Damon explains, “I like to meet up with brides and grooms 2-3 times before the wedding. Weddings are all about pre-production. The more I know about what kind of event my client wants the easier the job will flow. I work with the bride and groom to figure out what formalities they want and work out a timeline with them. I rely on my experience with literally hundreds of weddings to suggest the best flow for the formalities. I speak with the caterer or banquet manager before the event and give them a copy of the Wedding Program that we have worked out. I also bring copies for the photographer and videographer. Everyone needs to be on the same page so the wedding rolls along flawlessly.”
Damon uses a combination of CDs and an iTunes laptop system with a full backup system on every job. He has a separate system for the ceremony, including Sennheiser clip-on wireless microphones and wireless handheld mics for vows and readings, and micing up instruments and performers such as string quartets, guitars and vocalists.
He offers audio integration with the videographer from his mixing console. As one videographer told us, “Not all DJs help out in doing this. It is key that I am able to get good audio during the ceremony, and he has been very helpful by allowing me to utilize his audio system to get the best audio track for the video.”
Packages start at $1250.
“Damon was a complete breath of fresh air. He and I had the same philosophy about the DJ’s role at a wedding—that is, he or she plays the music and keeps the party going, but otherwise remains in the background. No goofy games, embarrassing tricks, or annoying voices. He dressed professionally and his announcement voice was clear and pleasant, without his using that circus-ringleader voice that most DJs are so well known for.”
“My husband and I have very different music tastes. He’s a total music snob—he used to DJ sometimes and is pretty picky about things, while I’m all about ABBA. So…Damon was fantastic. He found a great balance between us musically.”
“Damon does a great job moving the night along and tackling the role of Master of Ceremonies without the night becoming about him. In each wedding I’ve been to that he’s DJ’d—including ours—there has been a very smooth pace to the night.”
“I was absolutely happy with him. 100%. He kept things moving along. The wrong DJ can really spoil everything. But Damon was fantastic. We gave him a detailed play/do-not-play list and he respected the list. Once the dancing got started there was never a lull.”
“My husband and I have really specific tastes and Damon was willing to find all the music he didn’t have on hand. Some DJs won’t play it if they don’t have it, or they make you go get it yourself.”
