Wedding DJ Packages
What's Included in the Essential DJ Package
When planning a fun wedding reception, you want to make sure you have a good DJ.
And you may not need or want all of the extras.
We created the Essential DJ Package for couples who are getting married in a church, or otherwise do not need ceremony coverage.
What comes with the Essential DJ Package for your wedding
(For those planning a simple celebration)
Good Things Come In Small Packages: Covering The Basics!
Your Grand Entrance!
Dinner is about to start, your guests are seated, and it’s time for the Grand Entrance!
The wedding party is all lined up and ready to be introduced to kick-off the festivities…
Your DJ fades the background music, and gets the rooms attention.
Your DJ hits “play” on your Grand Entrance Song, and introduces your wedding party into the room…
It’s time for YOU to be introduced, and your DJ announces you as you come through the door to a standing ovation!
Dinner
Everyone is now seated, and your DJ introduces and gives the microphone to the person who will give the blessing.
Dinner is served! If dinner is a buffet, your DJ can manage inviting the tables to the buffet if your caterer or venue does not have someone to do that.
So that you can enjoy your meal, and let your guests have some fun at the same time.
Dinner Music: For dinner, we will play the music at a soft volume so that everyone in the room can hear the music, without being disruptive to your guests conversations.
Spotlight Dances
It’s time for your first dance!
The lights come down, as your DJ introduces you for your First Dance as a married couple.
You get to share the spotlight and dance with the love of your life, dancing to the song that you picked.
Your DJ has already made sure that dad is ready and waiting nearby for the Father/Daughter dance, and that mom is also ready for the Mother/Son dance so there are no awkward pauses after you finish your first dance and transition into the parent dances.
You can choose to end the spotlight dances with a “Wedding Party Dance” to bring the entire wedding party together and get the party started!
Dance Party!
With all of the days formalities completed, it’s time to PARTY!
Your DJ gets your guests involved and dancing, playing the best music to match your crowd.
In the planning process leading up to your wedding, you can pick and choose as much or as little of the music for the dance as you want.
- Must Play List – Songs that you absolutely want to dance to yourself
- Play If Possible List – Songs you like, and you think your guests will like, but if you miss a song, or one does not get played, its no biggie
- Play ONLY If Requested List – Songs you do not like, but if you want to keep your guests happy, and they request it, then it’s OK to play it
- DO NOT PLAY List – Songs that will cause the APOCALYPSE to happen if played on your wedding day.
Special Events
During the dance party, there are several more special moments and events that you may choose to have at your wedding.
These moments and events are OPTIONAL, and included in your package if you want them.
The Dollar Dance
A northland tradition, the dollar dance is a receiving line set to music where your guests give you money to help fund your honeymoon! (We recommend that the dollar dance last no longer than 15-20 minutes)
The Garter & Bouquet Toss
A longtime wedding tradition, you may choose to do just one or both. Your Pro Sound & Light Show DJ is trained to make sure this moment is fun, light hearted, and appropriate.
Anniversary Dance or Longest Married Couple Competition
A fun way to recognize the couples in your lives who have been blessed with long marriages. Your DJ can do the traditional Anniversary Dance, or they can do our exclusive longest married couple competition which is more upbeat and memorable.
What is NOT Included in your Essential DJ Package
(Consider upgrading if you want one of these...)
Wedding Ceremony
If you need music & microphones for your wedding ceremony, consider getting:
The Pro DJ Package
Which includes your wedding ceremony. Or you may add it for just $425
Cocktail Hour
The Essential DJ Package comes with up to 5 hours of performance time. Plenty for dinner and dancing. If you want more time, consider getting the Pro DJ Package which includes up to 8 hours. Or you may add additional time to your event at $150/hr paid in advance, or $250/hour added the day of the event.
Dates are Limited
Date are our inventory, and we have limited availability on most popular Saturdays during “wedding season”.
Every year we sell out and fully book these popular dates and end up turning away clients who waited too long to book their DJ.
You don’t want to risk being stuck with whatever other DJ is left available, you are interested in Pro Sound & Light Show because of our reviews and the recommendations of your venue.

