Albany NY DJ | Stressed out wedding couples ... don't be one of them.

One thing is for certain. If you're planning a wedding you're probably going to be stressed out. It's one of the biggest events in a person's life and everyone wants it to go perfectly.

There's tons of details to attend to, suggestions from friends and family members, delicate family issues to deal with and obvious differences of opinions among those helping to plan the wedding -- to name just a few. Sometimes the budget gets strained adding even more stress. So, is there anything that can be done about it?

Well, yes and no. There's probably no way to eliminate all the stress of planning a major event like a wedding, but here are some suggestions.

Start planning as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time to attend to all the details. Book your venue, photographer and DJ first if you want someone good because once they're gone, they're gone.

Invitations, menus, dresses, tuxedos and the like can all be chosen later. A florist can handle multiple weddings in a day just by sending out a delivery truck to deliver the flowers to the church and banquet hall. With advance notice even a baker can make several cakes for that special day.

It's your big day and it should reflect your vision and commitment to each other. But, be willing to compromise where you can and discuss ideas with friends and family. They're probably eagerly awaiting your big day as much as you and want some of their ideas incorporated, too. Remember, long after the wedding day is over you still have to deal with family and friends. Make the wedding a shared event that brings everyone closer together if you can manage it.

Be sure you hire experienced professionals to work with who are part of the solution and not part of the problem. Your photographer and DJ, if experienced, will work together as a finely oiled machine if they've done lots of weddings.

Your photographer is there to capture all the memories and happening at your special day.
Your Albany NY DJ will not only handle your party but will be the Master of Ceremonies for your event and will be up front entertaining. He or she can make or break your wedding. So be sure you find someone reliable, easy to work with and knowledgeable who will make your jobs of being the bridal couple easy.

Finally, keep in mind that, when under stress, everything looks bigger and seems more important than it probably really is. Try to keep things in perspective and maintain a calm, understanding approach to wedding planning and things will go just fine!

If you have issues, problems or just a story you'd like to share, post it here -- we'd all love to hear from you. For more information please visit my web site at Albany NY DJ.

Should I choose a DJ who uses Mp3's or CD's ... does it really matter?

Years ago all DJ's played vinyl records because that's all that was available and the quality was excellent. A few DJ's today still spin vinyl but usually only in nightclub or competition situations.

Jump ahead to CD's which are digitally mastered. The actual sound quality of a CD is slightly inferior to that of a vinyl record -- but it's doubtful many could really hear the slight difference. In addition, CD's give a much cleaner sound without all the pops, hisses and needle scratching of records. The debate rages on but the fact is that the vinyl record is, for all practical purposes, dead in the water in today's marketplace.

Jump forward again to the mp3 generation. Here we are definitely trading convenience and portability for sound quality. An mp3 just doesn't have the sound quality of a CD. There's no way it could have the same quality. There's significantly less digital information on an mp3 than on a CD.

Recording studios and artists spend tens of thousands of dollars to produce the highest quality audio money can buy ... so do you really want to convert that great sound to an mp3 and destroy much of that quality?

The answer is probably, yes, when you're carrying your music around on your mp3 player or cell phone. It's just darn impractical and inconvenient to carry CD's around during the day at work, while jogging, etc. But do you really want mp3's at your wedding or party?

Usually DJ's who carry mp3's do so for their convenience because mp3's are stored on a laptop or other CPU based machine and are much lighter to carry and easier to transport than CD's and require a lot less space. Also, mp3's are easier to search and use. But that portability and convenience comes at a cost.

In spite of the few who assert that mp3's are good enough and sound fine over high quality pa and sound equipment the fact remains that they can never sound as good as the digital information stored on a CD because the digital info on an mp3 just isn't there once the information is compressed into that format.

Mp3's sound pretty decent on tiny ear buds with an mp3 player, but why amplify poor sound at your wedding or event?

So, which DJ should you choose ... one who uses mp3's or CD's?
It depends on the sound quality you want. And only you can decide what's right for you.

Albany NY DJ - Personality or Professionalism?

Albany NY DJ, Sal Cioppa from Preemo DJ & Entertainment receives a variety of questions that go something like this: "should we look primarily for a DJ with a great personality or one that seems extremely professional?"

Of course you need to have a DJ thats able to connect with the attendees and get the party going... it's also important that he's able to have a sense of humor and let everyone know that he's enjoying himself! No one likes to see a DJ sitting in a chair looking bored.

Even with a great personality, professionalism still plays an important role. Your Albany DJ should be able to handle any unexpected situation that arises. There is never an "ordinary" event. You need a DJ that can think on his feet, "roll with the punches" and make sure he delivers a great event no matter what the circumstances.

So the answer? You need to look for both... just like any relationship. There should be a personal connection between you and your DJ that you feel comfortable with but you also need to make sure they have the expeience and know-how to deal with any situation.

Please visit my website at: Albany NY DJ, to find a professiona DJ with a personality that will make your wedding or special event sizzle!

Choosing Music For Your Wedding

As an Albany NY DJ with many years experience, one question clients repeatedly ask of me is, “Should I choose the music for the dance party at my wedding or should I let my DJ do that?”

Choosing music for your wedding or special event can be a daunting task. Even an experienced DJ can’t reliably predict in advance the musical twists and turns your party might take. Some DJ’s will attempt to program an entire evening’s music, and even though some music seems to have fairly universal appeal, there’s still no assurance that will be the music you and guests really want to hear.

An experienced DJ will start out playing great music people recognize and then gradually explore the genres of music best suited to the party. Requests will be made by guests, the dance floor will fill for certain tunes and lots of energy will be created by songs that are popular and familiar to your guests requiring your DJ to shift gears quickly to adapt to the desires of your guests.

A DJ with years of experience has the feel and finesse to be gently guided by the listening audience to arrive at the best mix of music ensuring a great party and a fun time for everyone. Your DJ is uniquely qualified for this task.

My advice, in general, would be to give your DJ wide latitude in choosing music on the fly as that’s the major skill they bring to the table. It’s essential the bride and groom have input into the music selection process. And you should, of course, be working with an experienced DJ you feel confident is up to the task. But then let your DJ do what he or she does best.

Give a good DJ free rein at a party and you’ll most likely have a great party.
