Approach

• Detailed planning around how you want the event to run
• An MC style that is not chatty and does not talk over songs
• DJ and MV services
• Professional karaoke

Getting the most from a DJ

Tell your DJ how much announcing you want. Some couples prefer introductions and toasts handled smoothly with minimal talking, and this business is described as taking that approach. Share your must-play and do-not-play lists, and ask how requests from guests are handled.

Ask how long setup takes, what space the DJ needs and whether you will need power and a table. Provide your timeline, including cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, the first dance and any parent dances, so transitions are planned in advance. If you want karaoke, decide whether it belongs after dinner or later in the night, and whether guests will sing on a stage or from the floor.

Request a written contract that names the hours, the equipment and a backup plan if the DJ cannot attend.

St. Louis area

Fenton lies southwest of St. Louis, close to many suburban and riverside venues. Confirm travel to your venue and ask whether sound limits apply. Meet or call before the date to walk through the evening, and confirm who is the backup contact on the day itself.