About Your DJ
Your Professional DJ will be scheduled 30-60 days before your event. The majority of our amazing, award winning wedding DJs are working events 3-4 weekends each month. So to manage everyones schedules, time-off, vacation plans, etc. our Entertainment Manager assigns the best-fit DJ based on the information we get during the planning process.
Experience Is The Difference
The biggest difference between our DJs is their Experience Level. This is based on the number of events they have performed at, the amount of additional training above & beyond what we provide in-house, and the quality and quantitiy of their reviews from past clients.
While our training program is comprehensive and ensures that our Professional DJs can take care of your event, there are just some things that only come with experience. Such as handling a drunk uncle, or knowing the in’s & outs of your venue because they have performed there a dozen times before.
Can I Pick My DJ?
Short Answer: Yes. If there is a specific DJ you would like to personally request, we will verify their availability for your date. If they are available, there is a Pre-Selected DJ Fee.

This is the easiest way to complete this document. We need the Entertainment Agreement back as soon as possible in order to complete your DJ reservation.
Next are the planning forms. It is easiest to fill these out through your online planning account on our website. Just check the emails we have sent to you or contact us for your login information.
If you prefer paper, use our exclusive Wedding Reception Planner.
All of these forms should be completed and returned to us 30 days or more in advance of your event or as soon as possible
We can play any kind of music that you want. For a complete list of our standard system music, go to www.pro-1.com/music. It is easiest to provide your music requests through your online planning account.
Our DJs are all experienced professionals and know what the hit songs are in each category and decade of music. So you don’t have to pick out all of the music. In fact, the best events we perform at have a balance of the client’s and guest’s requests combined with songs that the DJ knows will keep your guests up and dancing.
Tip on requesting music: The very best parties always have a mixture of songs that please and entertain all age groups. Most events have between 3 to 5 hours of dancing and that works out to about 55 – 70 songs. We suggest that you pick out roughly 5 – 20 songs in addition to the most important songs for your event. We would like to have your online planning tools or Wedding Reception Planner/Song Request Form completed 30 days or more prior to your event
Absolutely! Although we have just about every song that people like to dance to, occasionally a client will have an older or hard to find song that they want to hear. You can provide the DJ with compact discs of special music you want played at your event. Be sure to label your music with your name and phone number, indicate which songs you want played, and remember to pick them up at the end of the event
Our DJs normally arrive 1-2 hours in advance of the scheduled music start time. The equipment set up is completed just prior to the music start time. Please make arrangements to have the location open and accessible at least several hours prior to the start time. If you need our equipment set up earlier than this, just let us know. There is a small charge for early set up (for the DJ’s time to wait for your event to start).
Yes, we can play music for your wedding ceremony and provide microphones for the officiant and a reader. This is included in the Pro DJ or Deluxe packages, or added as a separate add-on for $425.
If you need to make changes along the way, just contact us or request a change through your online planning account. We are happy to change or add options, times, etc., just contact us as early as possible. In most cases we can even change your event’s date if needed. Again, contact us as early as possible.
If you want the DJ to play longer during your event just ask them. Our DJs are happy to play longer than the agreed upon time if you request it. At your event, the rate per hour is decided on between you and the DJ. Occasionally a DJ may not be able to stay longer than originally stated in the Entertainment Agreement. The best way to insure that you have all the performance time you want is to reserve it 14 days or more in advance of your event date.
Yes! Your DJ/MC will carefully coordinate all of the activities of your event. You can let your DJ know what you want through your online planning account, Wedding Reception Planner or Song Request Form. Your DJ can also share ideas with you for coordinating and organizing your event that they’ve learned from other successful events
Yes, your DJ will contact you the week before your event. Before calling, your DJ will review your online planning account, Wedding Reception Planner or Song Request Form to get a feel for how you want your event to go. This is a great opportunity to get to know your DJ and for your DJ to get to know you better. You can discuss any last minute questions you may have.
Meals, while not required, are appreciated. Sure, just let us know so the DJ can plan for that. Our staff never consumes alcoholic beverages, however providing ice water and soft drinks is greatly appreciated.
