The Estates at Pecan Park Wedding DJ Preferred Vendor
We are an approved The Estates at Pecan Park Wedding DJ and have been there several times over the last few years. We really enjoy going there and working as we are able to get in set up early enough that we can make sure we have everything I order. I usually arrive to set up as early as 10 am and most of the time by 12 pm. At this event, we were the Preferred DJ Vendor. We are a really good option if you’re in the market for a DJ in Tomball Texas.
Load-in is easy, you can actually see our van on the lower right-hand side of the photo of the front of the Estates at Pecan Park. At this location, load-in is from the side where the kitchen is, and it’s a very short trip into the ballroom. Very ideal for us Wedding DJs.

First, we show a slideshow of key areas in the venue as it applies to the DJ and Photobooth. Additionally, we cover a few of the main areas, bride and groom main table, their custom backdrop, their cake table, the custom banner by the cake, etc…
Then we have a venue tour via video from the outside, into the foyer, and finally, the main ballroom where you can see all their decor. Very lovely and elegant.
Next, we have the grand introductions of the bridal party and bride and groom. All announcements are done in Spanish.
Following that, we have small clips of the dancing throughout the night, and yes even the slow moments where people were either tired or at the photo booth.
The next and final portion is a video of the photo booth, with a few sessions, and one of course, of the bride and groom, enjoying their photo booth rental.
The Estates at Pecan Park Wedding DJ Itinerary
As most of you know, I LOVE to sit down and chat with the bride and groom, days prior to their event. It could be 2 days or 14 days. The important part is getting a timeline down with all of the songs they will want. I even made a very popular youtube video that helps brides plan their wedding itinerary. Here is the one I made with them, the songs were sent to me in a separate email but I was able to get them ahead of time in order to purchase the songs I didn’t have. As you can see from my Itinerary/notes they wanted mainly Spanish music and very few English songs.
