Partytime Music's Eight Rules

For OUR CLIENTS HAPPINESS

RULE # 1

We understand that we are hired to provide music services to meet and exceed your expectations, satisfy your tastes, and make your party a success. You expect professionalism, and thats what you get. You expect great sound, and thats what you get. And you expect fair and competitive pricing .... and thats what you get.

RULE # 2

We understand that at a wedding, the party is ALWAYS where the bride and groom are, and therefore we ask for, and cater to, the tastes, wishes, and direction of the bride and groom.

RULE # 3

We understand that we are tasked with keeping your guests happy, and that means each having fun in their own way. Not every guest will like every song, in fact some will immediately complain to the DJ that the music is not to their liking, walking through a packed dancefloor to do so. We will politely take all critisism, but keep the music suited to all guests at all times.

RULE # 4

We understand that a packed dancefloor will eventually empty as your guests get tired or thirsty. When that happens, we promise to change up the music until new dancers take the floor.... and that we will ALWAYS try to fade out and change up any songs that are not working for any reason.

RULE # 5

We understand that our Clients expect us to be more than human iPods. We are expected to know a significant amount of musical knowledge, know how to read a crowd, and know how to keep a dancefloor full.

RULE # 6

We understand that our Clients expect us to be on time, to be prepared to spend the contracted time providing the finest service possible, to avoid consuming alcohol, be well dressed, and to interact with your guests kindly and professionally.

RULE # 7

We understand that our sound systems must be top quality, our music be crystal clear, and our voice is to be used only as much as required to meet the wishes of our Client. We will never be rude, sarcastic, or overbearing on the microphone. It is, and always will be, about the music.

RULE # 8

We understand that the little things we do will make the biggest difference.

 

Today, digital music is everywhere, and becoming easier to get every day. Unfortunately, this ease of obtaining music, often illegally, has also resulted in many people branding themselves disc jockeys and playing their iPods through a rented PA system. While this is perfectly suited to small informal parties at home, a professional disc jockey knows there is much more to a successful night than just playing music. Just ask a bride who had a friend play their iPod for her wedding reception.

Partytime Music is owned and operated by Terry McKone, an area musician with over 30 years of performing music for every imaginable type of party. Starting in a county music band at age 16, through to playing on such incredible stages as the former Lulu's bar in a Tragically Hip tribute band, Terry has developed a keen sense of what people want from an Entertainer. In fact, Partytime Music Services started as a result of an increasing number of clients asking Terry to play recorded music at functions too small to afford live music. Today, Partytime Music Services has even been asked to provide the music for the weddings of children of his previously satisfied customers.

We utilize computerized digital music reproduction, played through one of the most amazing sound systems ever produced, by one of the world's most dynamic sound system companies... BOSE. The L1 tower is a compact, 6 foot high tower, designed to throw crystal clear sound at equal volume all around a room. Taking up no more than 2 feet of space, this speaker not only sound amazing, but is inconspicuous as well. No more gaudy speakers placed around your tastefully decorated reception. For larger parties, we have arena size sound systems by QSC available to make sure the dancers FEEL the beat!! If our clients want lighting, we include our standard system of colored and moving moving lights at no additional cost. For larger parties, we use the services of PM Lighting of Stratford, featuring eye-popping lights, lasers, and strobes. We will ensure all lighting is tasteful, to enhance any party. The choice is yours.

For all our functions back-up equipment is available should the need arise. Because we use only high-quality, professional equipment this is hardly ever the case. However, we take pride in each and every event, so we never take the chance of having a technical malfunction.
