Entertainment Event Planner (pre-wedding- coming from an “entertainment and guest interaction” perspective)

The ability to leverage my experience of performing at over 1,100 weddings personally to become your trusted advisor for practical help in creating the vision, transition, flow and more. (this role is often placed on me with the assumption that a professional wedding DJ/MC will absorb these responsibilities. However, the services offered in my packages are in NO way meant to replace the qualified, and professional wedding planner. My approach is from an entertainment perspective in leading and directing the audience and how that fully coordinates (and integrates) with all participating wedding vendors to ensure a smooth, worry free flow.

Wedding Event Director (at the wedding / reception, and coming from an entertainment perspective)

The delicate art and science of keeping YOUR entire wedding agenda on track, while seamlessly keeping guests entertained. Yet, keeping the spotlight of attention solely focused on YOU when it needs to be, thereby allowing you to relax, have fun and fully enjoy YOUR day! Critical to this, is a series of checklists, proven procedures, detailed processes and an attention to every wedding detail that is rarely seen, yet an integral part to a smooth, perfect wedding. (it’s the little things, like: making sure the cake knife is at the cake table prior to the cutting of the cake; making sure the Father of the Bride, the Bride, and the Photographer is in the room and ready for the Father / Daughter dance prior to announcing that special dance, etc.) That’s what I do!

Referral Service

Although I won’t make your decisions, we are frequently asked for input on referrals for other wedding vendors. With an extensive list of excellent wedding service professionals that our Brides have been extremely pleased with, there are some great wedding professionals on there! It’s important that you know, we do not get a single penny in referral fees, or compensation (“kick back”) for referring another wedding professional. I want to make sure the consistent quality of their work and the value they provide stands on it’s own merit. (There is absolutely no incentive to me, or Amore’ DJ Entertainment, except for your day to be simply stunning, to make it as easy, worry free, and smooth as possible!)

Sound Engineer & Sound – ultra modern, clean, clear, controlled sound

The ability to create, then control audio design, production and broadcast with a consistent, clean, and clear sound at the wedding ceremony and celebration. Obviously critical, is the proper placement of the gear (and speakers) in a room for maximum clarity, balance, equalization, and appropriate volume levels so your guests will not miss a single announcement, yet create an appropriate volume for dancing near the dance floor, and maintain an appropriate level still comfortable for conversation.

“Creative re-construction” for specially produced audio segments to fully personalize your wedding to your vision, and to take that special moment to improve, preserve, or alter it with music, sound, and the spoken word. This experience is what brings audio to life, personalizing it just for YOU! Here are a few examples…

Amore’ DJ Entertainment “Signature Audio Tribute”™ Sample

Why have the same song as everyone else? How about making that dance really special with the Amore’ DJ Entertainment “Signature Audio Tribute”™

Sing Custom Mix

“From our initial meeting to post event follow-up, Matt was professional and diligent. Matt exhibited extraordinary attention to detail and excellent technical proficiency. He was more than willing to tailor his services to our specific needs and desires and always made us feel as though his primary interest was our satisfaction and not his bottom line. Matt had a robust library of ideas for engaging the crowd and providing unique reception moments.

As a special surprise to me, my wife wanted to sing the opening portion of our first dance song to me and start the dance together after the first chorus. Matt took this request in stride, despite the late notice (the day before). He found multiple versions of our special song and stitched them together to allow for the transition from instrumental to the original, radio version. This effort was definitely icing on the cake for our evening!”

Interactive Entertainment/Crowd Motivator

A gift of creativity when hiring Matt with Amore’ DJ Entertainment, is the unique ability to actively focus an audience through either passive or active involvement and maintain the energy of a room by tapping into different entertainment disciplines like: comedy, magic, acting, singing, dancing, etc to intentionally enhance, improve and move your guests and enhancing the music and dancing for a total wedding experience. Though the Bride is obviously the focus and sole reason for attendance, Brides often ask me for assistance in creating personal, unique and original ideas to interact with their guests. Maybe teaching a dance; writing then performing a “love story” about how you and your fiancé met; host a “Dating Game or Newlywed” parity; and much, much more. (just ask me more when we meet)

Lighting, Design and Media Technician – to create the perfect ambiance and a total experience!

The ability to create the right atmosphere for an event isn’t necessarily what you see, but HOW you see it. To create the overall ambiance and enhance the experience by designing a room according to your vision for maximum enjoyment. This ranges from no lighting, to simple lighting, up-lighting (done correctly), theatrical lighting, intelligent lighting, dance club style lighting, special effects and much, much more.

Video projection systems are also available for short videos, photo montages, and more.

If you want more than basic dance floor lighting as included in many of the base packages, we’ve added a completely separate Creative Lighting Solutions division led by a 9 year theatrical Lighting Designer to design and bring you “the fusion of elegant and unique to create a romantic and memorable wedding WOW!^SM“

Creative Involvement

The realization is, that nobody wants to feel left out at a wedding, yet everyone may not dance. That’s okay! I know how to tastefully invite guests to become an active participant throughout the wedding celebration, and have a great time, where your guests want to dance the night away, or sit and sip coffee and chat.

Comprehensive Personalization

The understanding that YOU have a vision for YOUR day, and that no two Brides are alike, nor are two weddings alike. Brides often look to me for valuable, experienced advice to also make your wedding celebration creative, tastefully unique, fun and entertaining. From key selections on tasteful music for the cocktail hour, music selections for the ceremony, cake, grand entrance and more, I often help my Brides select the traditional events that fit her style, and personality, and methodically craft them into an organized, entertaining script. Then, repeatedly rehearse over and over to ensure proper pronouncement, and to provide a wide variety of music selections: including a music do not play list. When it’s time for the last dance, the agenda, the flow, the creative special touch moments we’ve crafted, along with all the musical selections have been completely and personally customized to fit YOUR unique style, taste, personality and dream for YOUR perfect day.

Roadie

Often overlooked, but I am the person solely responsible for loading in, setting up, and checking all the gear under every possible circumstance: up three flights of stairs, in a blizzard 20 below zero or rain down pour, several hours away, then tearing it down and driving back at 2am. It’s my responsibility to make sure everything is at the event, set up exactly as it’s supposed to be, in perfect working order.

Problem Solver

I am the thinker that is ready, willing and able to plan for any anticipated problem (or potential problem), then synthesizes the information, knowledge and experience to achieve a solution (or have one immediately ready). Frankly, pitfalls are often avoidable through careful preparation, working with a detailed plan, and then crafting a second or even third contingency plan; whether it’s DJ related or not. (A couple of true examples: the bakery hasn’t delivered the cake, and the reception begins in 10 minutes. I’ve already alerted the Banquet Captain and provided all the contact information to them thirty minutes previous; the DJ’s computer crashes, yet they have a secondary computer, detached hard drive and CDs immediately ready; the Groom lost two buttons on his jacket – entrée the emergency wedding kit with needle and thread.
