As time evolves so does the technology surrounding music equipment. Technology has also made leaps and bounds in the past decade and with devices such as those produced by Apple and Droid, so purchasing and playing music comes at the touch of a screen. So why not save some money, and instead of hiring a Maui DJ just plug in the old iPod or Mp3 Player and play your favorite playlist? Well the answer is simple – your iPod can’t talk (Siri doesn’t count here..), it can’t take requests (especially if it doesn’t have it), and you have to have someone willing to man it. Sure you will save money, but you will turn those savings into a headache.
Do yourself a favor and hire a pro! All Maui DJ’s that work for reputable companies don’t just come with an endless stash of music, but they also come with MC (Master of Ceremony) skills. They will do introductions, make announcements, and they will truly get your party started! They can handle requests (especially when your adorable nephew keeps requesting your worst nightmare – “the chicken dance”) and if they are savvy enough, they can do instant downloads. Professional Maui DJ’s will work with you and guide the timeline of your reception and of course they know their music. They will have a selection sure to please all age groups and genres. And the bonuses? Maui DJ companies have their own equipment, offer Specialty Lighting, Sound Rental Packages (incase you want Live Music during the Ceremony or Cocktail Hour), and some can assist you with LED Dance Floors. Your guests may or may not remember what your flowers looked like, or if the food was good or not, or the color of the table linens. What they will remember is if they had a good time or not and that’s the job of a DJ. So remember just when you are thinking this is where you can cut a corner, don’t DIY, Definitely Hire a Pro!!.
