We Love Taking Song Requests !

As professional Djs, all of us at Double Platinum Celebrations pride ourselves in providing exceptional service at every single function where we're hired to perform. When it comes to weddings, we pride ourselves in making sure your first dance, dinner music, bouquet and garter toss, etc. go off without a (musical) hitch! And of course, what wedding would be complete without dancing? This is where the bridal party and the guests get to show each other (and sometimes themselves) what they're made of!

But let's say a guest really wants to hear That Song – the one they know will get everybody even more pumped than they already are. Should they approach the DJ?

The answer: absolutely! The professional and caring Djs of Double Platinum Celebrations not only look forward to requests from the crowd, but we anticipate them as well. That's why every DJ brings a huge digital music library to every event, and that's why we encourage guests to approach us at any time with requests. We've all been to a function where the (non-DPC!) DJ may have seemed a little less-than-receptive to any guest requests. It can be a little jarring to approach a stranger and ask them a question, regardless of the setting. That's why the courteous staff of Double Platinum Celebrations will ensure that no matter the request, your experience will be nothing less than spectacular!

DJs vs. Ipod Weddings

It's your wedding day – the event you've been planning for the last year (and most likely, your whole life). The flowers are arranged exactly as you specified, the photographer is snapping away, the guests are starting to arrive for your reception – so far, so good. And here's the big moment – your first dance! You and your spouse take the floor as that special song starts to play. The moment is perfect – everything you've dreamed of. You're midway through this most special of moments. And then....

The music stops. You immediately whip around to look at the DJ, only there is no DJ: just a table with an iPod on it. Your groomsman that was supposed to be manning the controls simply pushed play and walked away. Now there's a painfully awkward lull while 2-3 people hover over the iPod, trying to figure out exactly what happened. Not that the crowd is paying attention – they didn't know it was your first dance because nobody made the announcement. And while every third person in attendance might have their own iPod, none of them have your special playlist that you worked on for weeks in anticipation of today.

**

If you spend 10 seconds scouring the Internet, you can find a million arguments for and against using an iPod for your wedding. The only consistent “benefit” seems to be the cost, and yes, an iPod wedding can be done. But why take the chance? There are no redos on your wedding day: you only get one ceremony, one introduction, one first dance, one dance with your father/mother, etc. A Double Platinum DJ can make sure those moments are perfect, and will eventually become the memories that last long after the last slice of cake has been dished out. A Double Platinum DJ is your official master of ceremonies – he/she makes sure every event happens exactly as you envisioned it, and that you and your guests are always aware of what's going on thanks to our state-of-the-art sound systems. A Double Platinum DJ always brings back-up equipment in the unlikely event that it is needed. A Double Platinum DJ can reach into their huge digital libraries and pull out the song that you forgot about until you were on the floor dancing with your grandmother! An iPod can do none of these things, and in fact can severely take away many of those perfect moments you were hoping for.

It's a simple but true formula: iPods subtract, Double Platinum Djs add.

Make your next celebration, A Double Platinum Celebration !

Double Platinum Celebrations DJ Service is ready to make your wedding day all you had hoped it would be, AND MORE!

With a large experienced  team of DJs, you are sure to find the perfect DJ for your special day.

We don't just book events. We allow you to speak, or meet, with your potential DJ to make sure that you are a good fit.

Double Platinum Celebrations, is a tried and true company with hundreds of testimonials and reviews that can be found on our website. (www.maineplatinumdj.com)  

 

 

Is your DJ listening to you?

In the wedding industry, whether a vendor is providing music, flowers, photographs or the venue, communication is first and foremost the key to any successful working relationship. It goes without saying that the needs and wants of one customer can (and usually are) completely different from those of the next. Any good vendor will know this going into a conversation with a prospective client, and will work as hard as they can to provide the product and/or experience that the clients are looking for. This is especially true of Djs.

By this point in your DJ search, you may have already spoken to multiple companies. In some cases, if you decided not to hire a professional DJ, price may have been the determining factor. But many companies – DJ or otherwise – occasionally forget that good communication is really the key component to building these successful relationships. A poor first contact with a vendor generally tells you everything you need to know about them. And when it comes to something as important as your wedding day, a bad first impression could be leading to a much bigger problem before you've even walked down the aisle!

At Double Platinum Celebrations, we take great pride not only in providing exemplary service on your special day, but in customizing your details based upon your specifications! Read a sampling of our online reviews http://www.maineplatinumdj.com/reviews   www.maineplatinumdj.com/theknot.htm

and one thing becomes clear: customers rave about our attention to detail and our willingness to go the extra mile to make your reception sparkle. From the first meeting to the last dance, the professional and courteous staff at Double Platinum Celebrations  www.mainedjpat.com  is ready to make your day, your way!

Your Wedding DJ: A big bang for your buck

If somebody were to ask you what you thought you would spend out of your total wedding budget on a DJ, what would you guess? 10%? 15%? Even more?

A recent study released by TheKnot.com surveyed around 13,000 brides to track wedding trends for the year ending 2013. And what did the study find? Nothing new here: weddings are expensive and getting more so every year! Last year, an average wedding ran a price tag of nearly $30,000.

But an even more interesting number emerged: 3.5. That's the amount of the average budgeted wedding that is allocated for DJ services. 3.5%!

Of course, every wedding is different, and the percentage of your wedding budget spent on a DJ may be higher or lower.. But that low number does raise two good points:

1. 3.5% is considerably lower than one might think when looking at the price tag of any vendor. After all, the study also found that videographers, wedding planners, florists, photographers, and wedding bands all had significantly heftier price tags than wedding Djs. And...
2. For such a low price, a wedding DJ can have a huge impact on your special day, so while you may be getting a lot for a noticeably smaller cost, are you getting what you paid for?

While we can't speak for others, the professional and courteous staff at Double Platinum Celebrations www.maineplatinumdj.com guarantees you will receive top value for your dollar! From our flexible payment schedules to our Customized Wedding Packages, our stress-free wedding consultations to our online event planners, our state-of-the-art sound systems to our huge digital music libraries and so much more, Double Platinum Celebrations is ready to make your day 100% your way!
