Bridal Shows

Starting January, Wedding Expos, Bridal Shows and Gown Fashion Shows start popping up all over town.  Filled with vendors pushing "great savings" and "show only deals" down your throat!  The reason being is like any other sales strategy, you see it and need it, you should buy it now and don't miss out. REMORSE LATER.

Although certain items can be found at shows that you already know you are going to purchase, services such as entertainment shouldn't be a rushed decision.  I'm not telling you to avoid the expo all together, they have great ideas for your wedding.  Take what you see and compare your options.  You should take the time to interview your DJ, asking them questions that specifically detail your wedding.  Find someone that matches what you want your wedding to be remembered for, and not just the cheapest deal.  All DJs are looking to get booked and fill up their open dates, make sure your date isn't just a "notch on the belt".

Check out some the F.A.Q.s we get asked and prepare a list of questions when you are interviewing your DJ.

Ask us about our Wedding Show Season Specials and go beyond the show.  We pass our savings on to you.

To those looking for that perfect DJ, happy hunting!

Congratulations for the New Year?

Christmas and New Year's is a time spent with family and loved ones.  When everyone is focused on being happy with each other.  The holidays can bring people who haven't spoke in a long time, together to celebrate. This is probably why the winter holiday is the number one time for couples to take the next step and become engaged.  You see it all over social media.  "John and Mary are now engaged". If you are among one the the lucky couples, congratulations!  Now off to the races.

Starting to plan your wedding may seem overwhelming at first.  The is a lot to do, and if you are going to be the wedding planner as well as the married couple, you have your plate full.  Now I can't help you pick out a dress and tux, of decide which napkins look best with the flower arrangements Aunt Betty is making, I can help with the ease of music and entertainment.  With over 20 years of experience DJing Weddings in Billings, Montana, Phoenix, Arizona and everywhere in between, Toonz DJ takes the hassle out of the music aspect of the planning.

 Although many seem to think they can wait and get their DJ booked, it is not a great idea to wait too long.  We book up fast, and if you are scheduling the wedding in the spring-fall, start thinking about your entertainment needs now!  Toonz DJ will be happy to meet with you and go over your ideas and begin planning with you.

Once again, Congratulations!

Now What!?

So you just got engaged. She/he got down on one knee, the next 20 minutes was a blur, and all of a sudden you have a ring on your finger.

Awesome, right?

Getting engaged is one of those life events that you’ll remember forever, and kicks off the beginning of a crazy, amazing, and whirlwind time. But having never been engaged before, you might be asking yourself: What now?!

Well, there’s not one right answer — since this time is all about celebrating you and your fiancé, you should definitely spend it in a way that’s meaningful to both of you!

Once the word is out and everyone knows about the engagement, the real fun starts!  Planning the wedding.  It is important to sit down and write out what you want for your wedding i.e. theme, location, entertainment, etc.

Coming from a DJ, I want to tell you that the entertainment is a very important part of any reception.  You want to be prepared and know how to pick a DJ.

First, start by researching candidates for your big day.  Attend bridal shows, check out websites, talk to friends/co-workers and narrow down to a few DJ's that fit your style.  

Once you have two or three in mind, setup a meeting.  A face to face meeting is generally the way to go, unless you are unable to do so, a phone meeting will work.  Get some questions ready pertaining to your specific requirements.  Some great questions I found from a simple search online.  These come from Brides.com

The Basics + Background Information
• Is my wedding date available? 
• How long have you been in business? 
• How many weddings have you done? How many weddings do you do in an average weekend?
• Do you perform at more than one event in a day?
• Will you be the DJ at our wedding?
• Have you done events at my wedding venue?
• What sets you apart from your competition?

If you like the answers and feel a connection with the DJ, I encourage you to book! Get details on the booking process.  Deposits, cancellation policies, other meetings/planning. Once your DJ is booked, away with the planning you go.  I realize that the entertainment is a small part of the overall planning, however, don't overlook it.  You will be glad you put a little time into it once the big day comes.

Touching base with your DJ before the wedding day is a good way to ensure every one is on the same page.

Have a blast at your reception and enjoy your day!

So congratulations and get to booking!
