Welcome to
Celebration Music and Events'
disc jockey service. In this
section you will find detailed
information about the various
services we offer, the music
library, equipment available,
system operators, pricing, and
contracting information.
This section
should be able to answer many
questions you have related to
our DJ service, however, probably
not all of them. After viewing
this material please contact
us for further information and
to set up a no-cost consultation.
We highly encourage every potential
client to take advantage of
this consultation. At the meeting
you will be able to sit down
with one of our jockeys and
go over details such as the
room layout, the flow of the
event, music, and announcements
without risking any more than
a little bit of your time. |

DJ
Service : |
Celebration
Music and Events' DJ service
is one that is straight forward
and fun. Unlike some other companies
that take commissions for referring
customers to sub-contracting
DJ services, our service is
strictly in-house. By using
our own equipment and DJs we
keep quality and pricing consistent,
allowing us to put our own reputation
behind our service. We provide
experienced, professional disc
jockey services to over 200
events annually ranging from
wedding receptions, reunions,
bar-mitz-vahs and bat-mitz-vahs,
school functions, corporate
events, grand openings and any
event where quality dance or
background music is required. |

 |
|
Our
philosophy here is pretty
simple. Use the best,
most state of the art
equipment for a professional
look and great sound.
Combine that with experience
and individual attention
to create a highly effective
and well received entertainment
service. We understand
that our services are
almost always for very
special occasions such
as weddings, birthdays,
graduations, etc. Therefore,
we take extra time with
each client to help them
decide which jockey and
which services are right
for them.

to support artists by buying

Equipment
: |
Every system
supplied by Celebration Music
and Events comes with a computer
to assist the jockey in running
their event. It is a key element
in delivering the highest quality
mobile sound available. Each
computer is equipped with media
players, a CD player, equalizer,
sound processor, and our extensive
collection of music. We use
both laptops and desktops with
flat panel monitors to deliver
a great digital sound and a
clean, professional appearance.
The rest of the system is tailored
to your event needs.
We have sound
systems to fit occasions of
all sizes. We can provide extremely
large sound systems for college
dances, conventions, concerts,
etc. or we can provide systems
so small that they are hardly
noticeable - visually. The size
of the system will depend on
your needs. The standard sound
system used for weddings, company
parties, and small dances consists
of two and four speaker combinations,
1200 watts of power or more,
and a microphone. The microphone
is a hand-held wireless that
is for both our use and yours.
Standard with
every system we send out is
a set of colored chaser lights
that sit discreetly on our speaker
cabinets. These chaser lights
flash to the beat of the music
in a variety of patterns and
are very helpful in setting
a dancing mood. To further build
a party environment consider
adding additional effects like
mirror balls, strobe lights,
black lights, high-tech lights,
intelligent lighting, fog machines,
and/or bubble machines.

lighting effects we offer. |

The
Jockeys: |
Celebration
Music and Events prides
itself not only on the
quality of the equipment
and the size of our music
library, but also on the
skill and professionalism
of our jockeys. We work
with only a select few
entertainers that have
proven themselves over
an extended period of
time. Our jockeys are
young, enthusiastic, know
the equipment, have a
strong background in music,
but most importantly know
how to speak to and interact
with a crowd. Below you
can find a photo and a
short biography of each
jockey.
