Wedding Music

At  A Perfect DJ we go to great lengths to make your event a success. 

The powers of music are endless and today people utilize these powers to augment just about everything in life.  From personal use, as a sales tool, as a personal expression, as a tool to evoke thought, relaxation, a festive mood, pride, etc. 

The business world and the music industry are well aware of the powers of music.  The powers of music should not be underestimated and can be a powerful addition to your event.  When used in the proper manner by well-trained professionals utilizing professional equipment, music can be a powerful tool to enhance your event and to create lasting memories each time the music is repeated within your guests' lifetime.

Custom Edits are used extensively by A PERFECT DJ to enhance the mood and add emotion, humor, recognition and to send an underlying message to people that only certain songs can evoke.  These edits a specially prepared using state-of-the-art music and sound editing software, hardware and equipment to create a one minute (on average) "slice" of music for introductions and to get your audience motivated to participate in activities. 

Because popular songs today average about 3:30 in length, songs must be edited to immediately play key parts of a song that may include the "hook" or the title of a song or perhaps the chorus.  We edit music so that the message of the underlying song can be immediately recognizable by your guests.  Editing the songs is important to get your point across while keeping up with the fast pace of the festivities.  

It is important to note that because of the complexity of the edits and the skills required to produce and perform these edits, these tasks are absolutely NOT within the grasp, knowledge or ability of most DJs in the industry.  (Song edits are common in the television and motion picture industry so that music fits within a specific timeframe)

 A PERFECT DJ currently has a library of almost 20,000 songs and access to an additional 1,200,000.  Almost any song is editable.

Below are our current selections for music based upon our recent experience and the experience of the industry, region and our associates.  Feel free to ask for any of these tracks or suggest your own ideas.  After all, it is your wedding and we strive to personalize the day for you!

  

 

Custom Introduction Edits

These edits are usually played after an introduction to allow guests to enter the room.  They also prompt your guests to applaud, cheer and welcome the guest.  The music can send a message to your audience (and the guest) about how you feel about them, their occupation, relationships, hobbies, etc.  The list below represents the current 99 tracks in rotation (current edits used at any given time depending upon customer demand and popularity)
