Perfect for Sweet 16 birthday parties - www.djhenrygq.com




Ok,
So I play an 18+ night at a local nightclub every Wednesday night! the great thing about spinnin' such an event is that the people that attend this night are all young, wild and free! (quoted wiz khalifa lol) and doing this night every Wednesday allows me to keep current with all of todays music! basically making me the best fit for a sweet 16 party or any teen event! i know the music, i know how to react to the party people and it keeps me young and fresh! i love it!

Erie Wedding DJ - www.djhenrygq.com tips to make your wedding better!

I just grabbed this from www.theknot.com, theres some great tips in here to help make your special day even better! these are trends that bigger cities are having success with!

Be sure to check out their website for more helpful info!


Here’s a look at the top 10 wedding trends for 2012:
1. “Snow White” Wedding Dresses: Buzzed-about movies Snow White and The Huntsman and Mirror, Mirror will inspire 2012 brides to wear wedding gowns that are light and airy, but with a mysterious and sexy vibe. Vera Wang’s stunning witchcraft-inspired 2012 wedding dresses will be the bride’s first stop.
2. Enchanting Flowers: The magical settings of these Snow White-inspired movies and even much-anticipated fantasy film The Hobbit will have an effect on wedding décor, with brides opting for a woodsy vibe. Think: soft, decadent bouquets filled with flowers like cabbage roses, peonies and dinner plate dahlias.
3. Watercolor Designs: On dresses, invitations and table designs, watercolor touches give weddings the perfect creative bent for 2012. A-list designer Carolina Herrera showed stunning watercolor prints in her spring 2012 bridal collection. And the color palette to do this in? Pastels like pink and lilac are the “it” colors of 2012!
4. The Hunger Games-Style Bachelor Parties: Forget strippers and booze, the bachelor and bachelorette party of 2012 is giving way to The Hunger Games-style action. While ladies are channeling their inner Jane Bond via programs like Stiletto Spy School where they get to learn defensive tactics, high-speed stunt driving and MacGyver-like survival skills (all while rocking a dress, of course), guys are finally fulfilling their lifelong fantasies of race car driving, learning how to play poker like a pro and even, believe it or not, herding cows and sheep.
5. The Bombshell Bride: Marilyn Monroe wooed a president, was featured on the cover of the first issue of Playboy, is the subject of Oscar-buzzed movie My Week with Marilyn, and is going to make an especially big impression on brides this year. The beauty icon’s ability to accentuate her best features, signature pouty lips and slinky dresses (we especially love a number from Reem Acra with a sexy slit up the side!) are the perfect inspiration for bombshell brides.
6. The Panoramic Wedding Portrait: Just like critically acclaimed movie The Artist was shot on film without sound, the trend in wedding photography is to steer away from all the overdone effects (like odd angles and lots of added filters). Instead, photographers are shooting turn-of-the-century-inspired wedding portraits with a formal, classic approach. One shot that’s totally mantel-worthy? A panoramic wedding portrait where every single wedding guest is in the photo.
7. Ritzy Ranch Weddings: The setting? A 200-year-old barn complete with long exposed-wood tables, large chandeliers and ambient lighting. The flowers? Lace-wrapped bouquets of wild roses, lilies of the valley, Queen Anne’s lace and gardenias. The food? Delicate wild game like juniper-spiced venison, cider-braised pheasant and pan-roasted quail, Top Chef: Texas-style. Brides will be channeling the Old West with a rustic-elegant spin à la Lauren Bush and David Lauren’s recent nuptials.
8. When Harry Met Sally-Inspired Video Trailers: When it comes to wedding videos, it’s not something brides are watching after the wedding anymore. Couples are filming their love stories à la When Harry Met Sally and then showing snippets of it in video e-save-the-dates and having it screened at the wedding…all while guests are being filmed watching it, of course.
9. Long Sleeves & Lace: Brides can thank Kate Middleton and the latest Twilight installment for this wedding fashion trend – long sleeves and lace! Strapless dresses will still rule the bridal aisle, but expect more coverage for 2012 with a sexy twist. Think: sheer backs and illusion sleeves. And don’t be surprised if the look of lace pops up on everything from the wedding cake to the décor.
10. Mega-Moons: Sri Lanka? Check. Patagonia? Check. All in one trip? Check. That’s right, for 2012, brides won’t be settling on just one dream destination, but instead, they’ll be opting for a round-the-world getaway to several far-flung locales. Plus, they’ll be virtually bringing their friends with them via social travel apps that crowd-source friend-approved recommendations from resources like Tripl and Gogobot.

Will the DJ offer to meet with you AFTER signing the contract to plan your event?

A professional DJ is ALWAYS willing to discuss your event at any time before the event starts, and should display the flexibility to accommodate changes and help you solve problems. Meeting or phone conferencing your DJ to plan your event is of paramount importance to a successful event such as a wedding reception.

I try and meet with my clients before the reception at the venue that they are holding their special social event. This way we can talk about if they need uplighting or have they have any ideas to make their wedding more fun or memorable, more often than not its hard to execute and idea with no planning. I will be sure to make every detail come to life

Djs in Erie

I have people in the Erie area call me all the time asking first "what are my rates". How can someone ask for your rates before they even get to know what you offer, or the level of expertise you are at, or even (my favorite) the passion that you can bring to their Erie social event.

I do NOT masquerade as a professional DJ, as some do in Erie. I have been a PROFESSIONAL DJ in Erie for 20 years! and my love of my job has never dwindled!!

I understand some people are on budgets, and they can NOT afford a DJ like myself. but I cant still help you (free of charge) to ensure you do get the best bang for your buck! its not always about money. But you do get what you pay for. Please don't be fooled by these people pretending to be DJs. the best DJ's know who are the best for your social event

Erie Wedding DJ - www.djhenrygq.com (questions to ask)

*Who will DJ my wedding?

With my service its gonna me! DJ Henry GQ. This is the most common complaint in the DJ Industry today. Someone who is a well known DJ, uses their reputation to book receptions and then sends another person! Typically the person you meet is not the person who does your reception. Most often people are unaware of this.

 If I'm booked I will gladly help you find another DJ, I know every professional Disc Jockey in the Northwest Pennsylvania Region! and I want to ensure you are taken care of!!
