Weddings by Rev. Joe
 This past weekend there were several weddings on the beach. The wedding which used this vendor was by far the most beautiful. I have worked with this vendor on several weddings, and I have seen how they meet the needs of the customer. I highly recommend First City Events for your wedding needs. First City Events will give you a First Class wedding!

If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
we speak with you about your music requests in advance. If we do not have one of the songs you are looking for we do our very best to get it for you. Rarely do we need the couple to provide it themselves.

yes.

yes
 
How much time do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site or client provide a table for you to set up on?
Minimum of 30 minutes, but we like to get there 1 hour prior as to make sure we are ready to go for your event. We can bring our own table, if one is not provided.
 
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
This is up to the client. Our basic DJ package includes announements. Our DJ/MC package is much more interactive for those who want someone to get out on the dance floor and lead the crowd.

Additional Questions and Answers

My main focus is to take the stress out of your most important day while creating the wedding of your dreams. There is too much to do at a wedding for you to do it all yourself. Even if you do not hire me, hire someone. It will be the best decision you make-second only to "I do."
