ASK THE EXPERT  "The DJ" - (From Fresno Bride & Groom Magazine, Fall & Winter 2007)

Kevin Harris of KLH Entertainment

Q - How did your career as a DJ begin?

I've been an entertainer for more than 20 years. Several years back, a good friend of mine who was a DJ, asked me to tag along with him and help move equipment at an event he was doing.  I realized that DJ'ing was a lot more fun than my day job, so I went to work for the same company.  The rest is history. 

Q - What is the average length of time you play for a wedding?

Most weddings are between five and seven hours, depending on whether or not we are doing the ceremony and the reception, or just the reception. 

Q- How do you feel about the DJ & Band Option?

I don't mind it at all.  Here in the Valley, many weddings choose to have a Mariachi band play during dinner, and the DJ play during breaks and still handle the dance portion of the evening.  I've even done weddings where there were 2 bands, a DJ and musicians during the ceremony itself.  In cases like that, The DJ becomes more of the Stage Manager, as well as the Emcee. 

Q-  How should one go about finding a DJ?

Ask your coordinator, your photographer, or the contact person at the building where your are having your reception.  They all work with DJ's week in, and week out.  They know the good ones from the bad.  Don't forget to ask your recently married friends who they had and if they were happy with the performance. 

Q- Are there ways to cut costs for DJ Services?

Sure, but none without sacrifices. 

Sometimes, people will want the DJ to start after dinner is already over.  So dinner has no background music, there is no one keeping guests informed of what to expect, no one is coordinating toasts, ect. 

Nine times out of ten, a dinner with no DJ ends during desert.  Your guests will not stay.

Same thing with an "iPod" wedding.  Many couples are choosing to fill an Mp3 player with their favorite music, hit  shuffle and expect their guests to dance.  First of all, who is going to be responsible for setting it up?  The Groom?  The Best Man?  Is that REALLY what they want to be doing at the reception?  Also, Who is the Emcee?  What if your guests do not respond to the music you downloaded?  What if there is an equipment malfunction? 

Q- Is there a logic to making a party danceable?

It's all about the mood.  Music at a wedding is like the score to a movie.  If the music gives off the proper vibe, you can really get the people into the party.  You just have to know what to play for the crowd. 

Q- What are some great "First Dance" songs? 

The first dance should be personal.  It should be something that you heard on your first date or when you proposed.  It should be the song that sounds like you wrote it just for your special someone.  That's what makes a first dance special.  At my wedding, we used "Thank You For Loving Me" by Bon Jovi.

Q- Are any songs off limits for weddings?

Most people have a list of songs that they hate.  The Chicken Dance is often on this list.  The only thing that I put off limits is any song that has lyrics that would make your Grandmother blush.
