Your event is coming up and you really want a DJ to play great music and coordinate your special activities - but how do you know you are getting a great Boise DJ? This can be a big decision because your entertainment can make or break your event. Here are our recommendations for making sure you have a great DJ to make your Boise event FUN, MEMORABLE, and UPBEAT:
1. Meet with DJs and Interview them. Don't be afraid to ask LOTS of questions about how the DJ will make your event what you are hoping it will be. At Sound Wave Music, we are always happy to meet in person to talk about our services, answer questions, show you photos from our past events, and more!
2. Ask for references or reviews - and utilize them! The best way to know how good a DJ is is to talk to past clients or to read reviews from past clients. This will let you know how professional the DJ is, what kind of customer service they offer, and if their past clients have been please with their services. Here is a recent review we received on Google Maps from a wedding client we DJ'd for on June 5th:
"I didn't think a DJ was a must at a wedding, but with all the stress and confusion having Adam and Sound Wave Music there to keep the wedding on pace and in order was the best thing besides getting married to my wife. They were very professional and cared about how our wedding turned out. They made the wedding fun, enjoyable and did exactly as we asked. With all the stress during the wedding, I found myself lost during the reception and forgetting what was suppose to happen next, just looking up at Adam he got his microphone and kept the ball rolling. He was very entertaining and even came out and danced with us for a while, busting out his sweet dance moves. There equipment was very clean and they looked very professional. We also had a special music mix that we wanted and he edited the song just as we asked. If you want a great DJ, call these guys. They are not overpriced and work with you in any aspect. Adam, Kristen, and all the Sound Wave Employees are all truly very good people. Thanks for everything. Erika and Chris"

Have you ever been to an event or party with a dance teacher there? It is great! Having a dance instructor at your party in Boise can be fun and engaging.Dance instructors can help everyone to feel comfortable and learn something new.They are great at working with guests and encouraging them to come out to the dance floor and dance.They will play music later on during the party that guests can practice too. You can choose ahead of time what dances would be fun to learn at your party. It could be a line dance or a ballroom style dance.This is a great way to add dimension to your event.We have several dance instructors that can teach a variety of dances.So, if you are looking for a DJ in Boise, Meridian,Eagle or anywhere in the Treasure Valley, think about a DJ that can also bring a dance instructor. Have fun with this idea and remember to be creative.

2010 Boise wedding season is just around the corner! At Sound Wave Music we are so excited to see what the wedding trends of 2010 will be. As Boise disc jockeys, we LOVE music! We have compiled a list of a few contemporary songs that our DJs think will be perfect wedding songs for the 2010 season. Our favorite is the unofficial duet of Smack Into You by Jon McLaughlin and Beyonce. It is amazing!! We like the solo versions of the song as well. Here are some others to consider:
1,2,3,4 (I Love You) - Plain White Tees
Angel Eyes - Jim Brickman
Best Days - Graham Colton
Better Together - Jack Johnson
Everything - Michael Buble
Love - Matt White
Lucky - Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
When You Say You Love Me - Josh Groban
Your Guardian Angel - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
My Best Friend- Reliant K

One of the best additions you could choose to have at your Boise wedding reception is a Wireless Microphone. A great DJ will have this ready and available for your party. This gives the MC or DJ in charge the ability to move around and interact with your guests. For instance, if you decide that the toasts might be better given by your parents and grandparents, a wireless mic is a necessity. Flexibility is important at your party. Your DJ or MC should be able to do whatever you would like at a moment’s notice. Your DJ can use the wireless mic for activities, games, trivia, dancing on the dance floor, etc. There are many ways to use this great tool to your advantage. Just ask your DJ about a Wireless Mic and good luck with selecting a great Boise Disc Jockey.

Your wedding day is one of the most important and special days of your life. At Sound Wave Music, Boise's Best DJ, we know this and do EVERYTHING we can to make sure your day is flawless. One of the ways we accomplish such successful weddings in the Boise area is by consistently having two DJs at your wedding. We feel this is so important so that none of your special moments are overlooked.
At weddings we have attended (not DJ'd), we are always surprised when the Bride and Groom are getting ready for their first dance and their photographer is nowhere to be found. Or when the Daddy-Daughter dance is ready to begin and Dad is in the restroom. We feel that these details should not be overlooked. When you hire Sound Wave Music as your Boise Wedding DJ, we are more than just a DJ. We act as a coordinator for ALL of the events at your ceremony and reception. We ensure that everyone is at the right place at the right time and that your day is flawless.

Hiring a professional DJ is an important decision in planning a dance, party, or wedding. Care should be taken in choosing a DJ, as the entertainment at your event is very important. There are some common principles about professional DJ’s and entertainment to be familiar with:
Entertainment and Music is Important at My Event
Looking back, most brides and party planners wish they had spent more time choosing their entertainment. Music at an event may seem lower priority, but afterwards brides and party planners wish it had been their first priority. Music and entertainment can make or break your event. This is because music creates the atmosphere & mood at your party. It helps your guests feel comfortable and have a good time. Your guests will notice the music and entertainment at event. In fact, 80% of wedding guests say the thing they remember most about the wedding was the entertainment.
A Stereo, Some Homemade CDs, and an IPOD are not the Same as a Professional DJ
Professional audio and lighting equipment goes a long way in bringing quality entertainment to a party, dance or celebration. This often times does not compare to a home stereo and IPOD.
Your DJ’s equipment should be top of the line and reliable 100% of the time. In addition, professional DJ’s should have a vast selection of music and a knowledge of all decades of music. Your DJ should be able to read the crowd and play music that your guests want and that will keep the momentum of your party.
Good Parties Come Together With Planning, Preparation, and the Right Professionals
While there are many components to a successful party or event, your music and entertainment will set the stage for a memorable day or evening. A professional DJ will know how to entertain your guests according to your plans for your event.
DJ’s Spend A Lot More Than 4-5 Hours on Each Event
While it appears you may only be paying for 4 hours of entertainment, your professional DJ will spend approximately 10-20 hours preparing for your event. This may include consultations, music preparation and research, set up and tear down, training, travel, equipment maintenance, etc. The consultations and actual event are the only times you may see your DJ, but that is not the only time involved in making sure your event is successful.
A Cheap DJ is Not the Same as a Higher Priced DJ
The most expensive DJ is not necessarily the best, but the quality of your DJ can often be reflected in their prices. Remember the sayings: ”…it’s too good to be true” or “you get what you pay for”? These sayings have some truth in the entertainment and event planning world. A lot of time should be taken in preparation for your event. Your DJ should not view their role in your event as a part-time job. In choosing a DJ, make sure you know what you are paying for and make sure that it meets your needs and wants.
Every DJ is Different
DJing an event takes talent and training. Your DJ should be able to read a crowd and have a knack for appropriate rhythm and music to fit specific groups. A good DJ has the ability to adjust his/her style to fit your event and guests. Also, your DJ should be professional, personable, and appropriate while on the microphone and while directing activities, dedications, etc.
A full-time, talented DJ also attends conferences and trainings to improve their skills and knowledge about music, performing as a DJ, professional equipment, activities, etc.
