Getting married?
Why not get a DJ?
Dani Star performs at wedding receptions and ceremonies.
DJ's are great options. However, since I am a major fan of live music, I will always recommend a band rather than a DJ. The great thing about having Dani is that you can get the best of both those worlds; you get the band - and you get the DJ music while the band is on break. How can it get any better than that? Really!
How does a wedding booking work?
Here is a projection of the entire process...
It starts with...
Contact
Contact is made by the party interested in booking the wedding entertainment. If all works well at this stage we proceed to meeting.
Meeting
Over lunch, we can get to know each other by chatting about your wedding day vision, how you see it happening, and how important it is to have the right entertainment. Remember...people will forget the food, but they should never forget the fun (the entertainment)!
At this point, a deal can be reached. Or if more time is necessary, we can keep communicating via email or telephone until we reach a deal or find alternate entertainment.
*note that this step is not necessary. If all be well, we can proceed from the contact to the deal without meeting. This happens mostly in cases where the couple are already familiar with Dani Star and related services.
The deal
We have a deal! The fee, venue, entertainment option and date are all confirmed. Two copies of a one page agreement will be mailed to you. You sign and date both copies, keep a copy for your records and send the other back in the provided postage paid envelope. It's that easy!
Before the agreement can be mailed to you, you must fill out and submit the invoice booking form - wich is easily done online. Within a few days you receive your agreement in the mail.
A deposit of 25% is required upon signing of an agreement, which can be paid by sending a cheque along with the return copy envelope.
*Once you have decided to go ahead with Dani Star Music, you will be sent a link to the invoice booking form, where you can also download the empty schedule (see next section).
Communication
Communication lines stay open, up until our service to you is complete. If you think of something to add or change with the details, a quick email will ensure that we are all in clear understanding of what is happening on your wedding day and who is doing what.
You will also be sent an empty schedule, that you will have to fill out and return a minimum of 14 days before the wedding. The schedule will ensure that the details and times of when things are happening is planned (band sets, band breaks, cake cutting, garter toss....). This is not to say that the wedding ceremony will happen perfectly as planned...but at least we will be working with a schedule!
The schedule will be printed, and on hand at the ceremony for reference.
Wedding day
Now that we have a schedule and all details have been planned, we can rest assured and have peace of mind that everything is being looked after, and that your wedding day will be a complete success.
Our service on your wedding day will go something like this:
Arrive at venue in afternoon
Set up / Soundcheck
Perform at ceremony
Tear down / Celebrate
You will have absolutely nothing to concern yourself with as far as entertainment goes. Your mind will be free to enjoy what is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life; and knowing that all the pieces of the puzzle have been carefully crafted and that all is in place and on schedule, you will have peace of mind!
