We would like for you to think about your Event as if it were a blockbuster movie, whereas you are the producer of your Event. As the producer it would be your goal to hire the very best director to bring all the elements together and turn them into something truly spectacular.
Typically, Hollywood producers will spend more time and scrutiny choosing their director then they will in choosing the actors, because they recognize that it’s the director and his creative talents that will truly set the pace for the movie

Today, probably the most common type of entertainment seen at wedding receptions is a Disc Jockeys or DJ’s. Pretty much as their title implies, their role at a wedding is primarily to play recorded music and energize the dance floor. They will often make announcements when asked and lead typical events as requested, but somebody will still have to guide them as to the who, what, when where and why. Their role at a wedding is generally fairly limited. We typically refer to this style of DJ as a Gig DJ.

Next is the DJ/Master of Ceremonies. This is generally considered a step up from the typical disc jockey as far as the level of professionalism. Ordinarily a good MC/Master of Ceremonies has had additional training in public speaking and basic event direction. Whereas the typical DJ is ideally suited for Night Clubs, Radio, School Dances and Birthday Parties, the Master of Ceremonies is better adapted for formal events and will typically do a much better job of representing you.

Finally... the Wedding Entertainment Director. The Entertainment Director is a professional entertainer who has specialized and is well versed in the art of formal event entertainment. They are highly skilled in developing event plans and timelines that increase crowd participation and involvement. They provide all the services typically associated with both the Disc Jockey and Master of Ceremonies, but ensures that all elements of the event plan come together through the use of music, lighting, coordination and interaction.

We know it takes more than a good soundtrack and good actors to make a great movie. And in the very same way, your Event needs more than just music in order to make it a blockbuster Event.
