It’s that time of year again.  The time when most couples have been recently engaged, and are on the path to begin planning their wedding.  This is a new experience for most couples, and they don’t know where to start, or the big question on their minds are usually, “How much does everything cost?” The days of tradition where the family-of-the-bride funds the event seems to be fading too with more couples funding their wedding themselves.  Also, the expectations at weddings has

So, we have an appropriate number for our guest list to reflect our budget.  Now what do we do? Now we allocate the different portions of our budget!  As a disclaimer, the following allocations are mere suggestions based on our research, and experience helping couples plan their weddings.  They are not hard & fast rules.   We will use the dollar amount and figures from PART 1 of this blog post.  We will even give the breakdown for the “Tight

So, most mobile DJs, especially when they specialize in weddings and private parties, will tell you that these skills/factors are the order of importance when making an evaluation about the DJ you select: 1. Emcee skills 2. Musical knowledge and ability 3. Customer Service 4. Equipment used This is 100% true, and we agree. For the purpose of this blog entry we’re going to focus on that number 2 spot.  This is an important, and often overlooked skill when it comes

We have been well into the wedding season since March already!  It’s been a great few months, and we’re gearing up for the busiest part of our year to come!  We’ll be getting in touch with couples again shortly to make sure we are doing everything we can to help with your wedding planning.  Every wedding we’ve had (including one where we were called literally the day before to perform) has been a huge success.  We look forward to each

We want to take a minute to do a spotlight on Lora & Brandon.  We performed at their wedding this last weekend.  They looked amazing, and had an amazing time.  SoundFire DJ was honored to be the provider for the entertainment, and contribute to memories that will last a lifetime. Lora & Brandon had opted for our most popular option:  the Premier service covering cocktail hour through the rest of the night; along with our Virtual Photo Booth service. We

We’ve done it again.  Bringing you amazing value and service.  We believe that we best serve our clients by reinvesting in ourselves.  Of course, that means we attend trainings, stay up to date on current trends, and carefully upgrade our system to bring you an excellent show. SoundFire DJ is proud to make its first upgrade announcement for 2015.  All customers who had selected the “Premier” service will see the following upgrades at their wedding: 2 more wash bars to

We have had lots of great response and compliments to our 2014 “New Rig”.  In fact several of our 2015 clients complimented us on how clean, polished, and professional it looks.  It provides an amazing light show experience in the hands of a qualified artist.   However, we are always finding ways to improve, and maintain our leadership in providing high quality wedding entertainment.  So, at the beginning of April we will be announcing our updates for 2015.  The updates

So, you’re looking to begin your journey to the day you say, “I do.”  Congratulations, you are about to embark upon a wonderful experience.  There will be fun occasions, and stressful ones too.  Because 85% of couples are getting married for the first time they’ve never experienced planning for something like this, and who wants to read a whole book on how to plan and prepare for your wedding?  Also, where do you start?  With that in mind we decided

We’ve told you before that professional musicians and touring groups the world over use the same speaker system we use.  We don’t cut corners, and neither do these other professionals.  Why does this matter?  It matters because sound clarity is so important to how pleasurable your experience is at an event.  You can have the best DJ/emcee in the world, but if they’re coming through what sounds like a tin can, or a crumpling paper bag, you won’t stick around long

I know what you’re thinking.  DJs play music!  Ok, you’re right, but only partially right. There seems to be a huge misconception that has been growing over the past few years about what a DJ does, or at the very least, what they are supposed to do.  If you only think about it for 10 seconds when asked, “What does a DJ do?” 99 out of 100 people will say play music, have cool lights, and make remixes.  That’s your 10 second
