DJ & Saxophonist (Live)

Want to add that extra special touch to your wedding day?

The DJ and Saxophone combination will tear the roof of the dance floor with energy and soul. This unique combination will deliver an exceptional experience for guests and will perform your favourite selected tracks.

This idea is simple where the DJ plays music anywhere from chill beat, Deep House, Top 40 charts, dance classics, 70's/80’s /90’s and our cool Saxophonist will join in harmony producing sweet sounding music vibes, This saxophonist will be connected up to the sound system via a wireless microphone allowing him to move around the dance floor freely and even dance with the guests.

The DJ & Saxophonist package can be used either for prior the first dance where more chilled music is played or after the first dance where more upbeat is played. Although there are these 2 options the Saxophonist works best before the first dance as the musician will have more room in the frequency spectrum of the music to improvise and create melodies on top.

DJ & Saxophonist demos can be heard here.

Wedding DJ vs Club DJ

The main difference is that in a wedding scenario the attention is on the bride & groom whereas the in a club environment the attention is on the DJ. Although the music is a very important part in a wedding, guests will attend the reception to pay their respect to the couple.

Wedding DJ 

The wedding DJ is not the star of the show. Besides music, the wedding DJ is responsible for conducting the schedule and the flow of the wedding and reception. In weddings there will be all ages from kids to grand fathers and the music has to reflect so that everyone enjoys themselves.

Dressed smartly - Suited

Takes requests

Music Selection - the couple gets to pick their favourite music to be played during the night

Plays dinner and conversational music

Make announcements - Introduce the family members properly

All equipment provided

Ceremony Service - wireless microphones and music

Crowd Reading - A professional DJ will know how to get people to the dance floor and keep them interested by changing genres and mixing it up.

Free Consultation -Meet up in person or talk via email to understand exactly what you are looking for and make it happen

Club DJ

At a club all people are around the same age and  have very similar music tastes and normally goes  on till the early hours of the morning.

Artists - people go to see the DJ perform and hear his music.

Loud Music

No Requests

Crowd Reading

Here is video on local TV programme discussing the key roles of a DJ  amongst other things (In Maltese):

So to conclude, there is a lot of difference between the two but fundamentally they are both doing the same thing and that is: Playing the music and making everyone happy.

5 Steps to plan your dream wedding.

Planning your dream wedding.

1) Brainstorm

Clear your mind, start with a blank page and write down first ideas and theme for the big day. No idea is wrong, start by writing everything that comes to you . Are you having a ceremony or would you like to get married in a church or chapel. If you are getting having a ceremony you will probably get asked to pick the music for the bride walking up and aisle, married couple walking down the aisle and music for the signing of the wedding. if you are unsure ask your wedding DJ and will be able to help you out with the choices. Summer or winter time?, Indoor venue or outdoor venue? the kind of food and beverages. Scroll down to see full list of vendors.

This brainstorming method will help you help you see your wedding clearly and decided on the type of wedding you are after.

2) Set a budget

After defining the ideal wedding in Malta it’s time to set a budget.  This is the time to determine how much to spend on what you need. Here is an approximate breakdown for the main services:

Wedding Reception: 48%–50%

Ceremony: 2%–3%

Attire: 8%–10%

Flower Arrangments: 8%–10%

Music:  8%–10%

Photography/Videography: 10%–12%

Wedding Rings: 2%–3%

Parking/Transportation: 2%–3%

Gifts: 2%–3%

Miscellaneous: 8%

3) Pick your guests

This is the time to decide who to send invites too. Do you want a big traditional maltese wedding where all the relatives are invited including uncles and cuosins, or are you looking for an english style wedding where intimate family are invited for a dinner and a party afterwards.This will depend on the budget you set too.

4) Research

Contact vendors that you would like to book for your big day. Ask them questions about their services, prices and their previous experience.

Here is a list of venders that you might want to consider for your wedding:

Venue, Beverages and bar, Planners, Invitations, Souvenirs, Photography, Video, Flowers, Music, Cars, Clothes, Jewellery, Beauty, Carpets, Decor, Honeymoon.

5) Entertainment

Choosing the right DJ is crucial to the success of the wedding. A lot of couple are choosing a DJ nowadays instead of band for various reasons, Firstly because it’s cheaper, they don’t take any breaks and a DJ can explore a variety of genres. Apart from that there is only one person that is held responsible for the evening.

 

Happy planning. 🙂

DJ Cost For Wedding

‘Couples tend to spend about 8% of their total wedding budget on Entertainment.’

 

Every event is different and here are some factors that will determine the price for your wedding DJ in Malta.

Time: The longer the wedding reception/ceremony the more it will cost. Normally we quote for 5 hours of DJ service but it might be less or more depending on the duration of wedding party.

Size: The larger the event the higher the price because additional speakers, microphones, upgraded equipment will be need to serve the crowd.

Musicians Number of DJ’s, Saxophonist, Violinist, Guitarist, Singer, Percussionist

Add-ons: Personalised playlist, Additional speaker/s, Moving lights, Smoke machine, Stage/Rigging, Up-lighters x5, Up-lighters x10, DJ Stand, Mirror me Photo Booth, Co2 Cannons for shooting fog, confetti into the air, Black lights, Custom Image Projection, Trust

From our experience in doing weddings, couples and guests do not remember the furniture, drinks nor flowers but they remeber tell us how many songs they danced too on the dance floor and what a great time they had. So make sure to set up a budget that meets your expectations. Do not leave shopping for a wedding DJ till the last minute because the good ones will already be booked. You want your wedding DJ to co ordinate with other vendors like photographer for first dance, wedding organiser for the cake cutting song, best man to find out when the speeches will commence and much more. Further, the most important is to have an experienced DJ that can adjust depending on the crowd, the skill of a DJ comes from being able to select and mix songs that are working on the dance floor right in the moment.

€ 200 – € 300 Beginner DJ, most likely most likely doing it part time or as a hobby
