"Unforgettable Weddings" by DeeJay Absolute

"It's not what we do, it's how we do it that allows us to create truly unique wedding receptions." – DeeJay Absolute

You've spent months preparing every important detail for your wedding day – from the flowers and decor to the late night snack. You've had lots of friends and family members offer their help and support in many areas, but you're realizing that no one truly knows all the details like you do. How are you going to relax and enjoy your ceremony and photo sessions when in the back of your mind you'll be wondering if all the vendors have arrived on time or if the venue has arranged the seating as you requested? You want everyone to have a good time on the dance floor but worried they might not dance. Maybe your guests are having a hard time locating your reception or finding a place to leave their cards and gifts. And why hasn't the guest book been setup near the entrance yet? With over over 15 years of experience in DJing and MC work, I would love to share my experiences and be apart of the most important day of your lives... Your Wedding Day!

Being a Wedding DJ is arguably the most complex and emotionally charging experience we can have as Entertainmers. It is also the most rewarding career to have. Every wedding is unique and I believe that the music and Entertainment can impact a wedding more than any other aspect of your day. I love what I do and want to ensure everyone from your grandma to your best friend has an equally great time. I want every one of your guests to connect with me as your DJ and feel my passion for the music that I play.

I Guarantee Sore Feet!

I pride myself in treating you and your wedding a little different from everyone else. My approach is to create a unique experience for each and every aspect of your wedding day. I will orchestrate in a unique way that makes your guests feel good about the music and want more. I will be creative in my music choices and artistically create a wedding experience like no other.

"DJing is not just about choosing a few good tunes. It is about generating shared moods, its about understanding the feelings of a group of people and through creativity of music and skill directing them to a better place." – DeeJay Absolute

A Master of Ceremonies or Host plays a very special role in your event. From welcoming your guests and explaining house-keeping rules to hosting games and coordinating speeches, a professional Host is not only the face of your event but is also the heart.

Peace of mind and knowing there will be no hidden surprises is priceless when it comes to the most important day of your lives. You put to much hard work creating the perfect day to have it thrown off by a lack of communication, attention to detail, and potential guest disruptions.

Great Wedding Receptions don't just happen. They need careful planning and more importantly need someone in control to ensure that those plans work successfully. With my experience in Hosting events, I feel I am in an ideal situation to bring your entire vision to life.

"A Professional MC and DJ is the driving force behind all of your hard work and vision…" – DeeJay Absolute

I share your passion for music and design, and will respect you and your vision from the moment we meet. I am different in the way I approach weddings, my clients, and by the core values in which I operate.

It is my core belief that not only the music but the way in which it is played is one of the most important parts of a wedding success. As a professionally trained entertainer, I understand this importance and the impact I can have on the overall experience I leave with you and your guests. I do not take this responsibility lightly and am open to new challenges.

Ready to learn just how different I am? Please check my profile page.

Before I have the pleasure of meeting, please check out my website and review the Top Questions to ask a DJ.

My Personal Client Guarantee
"I will will exceed all your expectations and make every moment and song choice count. After all it is the most important day of your lives and I am honoured to be celebrating it with you" – DeeJay Absolute

My website is designed for a guest to help make the most educated, informed decision possible when selecting their DJ and MC. Picking the right DJ and MC that understands your vision and respects your wishes is so critical. Enjoy this process as your efforts will be rewarded.

I always like to meet at a place and time that is most convenient for you. You probably have many questions to ask; indeed, I have many questions to ask you and would welcome the opportunity to explain the whole process.

Congratulations on your recent engagement. I can not wait to meet you!

Wedding Ceremony Music Suggestions

Ceremonies can be traditional or whimsical, whatever suits the bride and groom best. Do not limit yourself to what you feel should be played if tradition is not your style. On the other hand, it is perfectly acceptable to choose traditional selections if a classic and timeless ceremony is your ideal. Your disc jockey or musician should be able to provide a variety of selections to suit your taste.

