reception
events. Tell your DJ what artists and styles of music to feature
or avoid, but don't micro-manage your DJ's performance. A professional
wedding DJ can 'read the crowd' and knows what to play and when
to play it to keep the party going. More importantly, your DJ
knows which requests clear the dance floor. You're paying for
your DJ's knowledge and experience. Take advantage of it.
- Don't rule out the Macarena! Think twice before you reject
those so-called 'cheesy' group dances like the Macarena, Chicken
Dance and YMCA. These dances may be the only opportunity some
of your guests will have to get on the dance floor and have some
fun. You don't have to do the Hokey Pokey right after your first
dance, but let your DJ keep all options open. These group dances
are frequently requested by your guests and often create reception
highlights and priceless photos.
