Weddings First things first! Congratulations on your engagement! As I'm sure you are already aware, planning the most important day of your life can be a very stressful thing. After all, you want everything to be PERFECT. You deserve the best and at Wickid Ice Entertainment, we strive to offer nothing less than perfection!  Perfection requires planning! At Wickid Ice Entertainment, we will take the time to meet with you in advance and help you plan out every detail of your wedding reception. When all the decisions have been made, you can look forward to enjoying your reception while we take care of all the details. We have a wealth of ideas and suggestions for you to choose from that will help you custom design every detail of your reception to fit your personalities. We will ask you a lot of questions and gather as much information as we can. The more we know about your expectations, the better we can fulfill them. Finally, the planning meetings also allow us time to get to know each other on a more personal level. We recognize that you are entrusting the success of your entire investment in your reception to us! We don't take this responsibility lightly, but we are willing to take it, because we are very committed to offering the best quality of service possible. We like to think of our clients as much more than just our employers. We like to think of them as our friends. Who will be the coordinator? We believe in coordinating each and every detail of your wedding reception with the catering staff, photographer and videographer so that everything flows smoothly. Your reception is not a food driven event or even a photo driven event. Those components are vital and necessary, but the entertainment is the driving force that guides you and your guests through the entire function. So, the person you decide to put in charge of steering your event should be a professional with entertainment experience. The caterers are pros at serving the meal and serving out the cake and the photographer and the videographer have made getting just the right shot into an art form, but they typically have little entertainment experience. So, we have taken it upon ourselves to personally coordinate and double check every detail at your reception.  Wedding Entertainment Directors Even though we are disc jockeys in the traditional sense,  we prefer to view our role as that of a Wedding Entertainment Director, because our focus is on directing the flow of your reception from the entertainment perspective. Wedding Consultants who help with the decorations and selecting the right wedding dress are fulfilling the role of a Wedding Producer. Their services can be extremely helpful, but are not to be confused with the role of a Wedding Entertainment Director. Does this mean we won't work with your coordinator? Not at all. If you have a coordinator for your reception, we will work with the coordinator as a team to make sure everything goes exactly as you have planned. However, most of our clients don't usually hire a separate coordinator for their reception, because they have come to trust our skill and expertise. If you would like to see our general checklist for all the details we actually coordinate, we will be happy to share that with you at our first appointment.  Master of Ceremonies At Wickid Ice Entertainment, we believe that our Master of Ceremonies skills are extremely vital to the success of your reception. Have you ever been to a wedding reception and you missed the cake cutting because nobody announced it properly? Finding a person who can speak clearly, eloquently and confidently in front of a crowd is not an easy task. Your guests need to be kept informed of every event that is coming up or is about to happen at your reception. When your wedding party is being introduced during the grand entrance, their names need to be pronounced correctly, no matter how unusual their names may be. This aspect of our service is one we take very seriously. It is one of the primary reasons we believe in face to face meetings with you to plan your wedding reception. The time we spend together will allow us to get to know you in such a way that we will be able to confidently represent you whenever we speak on the microphone in front of all of your guests. Getting your guest's attention or making an important announcement that they will understand, requires a direct, clear voice and specially trained speaking skills.  That's Entertainment! At Wickid Ice Entertainment, we know that the entertainment facet of a Disc Jockey service is the one people most commonly think of when considering hiring a Disc Jockey for their wedding reception. This requires the ability to read the crowd and play just the right music at just the right time to motivate your guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor. This entails finding the format and style of music from your requests and those of your guests, and then mixing them all together in such a way as to keep the dance floor full, while pleasing all age groups and varied tastes throughout your reception. This skill is definitely rare and extremely crucial if you want your guests to have a rip roaring good time. We never have to beg or cajole your guests out onto the dance floor. There are certain things we do that not only fill the dance floor, but keep it full as well. We believe the entertainment begins from the moment you arrive at your reception. We have created a vast collection of unique ideas that are designed specifically to help your guests feel involved in your reception while getting them into a party mood. Whether you want your guests to laugh, dance or cry tears of joy, we have the capability, the experience and the skill to make it all happen. Because … That's Entertainment!
