Metro DC DJs is proud to offer both lights and sound. Why do we do this? Because a party with lights is simply more fun, that's what our clients told us. We have the ability to do different kinds of lighting from uplighting, blacklights, gobos/monograms, special effects, spotlights and more. We're happy to speak with you about your options.

Unique Reception Idea

Bubble Bottles Make Great Decoration

An interesting situation arose while setting up for a wedding on May 6, 2012. Our happy couple was holding their wedding and reception at the same site so they had quite a bit of work to do. The mother and father of the bride were busy setting up and in fact, we ran into the bride, groom, parents of the bride and a couple of groomsmen prior to them getting into their wedding best.

As the ceremony time arrived, we were finishing the final touches on the reception room and placing the wireless sound system they'd requested for the back of the room to be able to hear the speeches and other microphone-related announcements and presentations. You can just barely see the speaker pole in the upper-right of the picture above. The only thing that we noticed about the room was the pair of cardboard boxes that were sitting on the table in the picture above. I asked the mother of the bride if she would like me to set these out for everyone and she said yes.

Wedding Introductions

Written by Jarrod Wronski | 08 May 2012

Recently, we've heard from some of our contemporaries in other parts of the country that brides and grooms are asking that the bridal party simply be introduced using only first names. We've talked to a few who simply announce all members of a family together, regardless of their role in the wedding, though we recommend brides to have the introductions in a set order.

Once the bride and groom have decided who to have introduced, the blanks are filled in with first and last names. Why? Because people like to hear their names announced. Plus, when properly introduced, it adds to the formality of the event; regardless of the overall atmosphere the bride and groom are going for, this provides a nice segue from formal to relaxed or maintains that formal feeling to the entire reception.

Planning a Casino Night

Written by Jarrod Wronski | 04 April 2012

With the number of states allowing gambling increasing over the last 15 years, casino nights are getting more and more popular with folks who enjoy gambling, but don't want to lose a lot of money doing it. When you had to plan to go to Atlantic City or Las Vegas and it included hotel stays, flights, etc., casino nights gave the allure of being at an actual casino and fulfilling a fantasy.

Now, casino nights are used for many different kinds of enhancement to events. Sometimes, they are the event. Some are used as fundraisers where attendees purchase funny money for use at the tables to gamble and possibly win prizes through raffle tickets they earn by winning funny money. Some are used simply to add to a party, to give folks something to do besides dance and stand around and talk. Some are used just as a background to themed party. No matter what you have a casino night for, we're happy to help you with planning your night, click here for more on what Metro DC DJs can do for your casino night.

Why We Prefer Face-to-Face Meetings

Written by Jarrod Wronski | 24 April 2012

We recently heard from one of our partners that the DJ and their client NEVER met until about 30 minutes before the event. How can the DJ have a proper idea of the client, their wants, and their needs without meeting with them ahead of time?

Honestly, this approach has helped us create better relationships with our clients, so much so that they recommend us to quite a few more people than we could even imagine. The face-to-face meeting gives us an opportunity to form a relationship with our client to not only hear their ideas, but get a feel for them too. You can learn an awful lot about a person by simply having a chance to meet them ahead of time.

Evening of Enchantment

Can you imagine what it's like to get a phone call that could change your business and it's a terrific opportunity that you never thought would come your way? Well, that's what happened when Elle Ellinghaus of elleDesigns did for Metro DC DJs when she contacted us back in January about an event called Cocktails and Connections which was sponsored by The Knot and The Bump.

The event was slated for March 6 and in late February we met with Elle at 1840's Plaza in Baltimore to take a look at the entire facility, and when we say entire facility, we mean all four floors and the plaza in front of this historic building near Baltimore's Inner Harbor. An amazing facility, Elle had the vision in her mind and was able to transform that vision into reality. Not only that, but she was also able to give us an idea of how everything was laid out so we could create playlists for what would theoretically be TWO separate functions in the same facility, on two separate floors. She also asked us to provide a gobo of "The Knot" (which you can see above). Elle was the picture of professionalism, and not because Dani Leigh Photography did a great job taking the photos.

Dancing at the Casinover wedding at Musket Ridge We'd originally met Elle through a strange set of events in 2011. We noticed this post from WTOP via Twitter and sent a note to Musket Ridge Golf Club who'd made contact with Christine Casinover (nee Briggs). [See more stories of this special 9/11 wedding here, here, here and here.]

Christine knew of Elle's work through mutual business partners. Elle loved the uplighting, gobo and sound we'd been able to provide the Casinovers and thus began a great relationship.
