Wedding DJ Weekly Journey sharing successes!Today is a beautiful day, its nice and sunny… and cool. I love this weather and we don’t get much of it down here in Houston.

I went jogging last night and it was also pleasant weather to do some exercise. Boy am I feeling the burn today :) But hey, no pain no gain right. Well In this case I hope is loss.

I’ve decided to drop some pounds and I’ve tried weight lifting, crunches, and push ups for about 8 months and only lost 10 lbs. as of last night. But the good thing is that they have stayed off while still eating bad, unhealthy food. Pizza, my wife’s home cooking with a lot of grease ;) , fast food, and so on. So my next step is to add cardio and I’ve chosen to do running over purchasing exerciser equipment for a few reasons.

First, I get to enjoy the outside weather, the peace and tranquility of a park, the feeling of freedom, and just getting outside to breathe some fresh, well as fresh as it gets for Houston, air.

Professionl DJ’s are SOOO overpriced.

Houston Ipod Wedding DJsAs a former member of the American Disc Jockey Association and the Houston Chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association I have been able to transform my passion of music into what I love and enjoy doing, week after week. They have given me tools, resources, demonstrations, personal advice, personal assistance and personal care to be able to do it every weekend and to do it good. It is also thanks to them, and a few individuals, that I have been able to acquire the confidence necessary feel good about what I do and to start charging what I deserve to make as a professional entertainer.

What we do as DJ’s is more than just put in a cd, sit down, let the song play, and repeat the process all night long. We study, we practice, we visualize, and we do anything necessary to ensure that we are prepared before every event. Some times we devote up to 20 hours to a single event; Sometimes more and sometimes less. So when asked why we charge $600+ for a 4-5 Hour event, that is the answer we will usually give you. It’s not only 4-5 Hour of enjoyable work for us and time away from our families (my wife, my daughters) whom we work so hard for. It’s also all that time that does not go accounted for, planning the schedule, driving to meetings, reading and learning new activities, organizing the the entertainment agenda, arriving 1-2 Hour before the event, leaving 1-2 Hours later, and not to mention our accumulated knowledge and experience of how to make an event fun, enjoyable, and overall exciting for everyone.

So what have people started doing?

The newest trend is to rent out small DJ equipment, purchase or use an existing Ipod, downloading the music and letting the Ipod do the entertaining.

Good alternative right?

See for yourself, the American Disc Jockey Association has released a video of an actual wedding where they decided to use an Ipod for their reception.

See it here:

Happy Planning!

Songs for a Father Daughter Dance

Father Daughter Songs - DJ Houston Wedding Quinceanera Hispanic BilingualFinding that special song to dance with your father is part of the planning process. It has to say the right words and it must represent the relationship between the father and the daughter. I’ve just come across two new songs that can be used as a father and daughter dance, whether at a Wedding or a Quinceañera. They are absolutely wonderful. Check them and remember, these have not been over-used and if you are looking for something new that nobody else has played as their father and daughter dance, you might have just found that special song Continue reading →
