As someone that does over 100 wedding ceremonies a year I have to wonder nextgen.............................
Other then making the B/G happy that you were at their rehearsal what does going to the rehearsal accomplish that can't be done on the wedding day unless your wife is acting as the wedding coordinator for the ceremony also.
Cesar, I find that many times. I'm the most experienced person at many of our weddings. I also find that our brides "LOVE" coming down the isle to practice with the music for their wedding. I bring a very simple system to rehearsals. One tripod, one ipod and one battery powered speaker. Many times it allows me access to the venue and planners. Some of them I have not been to before, nor have I done a walk through, so it allows me to do this also. My ultimate goal is to give our clients a feeling of security of how their day will goal. And more times than I care to count, Our couples are confused or inexperienced and I help them through the whole process. Trust me when I say there are quite a few venues around my area that when they hear we are the MC/DJ's give us major props to the couple of such a wise choice.
What better advertisement could you ask for? Most or our planners and officiants around here love us as well. Our couples also know that I only come if I'm available, and so many of them plan their rehearsal around not just there family and friends but us as well. I work downtown Modesto. Were many of our weddings taking place, many times I will leave my day job after changing clothes and go right to the rehearsal. Short and sweet, well organized and prepared. And you are right Cesar. I hear it all the time from venues that DJ's don't come to the rehearsals. I want to be different but in a good way. I also know they Multi Ops that charge 500 - 1000 dollars more than me do come to them. Again they are truly my main competitors.
Here is the review from our last two weddings. Both of them referrals:
This DJ was so good! He was actually more than just a dj... He was the one who kept everything flowing.. Announced each part of the wedding, made jokes, and had wireless mic ready for speeches. He was very thorough in planning and his opinions were very helpful. He was always on top of everything and always responded in a timely manner. He had a page for us to plan our music we wanted from home. He even came to our rehearsal on his own time so we could practice with our music! He was very professional, arrived in a tux and made the event super fun! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have a stress free night. I was not worried one bit just based on how much we spoke during the planning process, he had everything ready... Full of energy great music we always had people on the dance floor. Great choice!!! No regrets at all!!!
DJ Dave and his wife made our wedding a night that will truly be remembered by everyone in attendance. Our neighbors had used TNG DJ for their wedding and we value their referral. They were extremely accommodating on meeting times, phone calls, etc. My husband and I really needed guidance on how the flow of the reception should go and luckily for us TNG had tons of experience. Dave communicated with all of our other vendors to make our night flawless. The voice over and the rose for the father/daughter and mother/son dance was such a special touch. TNG is so much more than a DJ service- he was the MC for the night and did great with that as well. Everyone we have spoken to has said great things about the music and dancing. He even made me a video of my father and daughter dance, which was so special because we didn't get a videotape of it! Means the world!
TNG is professional, accommodating, fun, organized, timely, etc. If you have a special event, especially a wedding, this is the company to choose! Not one complaint from us! Thank you TNG!
The video that the one bride speaks of was not done for her but for us. But she asked all her facebook people to post any pictures. She also had no one that filmed her father and daugter dance which we had done a voice over for. When I asked if she wanted it. She was surprised and very happy.
No disrespect at all intended towards Gen.
