Meg & Skip’s Wedding Reception – The Society Room of Hartford CT – DJ and Lighting

Meg & Skip are from the RI area, but found the Society Room of Hartford and fell in love with the space. They quickly realized that they wanted to do up-lighting in this space and the room was just a-glow with our amber lighting. Take a close look at Meg's dress - it was just stunning! It was probably the most amazing wedding dress that I've seen in my 20+ years doing this.

They were heavily involved with their music selection for their reception - NO GUEST REQUESTS were allowed. From Dire Straits to Bob Marley to Death Cab For Cutie and Floggy Molly - it was a very unique night.

Introduction Songs: Duke of Earl (her dad's name is Earl), Don't Stop Believin - Journey
First Dance: If I Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly
Meg & Dad's Dance: Father & Daughter - Paul Simon
Meg & her Brother: Free Fallin' - Tom Petty

DJ Origins – How Did Rob Alberti Become The Most Requested Wedding DJ In Western MA and Connecticut?

Many people ask how I got into DJing. With any good story, it starts way way back – it was around 1983 and I was attending Southwick High School. I was always actively involved in student government and we found ourselves trying to put on a dance as a fundraiser but we could not afford a band (DJs were pretty scarce back then – equipment was just about non-existent).

I was already a huge music buff and had a big stereo. I figured that if I wired my stereo together to my friend’s stereo, that we could hold our own dance. With a little ingenuity and a lot of sweat, the dance was a success and a light bulb went off in my mind. Why not do this to work my way through college?

I had plans on being a Mechanical Engineer and had been working at a local farm some 48 hours a week for the past 4+ years saving for college. (That’s what kids did back in the day – we saved for college and bought beer with whatever was left over) I thought Djing would be better than flipping burgers trying to put my way through college.

I took a large chunk of the money that I had saved up for college and bought my first set of DJ gear and a used Dodge Van tricked out with blue shag carpeting on the inside. Just about every weekend, I would make the trip from Troy, NY back to Western MA to DJ a school dance, party or bar. These were the vinyl and cassette tape days. You can ask your parents what vinyl was. (A little bigger than a CD and they warped in sunlight)

As my engineering career stared after college, I continued to DJ on the weekends to make some extra $. With layoffs in the early 90’s hitting the aerospace industry hard, I looked at DJing with renewed interest. I decided to stop treating it like a hobby and more like a real business. The business grew and soon I no longer had the time to go to my engineering job. I parted ways to pursue DJing full time about 10 years ago.

With over 15 DJs on staff, we have morphed into one of the largest event service companies in the area. Starting your own business is like having another child – I am proud of all of my children and how they’ve grown over the years. With more than 25 years in business, we look forward to many more fun filled years helping our clients create lasting memories. Thank you & thanks to all of my staff.

The Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown CT – Jameira and Greg’s Wedding

The weather did not quite cooperate for an outdoor ceremony, but it did clear up for Jameira and Greg's family and friends to enjoy the outdoors for social hour. Their ceremony was held in one of the side rooms which was later converted into a lounge area with couches and comfy furniture.

Their vows were just amazing as their Justice of the Peace told their love story. It was one of the best ceremonies that I have witnessed in years.

We provided ceremony microphones, DJ services and up-lighting throughout the mansion. We were originally going to do some outside lighting, but with the weather we shifted it all inside. We even projected this cool floral pattern on the walls in the dance area.

50th Wedding Anniversary – Torrington CT Elks – Great Party Planning Ideas

We had the opportunity to play at the Torrington CT Elks the other week for Pat & Fred's 50th Anniversary Celebration. First - let me say what a cute couple they were! Second - wow. Was I surprised at the Torrington Elks club. What a BEAUTIFUL facility. You would never know it from the outside, but this place is amazing. What grand architecture!

Here are some great hints to putting on a successful anniversary party:

Find some old photos of the couple from when they were dating or their wedding day and either create a poster board to display or have showing on a laptop or plasma screen so everyone can enjoy the old photos
Find a special song from their past and play it so that they can dance together
Find someone in the family to give a wonderful toast about the couple - fill the toast with interesting facts about their life together
Have a wedding cake and have the couple cut and feed each other
Hire a photographer to get group photos (or rent a photobooth) to capture all these guests as a token of the occasion.
Use website such as http://iwannagetthat.com/ to let guests know what things cost on the year that they were married
Keep the party short - 4 hours is probably enough time - this is not a dancing crowd. The party should be held in the afternoon and try to keep food service around the normal time to eat (Noon - 1pm). Your older guests will appreciate the fact that they do not have to drive in the dark and that they can eat and socialize with friends and family.

Cranwell Resort in Lenox MA – Corporate Retreat – Karaoke Party

Want something unique for your next corporate retreat? This client opted to do a combination of DJ and Karaoke. There were actually a couple good singers in the crowd (and that's not necessarily the case when you are doing karaoke).

Comparing One DJ To Another – How Do You Choose?

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. Choosing a photographer never seems as difficult as finding an entertainer. With a photographer – you can see their work and feel the photo album in your hands. If you love their work, it’s time to arrange a meeting. You meet with the photographer and as long as you feel comfortable with them and can live with their prices – then you have found the right photographer for you.

With a DJ – unless you’ve been to a wedding and experienced their skill in running a wedding and maintaining an active dance floor – how exactly can you know who is the right DJ for you? There is only so much you can learn about a wedding disc jockey from a brochure. Is the picture on the brochure from one of their events or is a “stock photo” that their graphic designer just used?

I like to think that the internet is a wonderful tool to help you make an educated choice in finding a quality wedding entertainer. Here are five things to look for:

1. URL (Web address) and Email Address – if their web address is a FREE website (myspace, yahoo) or email address is a Gmail or Yahoo address – this could be a warning sign of a “starter” DJ service or someone that does not take their business seriously (and probably will not take your wedding seriously either)

2. Photographs – do they have photos of their DJ set-up at a wedding? Does it stand out? Are their wires showing? Do they have a self-promoting sign? Will it fit into your wedding décor or will it stand out as an eye sore?

3. Video & Audio clips – do they have video (raw footage as opposed to edited) or audio clips of their performance? You especially want to hear your DJ perform a typical introduction. Are they fluent with their speech? Do they stumble with name pronunciations? How is the flow from one couple to the next? Does their voice match the introduction music pace?

4. When you call your prospective DJ – do they answer their telephone? If you had to leave a voicemail, did they return your call within 24 hours? How quickly do they respond to emails? A DJ’s responsiveness is a reflection of their customer service. How would you feel if the week prior to your wedding – your DJ took 3 days to return a call or email?

5. Up-to-date information – If their website or literature looks like it has not been updated in years – it is a warning sign. Stay away. Your DJ should not look like a throw back from another time. This is a sign of a stagnet DJ – someone that still plays the same music and all of their weddings are a poor copy of the one before. Who wants this at their own wedding? Weddings should be unique and memorable and should cater to the client’s vision.

If you have concerns about a prospective DJ – google them “The Pro’s Complaints” and see what past clients have to say about their experience. Good luck in planning your wedding!.
