We’ve been raving about this “Winter Wedding” since it happened. Sometimes things just fall into place and a magical night occurs. This was one  of those nights.

On January 21st we had a huge wedding at Addison Park. Well if you recall, the one snowstorm we had all winter was that weekend. Instead of being upset or postponing their big day, they rolled with it. They had been working with their wedding planner Melissa Loiacono from Jenny Orsini Events to create an elegant and romantic atmosphere that was still upbeat and fun. Well they nailed it!

And because Shannon and Aaron were so upbeat and excited about the night, that carried over to the whole party. They had a very young crowd and a lot of family, and every single person was invested in this magical winter wonderland of an evening.

So we can all work our butts off on your event, but in the end it really is the people that make the difference. Again, a big thank you to Shannon, Aaron and their incredible family and friends for playing along. Check out Shannon’s review below!

Sounds to go DJ’s was awarded two amazing honors this past week and we of course couldn’t have done it without you. We were recognized by industry leaders The Knot in their 2012 “Best of Weddings” issue as well as a 2012 “Bride’s Choice Award” on Wedding Wire!

We had so much fun with all our brides and grooms in 2011 and we can’t wait to continue to give everyone the wedding of their dreams in 2012. So once again thank you!  These awards would not be possible without all of our amazing clients. See you all on the dance-floor!

Well it’s that time of year folks. I’m talking about Bridal Show season of course! There are two huge bridal shows where you’ll have an opportunity to see one of our top event hosts Anthony Jude Setaro as Master of Ceremonies and meet the rest of the Sounds to Go DJ’s team. The first is on February 19th at Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch. The other is right in our home town of Red Bank at the Red Bank Wedding Walk on March 24th. Space is going to fill up so make sure you register early!

Can’t make either of these shows? Here’s a list of where else we’ll be-

January 26th- The Sheraton in Eatontown

January 29th- Berkeley Carteret Hotel in Asbury Park

February 5th- Monmouth University in West Long Branch

February 26th- Branches, West Long Branch

February 26th- Rider University, Lawrenceville

Party with us at two amazing events this week at RED in Red Bank. Thursday 1/12/12 is the Carmen Glenn Fashion Show and Sunday 1/15/12 is the event everyone has been talking about. RED’s first ever Sunday Brunch Party! Sounds to Go DJ’s will be on hand as our very own Chris Castillo will be throwin down the beats and Anthony Jude Setaro will be your host.

Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you to all those that came out to celebrate our New Office Grand Opening in Red Bank last week. Check out some sick photos from the party below!
Grand Opening Party

What a way to end an incredible year 2011 was and a great way to start 2012! Lots of exciting things are in the works for the new year. We will continue to collaborate on events with Red Restaurant who hosted a sick after party for us with our very own Chris Castillo holding down the 1’s and 2’s while epic old school dance battles occurred all over the place!

The next few events to be on the lookout for are a Sunday Brunch Party at Red on January 15th, the Red Bank Wedding Walk on March 24th, and an All-White Party in the spring at our office to kick off the 2012 Wedding Season!

Just a few recent wedding wire reviews I thought were nice to get out. Some Djs argue they are the best company around….I argue that I have the best damn brides and grooms anyone could ask for. Not only am I lucky to be doing what I do but what Im most grateful for is the clients I’ve developed friendships with.

Today I had a great talk with my great friend John DeFiora. John was talking about how he would much rather build a relationship and build a strong foundation with them over the dollar bill. As Gary Vaynerchuk says it, “legacy over currency.” Thats where I stand. Forget the 90″ plasma Tvs and the new mixer with 12 decks.  Start concentration on building friendships with your clients like John does and stop trying to have a love affair with their wallets.

Thank you to John Defiora for the inspiring talk today. Thanks to my  incredible Sounds To Go crew who care endlessly. My BrideLive boys who push me to be a better business man, and of course my awesome B’s and G’s who I now call friends.

BrideLive

So what is BrideLive?

BrideLive is the world’s first  video conferencing virtual office designed to increase the efficiency and profitability of the wedding professional. Share videos and pictures with ease, interact with floor plans in real time, review detailed planning forms, and meet more brides.

Everyone has been asking…. When can I get my hands on BrideLive?

I will be at the Atlantic City DJ convention with my partners Jay Thomson and Bob Scott on 8.8.11. We have a booth on the floor and will be speaking about BrideLive at a couple seminars. We will also be at the WMBA in Las Vegas this September which we are very excited about

Why BrideLive?

There is a giant gap in the wedding industry right now. So many brides, so many vendors, and the one thing they both have in common is lack of time. With BrideLive brides can now meet more vendors without the hassle of scheduling or driving and vendors can better serve brides with a one-on-one personalized meeting.

What can you do with BrideLive?

Once you have an account the possibilities with the software are truly endless. We can’t wait to see what creative things you will do with BrideLive.

Speaking Engagements???

If you are in the wedding field and have openings for The BrideLive Boys to come speak at your seminar to teach wedding vendors how to truly reach the 21st century bride we would love to chat with you. Feel free to email me at Mike@BrideLive.tv

Congratulations to Heather who was recently married on 6/18/11! Big thank you to DJ Ryan M and DJ Chris C. for rocking this wedding!

5 star wedding wire review

“I have only wonderful things to say about Mike Hernandez and everyone that works for him. The company is completely professional, organized and hospitable. The event planning form and song list form make planning your event extremely easy and gives the DJ a play-by-play of your event. Plus, we met in person to review the details as well. Our DJ, Ryan was extremely professional and such a pleasure to work with. He checked in with us multiple times during the night and the music was AWESOME. Everyone was dancing the whole night. We also had a photo booth provided by Sounds To Go and it was such a HIT! They also provide an album where guests can write a message. It is such a great keepsake! I really cannot think of one negative thing to say about Sounds To Go DJS and I would, without a doubt, recommend them to anyone else planning an event. =)”
