"We were so lucky to have P.J. Windle DJ our wedding. Even though we didn't live nearby, PJ was extremely easy to contact and work with leading up to the big day. My husband was extremely picky about the type of music we had at the reception and PJ was very willing to follow his requests while also knowing what to play to get our crowd up and dancing. Everyone had such a blast at our wedding and many, many people commented that it was due to the wonderful DJ! The DJ can make or break a wedding, and P.J Windle definitely MADE our wedding. I would recommend him 100 times over!"
What can we say... PJ MADE our wedding!!!! From the moment we sat down with them and explained to them we were not looking for the "typical" wedding music, they knew exactly what we meant. They were highly professional, so kind, and listened to every vision we had and made them all come true. We would without a doubt highly recommend them to anyone we know. Everyone loved the music and couldn't stop talking about how awesome they were. They kept the party going until the very end. Music is a huge part of our lives and they just plain 'got it". Thank you so very much for everything. You guys rock!
PJ, from Essential Sounds Entertainment, was the first vendor we booked. My husband and I saw him officiate and DJ our friend's wedding and knew we had to have him at ours. He is so sincere and delivered our love story perfectly. So many of our guests thought he was a close friend with how he spoke of us and he made our ceremony special. He is unbelievably charismatic and also a phenomenal DJ, such a professional and wonderful to work with. We were also a COVID couple and he was extremely flexible with postponements. I highly recommend working with him as your officiant and DJ!

The short answer to this question is No. To elaborate, we try to be in tune with exactly what you are looking for, so for one event, more interaction might be needed while another event requires far less physical interaction. We are always enthusiastic, exciting and willing to do what is asked... but we understand that different levels of participation is required at each event. You tell us how much you want... and we make sure the entertainer provides that level of participation without being over the top.
There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of entertainment. These factors include date, location, times, optional items such as lighting, LED TV's, photo montage package etc. Our packages are custom priced to fit the unique ideas of your day. We don't do standard pricing for this reason. Each party is unique and therefore the package put together for your day should be unique to your needs as well.
Experience allows for an overall confidence in your entertainer's skills and ability to give suggestions that consider the many aspects that go into music planning. Simply having experience is not enough though. Your entertainer should be personable, respectful and ultimately willing to give you exactly what you are looking for, as long as it's both do-able and reasonable. Along with this concept should be a developed sense of "what works". Knowing that the ultimate decision is yours, we find it's always helpful to give educated suggestions and be able to think of alternative ideas that would fit into your vision.
Meeting with the exact Emcee that you are looking at is extremely important. I always relate it to taking a vehicle out on a test ride. You head out onto the road, end up enjoying the features and the amenities, but when you arrive back at the dealership, they offer you a "similar model". Every entertainer provides a different personality and you might connect with one personality a bit more than another. It also creates a bit of transparency. The entertainer you meet face to face with is the entertainer that you will be in contact with from start to finish. The information you give that entertainer is ultimately never going to have to pass through other people to make it to them.
We don't just suggest request lists, we promote the idea of being as involved with your music selection planning as possible. Our focus is to customize the music experience to fit exactly what you want. If you feel that your music is a bit unique, give us the names and artists and allow us the ability to suggest where, when it is played. The fact is, if there is a way to fit it in, we are excited to make it happen. Our entertainers have lots of creative suggestions for how to customize certain aspects of the wedding to be more representative of what you enjoy. It's your big day, it should sound like YOU programmed it!
