Well It is that time of the year once again. I am off to Las Vegas for the DJ Convention.

One of the newest trends for weddings is having your very own Photo Booth. It is a great party favor and alternative to disposable cameras. The photo strips are printed on the spot and given to the guests and also a copy is placed into a memory book for the bride and groom to take home.

The End Of The Corporate Holiday Season

2008-12-22T12:18:00.000-05:00

Well The Holiday Party season is over. In the last 2 weeks I entertained @ three Parties. The first of the 3 was my largest event of the year with around 850 people this year. It was held in Sandusky Ohio at the Kalahari water park (http://www.kalahariresorts.com/oh/). The event was awesome i was on stage with a local band (New Decade) which rocked the house! I played music video's all night on 4 15' screens. the band and i kept the party rockin' until midnight.

The next night I was at the same location (The Kalahari)(http://www.kalahariresorts.com/oh/) This was my second year Djing for this company. They had about 175 people in attendance. I started the night off with some Trivia then went into Dancing. Everyone had a great time and danced until the end. This was a busy night @ the Kalahari they had 11 holiday parties and still managed to pull off great catering and flawless night.

The Next Friday December 19th Was my last holiday party of the year. It was at a local 5 star restaurant called Chez François (http://www.chezfrancois.com/)The Food Is Superb and the wait staff is top notch. I played dinner music for about 45 people and started out after with a few games then opening the dance floor. Everyone had a good time and danced until 11:30 Pm.

Shelley also DJed a Holiday party for The Willard American Legion (http://www.willardpost514.org/) As always everyone had a great time. Singing Karaoke and dancing the night away.

Corporate Holiday Season Is here!

2008-12-10T12:42:00.000-05:00

Well my holiday party's have kicked off this year. It started last Saturday with a small business from Sandusky Ohio at Plum Brook Country Cub. There were about 50 people in attendance including about twenty new employees. I do a lot of interactive stuff with this group like some team building games etc. I was asked to break in the new employees as this was their first holiday party.

So I called each one of them up by name and got them playing a game or two. It was a blast they had a bunch of fun and the business owners loved every minute of it. I am already in the book for next year!

Gary our newest DJ entertained at his first holiday party the same night. This party was held at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Norwalk Ohio. He had about 70 people in attendance and had a blast. They did some holiday Trivia and dancing for 5 hours. Great Job Gary!

Now on to this weeks event Tuesday Junior High Dance, Wednesday Game Show Trivia, Thursday Karaoke, Friday night big holiday party at the Kalahari for around 1000 people and Saturday back at the Kalahari for another holiday party for about 300 people.

Sandusky Ohio Local Reception Halls

2008-12-02T16:50:00.000-05:00

I was sitting in my office today when I received a phone call from a young women getting married in Sandusky Ohio. She was looking for a DJ for her entertainment at her wedding reception. We talked a little and I found out she did not have a hall for her wedding reception. So I gave her my opinions on what to look for when renting hall or banquet facility.

First thing to do is figure out how many guests you are inviting to your reception. This will have a major influence on your choice of halls or banquet facilities. For example some smaller halls can not hold more then 100 people. Some banquet facilities have a minimum number of guests. So if your head count is lower then this they will not let you book the room as they could book it out for lager parties.

This is not an exact count but some of the smaller halls or banquet facilities for150 or less in the Sandusky area are. Sandusky VFW, Sandusky American Legion, Sandusky UAW, The Grotto, The Realtor Hall, Sandusky Elks, Sandusky Orioles.

In the Norwalk Area: Norwalk VFW, Norwalk UAW, Norwalk American Legion, Milan Town Hall – Free to all Milan Residents.

150 People or more in the Sandusky area; Kalahari Nia Canter I have done events up to 1,000 people at this location, Sandusky Yacht Club, Castaway Bay, Lyman Harbor, Mesenburg's (Huron area) Colonnade Milan area) and Bronson’s in Norwalk area.

Second thing to consider is budget how much per person you are going to spend on dinner. Does this include drinks? Tax? and Gratuity? All these need to be factored into your budget unless you are having a cash bar or brining in your own alcohol. Most Banquet Facilities will not let you bring in your own alcohol. On the other hand most Halls like the VFW’s and UAW’s will allow you to bring in your own.

Next is location. What are you looking for? Great View, Elegant Room / Building, maybe it is a destination wedding and you need a hotel close by. For great views the top halls in the Sandusky area are Sandusky Yacht Club and Lyman Harbor. For elegant rooms the top banquet facilities are Sandusky Yacht Club, Colonnade, Lyman Harbor, Kalahari and Mesenburg’s. The other halls are not bad you just have to do your own decorating.

Hopefully you found this information helpful. I will write more as a think of things.
