 5/16/09--from a former wedding pro! Ric,
It was also great to
have someone there doing the DJing that I consider a great
friend.
I know that Micchelle
and Michael enjoyed themselves immensely as did everyone.
I was so proud to dance
with my little girl with all my family and friends there.
I also want to tell you
something that Micchelle and Michael told me. They said that all
their family and friends came up to them all day long wanting to
know how they got " THE Ric Mitchell from the radio to do their
wedding." Their answer was that he was an old friend of
Micchelle's dad. ( you see most of those people did not know me
back in the day when I was shooting 4-5 weddings a weekend)
Again Ric many thanks
from Pam and myself (and I am sure from Michael and Micchelle) Chuck
Rost
Anna and Derek--5/19/07
Dear Ric,
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening! You are the
consummate professional! EVERYONE had a blast! We couldn't
believe how many people were dancing!

Looking at the overall cost of a Wedding Day, the professional DJ's fee is a small percentage of the total price yet nothing can affect the total outcome of the day like the party portion and the music provided by the DJ. But, it's not just the music. It's the total overall presentation. The professional way introductions are handled, working with the other wedding professionals and being able to cater the day to all attending. Sometimes I hear people say, "well, all it is is playing mp3s" or "an Ipod would be just as good". Nothing could be further from the truth! |

I can't tell you the calls I've received at the last minute from couples frantically telling me their dad's co-worker's wife wants him to go to her mother's for a family function and he's had to back out of our affair......or their cousin who was going to play the music had a chance at a great vacation with his buddies and he decided to do that instead........or, even worse, their Uncle's sound system was no match for the hall the reception was planned, his music was HIS favorite stuff from the 60s and 70s and featured very little for ALL the guests. Just a few weekends back, I received a frantic call from a mom whose DJ wouldn't return her calls--and it was a week before the affair!! Calls like this make me shudder not only because you can see guests just kind of sitting there when no one shows up but the mortified family who tried to save a few dollars got a LESS than professional no-show DJ. I took over the party at Longfellows and we had a great time but most importantly, it showed her that a PROFESSIONAL DJ can and should be dependable. She later told me his quoted price for the night and it was obvious why he didn't show. Don't shop a DJ on price alone! Is saving a couple hundred dollars worth a bad party that your guests will remember as just that--a bad party? Your DJ has to be able to competently scan the crowd and determine which music is going to fit. Plus, he or she has to capably deal with several types of persistent attendees to make sure their musical tastes don't overshadow everyone else's. Though many wedding planning books will not mention this, the wedding reception is a thank you to the attendees for their generous and thoughtful gifts and an appreciation for their sharing your special day and a DJ who ignores ANY generation without at least attempting to play some selections for them, is not doing the job they were hired to do. Now, I know that every song is not going to please everyone but a good mix of songs will go a long way in making it an outstanding evening for all concerned.
