I often get asked my opinion on what a great “First Dance Song” at a Maui Wedding would be. All though there are many, many options available. I created this list from a few Maui Wedding Receptions that I have been a part of over the past year. These song choices are in no particular “At Last” by Etta James “Save Room” by John Legend “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra “You Got What I Need” by Joshua Radin “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon “Lets Get Lost” by Chet Baker “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love” by Barry White “Feel So Close To You Right Now” by Calvin Harris “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri “When You Got A Good Thing” by Lady Antebellum “That’s How Strong My Love Is” by Otis Redding “On A Night …

Red Lighting at any event can be very sexy and chic. There are many events recently that are popping up with Red Accents and Lighting – New York, Hollywood and Paris to name a few. These events are so eye catching. I mean, just look at the picture above, Wow..!!

Aloha, http://youtu.be/JP8u_Ufue20 This news report hit the air waves on January 19, 2013. The report is about how companies hear the word wedding and automatically raise their prices by an average of 46% with regards to DJ Services. This report obviously is edited to make to favor the research, but with that being said, here is my reasoning to different prices from doing a 40th Birthday to doing a Wedding. In performing at a 40th Birthday Party, I usually have 2 to 3 meetings with the client and will perform a site visit prior to the event.
