Wedding Insurance: Is It Worth It?

Even though I got married just a few months ago, a recent newspaper article shed light on a topic my wife and I hadn’t discussed in our own wedding planning: wedding insurance.  Believe it or not, there are insurance companies which will protect the investments you make in preparing for your wedding day.  But is a policy really worthwhile, or would you be better off spending the money on something else?

Why You Might NOT Want to Hire This Other DJ

There are many important questions you should ask when you’re looking to hire a DJ.  One important question that’s often overlooked is this one: “If we hire you, will YOU personally be the DJ at our wedding?”  Sounds like a silly question at first, but not after you see this classified ad posted in Syracuse during January 2012.

Photos: Children’s Consortium Open House, 12/8/11

A couple years ago, I did a video voiceover for the Children’s Consortium of Syracuse, and they asked me back to DJ their holiday open house.  It was a little over two hours of Christmas tunes, designed to appeal to both the kids and the parents in attendance. [More »]

Wedding Photos: Zach & Alyssa, 9/3/11

Another wonderful wedding to cap off the “unofficial” end to summer 2011.  Zach and Alyssa got married over Labor Day weekend, and their reception at Orchard Vali Golf Club in LaFayette was a blast.  Their guests love to dance — keeping the floor filled right up to the end at 11:30pm.  The crowd was so enthusiastic, we actually went a few minutes past with an extra encore song.   [More »]

Wedding Photos: Greg and Kristen, 8/20/11

One of the “perks” of being a DJ is getting to see all sorts of new places around the area.  For my latest DJ booking, I took a scenic drive from Syracuse up to Sodus Point, in Wayne County, specifically, to the Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club. [More »]

Wedding Photos: Ken and Rose, 7/23/11

When you’ve got one of the hottest summers in recent memory, the only way to improve on a day at the beach… is to have a wedding there!  Well, OK, it wasn’t planned in that exact order, but everyone still had a blast celebrating Rose and Ken’s wedding at Lake Delta State Park near Rome on July 23.  [More »]

Wedding Photos: Dawn and Joseph, 5/28/11

Had a great time helping Dawn and Joseph celebrate their wedding at The Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown!  I haven’t been to Cooperstown since 1996… while I remember driving past The Otesaga then, I’ve never actually been inside.  Beautiful location, right on the lake.  This reception was unique in that we had two different set-ups: one for the cocktail hour outside on the veranda, then we had to move indoors for the reception.

Questioning My Relatively-Low Pricing?

Many books or websites that offer advice on planning weddings or other large gatherings echo the same advice: you get what you pay for.  They say that you should expect to pay a lot for a “good” DJ, as those offering lower prices usually aren’t that good.  In many cases that’s true.  So why do I charge such low prices?  Can you really trust me to do a great job for your reception?  Allow me to explain.
