Wedding Stats - 72% of all Brides

It seems that DJ's are last in line.  Many brides start with choosing a nice venue, move to the food, the flowers, the photographer, and leave little budget for the entertainment.  Hopefully these stats will shine some light on what's most important and most memorable:

• 72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.
• Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.
• Within one week after their reception, 78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!
• When asked 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.

"The Story"

Every good business should start with a story and boy do I have one...

How it all got started...
 
As my minutes-to-be wife stepped out ready to walk down the aisle, I looked over at my friend and gave him the nod. This is the moment I had been waiting for.
I was envisioning her in her white dress practically floating down the aisle to the music we picked out and that’s when it happened. The Love Shack.  It happened. Loudly!
I look at the crowd hoping they didn’t hear what I was hearing. The seconds it was playing felt like an eternity. Thankfully the B52’s were quickly extinguished and replaced with Canon in D. You hear about things going wrong at your wedding... This was just the first thing. Earlier in the year one of my groomsmen and I made a deal. I would DJ his wedding and he would DJ mine.  It sounded great at the time, but you can imagine the disaster that ensued. Let’s just say that the night didn’t turn out like I had in my head. I will spare you all the details for now, but bottom line is he didn’t realize DJing a wedding is different than DJing a club or a house party. A LOT different!

This is the night that Nice Guys DJ became a thought.

• What if there was a DJ who understands a wedding timeline?
• What if there was a DJ who knows how to interact with and read a diverse crowd?
• What if there was a DJ who loved consulting with the bride and groom beforehand to make sure he knows how to capture the vision they have for their night?

So I started doing my research.  I began speaking with newly married couples asking what they liked and disliked about their wedding DJ.  The number one response in the dislike category was “Cheesy DJ”.  I also noticed as I attended weddings that no DJ had the complete package - He might be good on the mic, and play terrible music.  Or his music selection might be great, but the visual presentation poor.

I desired to be that complete wedding DJ package. Learning from some of the best coordinators and from my own experience, I have developed a sense for the new traditional wedding timeline as well as the most unconventional. My performance background has helped shape me as a wedding MC. Making the transitions in your wedding seamless and fun. I know it has been a successful night when the guests are begging for an encore of more songs when it’s time for the last dance.
One thing I love most is hearing the stories about the couple and really listening to their vision for their day.  The DJ service that I provide is about a relationship with my clients - not just a transaction.

Today, Nice Guys DJ is one of Atlanta’s most sought out wedding entertainers.

We would love nothing more than to make your wedding the "Night of Your Life!"

Mission: To provide a unique entertainment experience with a touch of elegance and class each and every time we perform.  "Unique, Elegant, Reliable"

Nice Guys DJ Equipment

Let's be honest... this stuff is really boring for brides and grooms.  Most couples could care less if I use EV, Mackey, or Mickey Mouse speakers.  All you want is your wedding to be exciting and amazing!  

Over the years I've grown as a DJ and raised my standards to the highest level.  I've seen that amazing equipment produces amazing results.  And mediocre equipment produces mediocre results.  Scroll down and take a look at our standard sound equipment that we promise will create an unforgettable event! 

The DN-MC6000 Mixer and MIDI Controller is a 4-channel/eight-source standalone digital DJ mixer with MIDI interface and internal sound card. With an astounding amount of features, realtime channel matrix operation, slim tabletop design, state-of-the-art solid steel chassis construction and quality sound, the DN-MC6000 is one of Denon DJ's flagship controllers. Also acting as an audio interface (with a 2-in/2-out stereo soundcard included), the DN-MC6000, when paired with the user's software of choice, is a turnkey control solution for mobile DJs and party DJs, and a clear centerpiece to any DJ rig.

15 inch woofer and 1000 watt amplifier in the Electro Voice ELX115P Live X Powered PA Speaker deliver extended lower frequencies and room-filling volume.

 Who uses turntables anymore?  We do!  Brides LOVE the look, feel, and sound of vinyl!  This in combination with the DN-MC 6000 Mixer we are able to tap into 20 Million songs at any given time!

This is what makes people dance!!!  The JBL JRX118SP is A 300-watt (continuous, 500W peak) Powered Sub

Love mixing with my blue Beats Pro by Dre!
