Featured Professional ~ Our DJ Rocks + Photobooth Rocks

As the owner of A Wedding To Remember and founder/CEO of The Bridal Society, I am very particular as to whom my company will work with.  There are two reasons for this... the first is to protect our clientele by only referring and working with the best... those who will ensure a flawless day.  The second is to protect the company's reputation.  That being said, we wanted to do our monthly feature on a very special DJ company... Our DJ Rocks!  Here is our interview:

1.     Tell us a little about yourself... I am one of the very few woman owned DJ companies based in Central Florida. You could literally count then on I’d say 3 fingers. Operated by me (DJ Kristin) a 20-something, young, energetic, personable, hip – just a DJ at heart – woman. When brides come to me, they are looking for something different. They want a DJ that they can relate to, who understands their vision, is not the stereotypical cheesy DJ. And most importantly a DJ who is willing to implement their vision it at any stake. I founded Our DJ Rocks on personal touch, as I we do not subcontract or hire apprentices. I deliver exactly what I promise to each of my brides.

2.  How far have you gone from Florida to DJ a wedding? I have gone as far as the Florida Keys to DJ a wedding. I usually end up Djing at least one a year down there. I LOVE IT!

3.  How would you describe your style? Like a briefcase on a rope swing: Professional and FUN! LOL!

4.  Which category of a wedding professional/vendor do you wish every bride would hire other than a DJ? Oh let the list begin! It takes a well rounded, professional TEAM of vendors to put together a wedding and make it run smoothly - Wedding Planner, Photography, Videographer, Caterer….Each of your wedding vendors is like a puzzle piece and without one, the puzzle is not complete.

Your DJ is the puzzle piece that brings that energy to the room to fill a dance floor and MCs the event to ensure a smooth transition. Without a photographer – who is going to capture each of those memories so you can share them with your grandkids? And what about a videographer? Wouldn’t you just love to see your Grandma and Grandpa’s first dance on film when they got married? And what about all of the day of wedding antics and everything leading up to the big day? You want to enjoy every single bit of your wedding day, because you will only do it once and trust me when I say the day will fly by so quickly you will wonder where it went. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone take care of everything for you? Ba-da-bing- that’s where you’re wedding coordinator comes in.

5.  How many weddings do you average per year? About 70.

6.  What type of equipment do you use? Our DJ Rocks bring into play the newest technology and latest music trends, with brands like Denon, Shure and Mac. I invest in the very best and most reliable so that I can sustain the reputation I have built over the past 8 years.  

7.  What services or products do you offer? Our DJ Rocks offers not only interactive DJ services, MC and event hosting, but also lighting decor and photo / video booth rental.

   

8.  What has been your most memorable wedding and why? I think my most memorable wedding was the very first wedding I ever did. My nerves were shaken up so bad! There's something about knowing that I am the most important part about a wedding reception to the point where it can either make it or break it that makes me soooooooooo nervous. I still get butterflies right before the Grand entrance!!! I don’t think that will ever change.

9.  What song are you asked to play the most at weddings? Cha Cha Slide and Cupid Shuffle!!!!!!!! Oh and for now the trend is LMFAO.

10.  Where would your dream destination wedding be? I would say Greece! I’m mobile – so if you’re getting married there or have a client that’s getting married there – let’s make it happen!

11.  What do you feel is the most challenging thing about DJ'ing weddings? Reading the crowd for sure! It’s all about keeping people on the dance floor and making sure the evening flows well.

12.  Who or what inspires you? Places I’ve Never Been and Yoga.

13.  How important is an awesome website to your business? It’s all about the first impressions you make with people. So an AWESOME website is probably one of the most important things you can have. It’s a representation of yourself, your brand, your ethics and your persona.

Fun Questions for Kristin...

1.     I've learned the most from... JUST DOING IT!  Dream Big. Envision Goals. Take Risks. Be Fearless. Get Organized. Make a difference and don’t forget to enjoy it. I challenge you to jumpstart your dreams. There are many roads that lead to your destination. The journey starts now, pick a road, no excuses, just do it.

2.  What is your greatest fear? Failing. I think that’s why I work so hard and put my heart into everything I do, because I do not want to fail. And even when I do put everything I’ve got into something and it fails – I know that it still taught me a lesson so I move onto the next venture!

3.  What product do you wish YOU would have invented? The iPad. Steve Jobs is the Einstein of our generation. He changed the way I live everyday life and the way I DJ.

4.  What is your favorite movie? The Notebook

5.  Where you will find me on a Friday night at 9:00pm? DJing a wedding.