Below is a list of the most classic pieces for wedding ceremonies:

Processional

“Canon in D” (Johann Pachelbel)

“Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin (Richard Wagner)

“Air” from Water Music Suite (George Frederic Handel)

“Wedding March” from The Marriage of Figaro (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

“Trumpet Voluntary in D” (Henry Purcell)

“Trumpet Voluntary” (Jeremiah Clarke)

“Trumpet Voluntary” (John Stanley)

“Guitar Concerto in D Major, Largo” (Antonio Vivaldi)

“Te Deum” (Marc-Antoine Charpentier)

“Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” (Johann Sebastian Bach)

“Overture” from Royal Fireworks Music (George Frederic Handel)

Traditional Songs for the Recessional

“Ode to Joy” (Ludwig von Beethoven)

“Wedding March” from A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Felix Mendelssohn)

“Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, Allegro” (Johann Sebastian Bach)

“Brandenberg Concerto No. 4, Allegro” (Johann Sebastian Bach)

“Hallelujah Chorus” from The Messiah (George Frederic Handel)

“Spring, Allegro,” from The Four Seasons (Antonio Vivaldi)

“Toccata,” from Symphony 5, opus 42 (Charles-Marie Widor)

“Trumpet Tune and Bell Symphony” (Henry Purcell)

Again, a wide variety of more contemporary, unique selections are also appropriate for wedding ceremonies. You may choose the popular versions by the original artists, or in some cases, softer instrumental versions (such as those on piano or classical guitar) are available as well. Your DJ or musician can guide you to the available versions of your songs of choice.

Processional

“Wedding Processional” from The Sound of Music (Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein)

“All I Want Is You” (U2)

“Ribbon in the Sky” (Stevie Wonder)

“Falling Slowly” (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)

“Angel” (Sarah McLachlan)

“Only Time” (Enya)

“To Make You Feel My Love” (Adele)

“This Year's Love” (David Gray)

"Forever" (Ben Harper)

Contemporary/Alternative Selections for the Recessional

“Signed, Sealed, Delivered” (Stevie Wonder)

“Your Love (Is Lifting Me Higher)” (Otis Redding)

“Here Comes the Sun” (The Beatles)

“This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” (Natalie Cole)

“Tonight, Tonight” (The Smashing Pumpkins)

"Oh, Happy Day" (various artists)

"The Sweetest Thing" (U2)

"I'm Yours" (Jason Mraz)

Wedding Planning Check List

Hiring Wedding Vendors

A wedding day is comprised of multiple vendors coming together to create the perfect ceremony and reception. The wedding planner presents the bride, groom, parents or any other party involved in the planning process with options for each vendor service. This includes rental equipment, caterers, reception venues, florists, cake and dress designers, a DJ or band, an officiant, and any other wedding necessities. The planner offers recommendations of vendors with whom she has had a pleasant past experience. The planner will note the bride and groom's style and requirements and relay this information to each vendor to ensure the couple is pleased with all aspects of the wedding day.

Communication

The planner maintains all contact and communication with the vendors. If the vendors have a question or concern, the planner can usually address these issues without involving the couple. If necessary, the planner will relay any questions to the bride or groom and then report back to the vendor. The wedding coordinator must make certain that all vendors arrive on time on the day of the event. Each vendor should have the coordinator's cell phone number in the event of an emergency.

Working with the Wedding Party

The coordinator must instruct the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, parents and officiant on how to stage the ceremony and make entrances at the beginning of the reception. This often involves working with the musicians or DJ to ensure attendants enter and exit at the correct time. The coordinator should also instruct the best man and maid of honor when to give their speech during dinner. If any attendants have issues or questions on the day of the wedding, they should direct them to the coordinator instead of the bride, groom or parents.

Assisting on the Wedding Day
The coordinator is available to assist the bride and groom with whatever they need on the day of the wedding. The coordinator is armed with hairspray, mints, tissues, makeup, perfume and anything else the bride may need immediately before the ceremony or reception. The coordinator may need to help the bride bustle her dress after the ceremony, provide more comfortable shoes, or assist with hair and makeup touch-ups.
