The in thing for 2009.

Over the past few years, brides have become more informed, in great part thanks to the internet and technology.

Gone are the days of glazy, smelly fog filling up the air so that the the lighting effects can be easily spectacular, of course at the expense of elegance. Don’t get me wrong, I love the feel of fog and special lighting effects, but not at a elegant wedding or corporate party. I would leave that for the clubs or if you really want an all out party wedding where elegance and formalities are not as important.

For the most part, brides want their special day to be elegant, formal and breathable.

Since DJ’s cannot really sell their very-high-end specail-intelligent-lighting-set-up as easily these days, technology has brought us…

Up Lights, or Decor Lights, or Ambient Lighting, or sometimes referred to as Architectural Lighting…

What is Up Lighting? It is, taking a special light fixture (called a Par Can), flipping it upside down, placing it against a wall or column, and getting a beautiful ray of light against that wall or column. See the pictures below.

Up Lighting Pricing and Information

The ones easily and cheaply available can run anywhere from $8 to $10 dollars to rent or $20-$40 to own. They use a light bulb that outputs 300 – 1,000 watts of light. The downside; the light gets hot, PIPING hot; It’s not ‘going green’ friendly. How hot do they get? You would not want any small children or anyone for that matter around them or close to them as they will get burned if they touch the open bulb. Think of how hot a normal 100 watt light bulb gets, now multiply it by 10!!!

If you are interested in these lights and know they will not be anywhere where kids my get burned, a good source for these style of lights, here in Houston, is Bright Star Productions.

Up Lighting at Elegante Entertainment

We’ve decided to adopt the new technology and go for the much safer, more energy efficient LED up Lights. They consume Less Power (Environmentally Greener), create little to no heat (you can touch them without worrying about getting burned), and they can be adjusted to match any color you may want.

The same light creating the blue green against the wall (above pictures), created the pink. Plus, you could also have them perform your light show when the dancing starts… Isn’t that neat? So they are dual purpose: Dinner Ambient and Dancing Ambient creating lights..

Of course, since these are newer and a lot more expensive to own, they come out a little more to rent. Most places allow you to rent the lights and you can install them yourself or for a fee they can install them for you. You can expect to pay anywhere from $40-$80 Per LED Up Light.

Elegante Entertainment’s Up Light Offer

We are offering LED Up Lights for your event at $35 per can, plus installation charges. However, if you use our DJ service as well as the up lights, the installation charges will be waived. So you get a low priced LED Up Light plus free installation if you use our DJ Service. Which makes sense, why charge you for installation if we are already going to be setting up 1-2 hours before your event.

Combine that with this month’s 12% Discount, and you have a well lit, well entertained wedding reception, at the lowest price in town!!!

Good Things Lead to Good Things

Ok, so we know that is the case. If you do good things you will be rewarded with good things. Sometimes immediately, sometimes days, weeks, months, or years down the road. The same goes for the opposite but we want to focus on the positive.

My personality is that I am a bit on the shy side, however, I am confident enough in what I know and do that brides can pick that up and sense it. I am not an overpowering salesman, I am not an outgoing charming talkative guy. I try to understand EXACTLY what you want and expect from me as your DJ, and I give you what you want and then try to go over the top to keep you overly happy. I’ve always been told that I don’t have the outgoing personality of a DJ, or that I don’t look like a DJ (or their image of a DJ) but I still get booked, how crazy is that? LOL

When high school friends find out that I am a DJ, they are astonished. How can that tall skinny boy who almost never talked, like to be in front of the crowd making announcements, playing music and keeping people dancing? LOL.

I’ve always loved music, I’ve always loved dancing, both go hand in hand and they are my passion, and to some extent my calling in life. I also love to help out and give, more than what is expected.

Some things have come naturally to me, in life; Math, Tests, and wanting to give. Some don’t. Dancing, Public Speaking, making new friends, Reading or Writing. I’ve chosen to take the challenge to become a better person, a well rounded person. To be able to say, although I was not gifted with the natural ability to; Talk in public (i was TERRIFIED with all caps), reach to new people and find common interest, write, or read, I can learn the skills necessary to feel comfortable doing anything. I have.

I am a successful Bilingual Wedding DJ and I’ve taken the responsibility giving to brides exactly what they wanted and then some. I take the responsibility of making sure that EVERYONE is well aware of what is going on, that everyone gets a chance to dance to something they may like, and that everyone knows where the beginning, middle and end of the wedding reception are. I make it my job, my passion to do that and I love doing it.

I don’t over promise, I over deliver.

So today I feel grateful for all those people that I have influenced in a positive way and were grateful enough to take the time and write some positive things about me. I am also grateful of those who don’t do it publicly.

I got a referral from one of the websites that I have my information on, so I traced it back, to see what the website was and what I put on there. I was surprised to see 2 reviews about me. 2 that I had never even imagined would be there. So it was a very positive surprise and just set the tone for the rest of the, day, hell maybe even the rest of the month! I am so happy and excited right now, I could jump off a building just to top that feeling (I’m not, cuz it would hurt when I land).

Here they are:

I will copy and paste them if you don’t want to follow the link!

This is from User name Kristi,

Francisco acted as MC and had a DJ. The played awsome music! He is bilingual which was great to make the few guests from Mexico and Grandma feel welcome. He was very organized (much more than me!) He was attentive to guest activity and had every request. Their equipment seemed new and sounded great!

The second, or actually first in chronological order, was from users; angelicamay and Jason

Francisco was awesome. He seems a little shy when you meet him which is wierd for a DJ BUT he rocked it at my wedding. he did exactly what he needed to do. I told him I wanted to it to be hard for people to sit down because they love every song that is played. That is what happened. At one point we had 2 dance floors. Dont ask me how that happened but it did. He really made ti a party . yay.

Both weddings I remember and well, as you can see being shy does not stop you from doing a great Job DJin or MCing, or anything really. On the contrary, it makes me want to work harder at what I know I HAVE to work harder, in order to do a good job. If you’ve ever tried to translate anything from Spanish to English, on the fly, you understand how hard it is, especially since the Spanish and English structure is completely different.

Thank you two ladies and may God Bless you a million times for this act of kindness!!

Happy Planning!

This thing, Called Love… I can’t Handle it!

thing-called-love

I believe in Love.

I believe in the Power of Love

I believe that Love conquers all and soothes everything.

I believe that Love choses you, you don’t chose it.

When two people meet and fall in love, it’s love that attracts them together.

I cam across a forum post today, somhow, and it was about a man who fell in love with a woman. They got to know each other, but for outside circumstances she had to move to another city where he couldn’t accompany her. She had easily moved on, but he was still struggling to forget about her because he was in love with her and he KNEW they were right for each other. He, however, could not forget about her and was having trouble forgetting her and moving on.

I think most of us have experienced something similar at one time or another in life. It feels like the world, as we know it is over, like someone is stopping the air from reaching our lungs, like our heart pounds harder to make the blood reach the furthest vain… because the blood does not want to circulate, the air does not want to go in… it hurts, it physically hurts.

Love is the strongest emotion anyone can experience; Positive or Negative.

One of the responses to this guy was: I vehemently believe that simple gratitude of the things we do have, heals the hurt of those things we don’t.

Being Grateful is another emotion I believe in. It is as strong as love and can ultimately help this person move on with his life and let love find him again.

Be grateful for what you have this year; family, friends, spouses, children, brothers, sisters… everyone and everything that surrounds you.

Happy Planning
