Best Wedding DJ!    posted 9/14/2013

DJ Pat was the best vendor I hired for my wedding and I highly recommend him. Not only does he do an awesome job with the music, but he even acted as a coordinator. He timed the ceremony music and instructed our wedding party, coordinated with my family and photographers to make sure all were present for every big moment, and was flexible with our music choices. He showed me different versions of songs I had picked (guitar version, instrumental, etc) that I ended up liking better and using. The thing I liked the most was how often he updated me on what big moments were coming up, your wedding day goes by so fast and it was extremely helpful to have someone give you warnings such as “cake cutting in ten minutes”. He kept the wedding day schedule moving and everyone on the dance floor. During the planning he was quick to respond to emails, flexible with times, and has an awesome client login page where you can manage all your music. DJ Pat is so much more then just a wedding DJ, my day would not have gone as smoothly without him.

Sarah & Eric's Mt Woodson Castle Wedding

Here are some pictures from Sarah and Eric's wedding at Mt Woodson Castle September 20th 2013. It was a beautiful night at one of my favorite venue to work at here in San Diego. Working with Iman from Personal Touch Catering / Mt Woodson Castle and Sean Capshaw from Resolusean Photography was awesome as always! Its always nice when I get the chance to work with people that have the same philosophy as I do when it comes to giving the clients the BEST we have to offer.

We Are A Green Company

Back in 2010 Sound Prodigy officially became a "green company". What does that mean you ask? Basically cutting down the amount of supplies that not only I use but the client does as well. First how we started was using rechargeable batteries instead of the throw away kind. Thus reducing the amount of batteries we throw away by 90%. We also use less paper too. Because all our clients information is online we only have to print a day of itinerary as a back up source incase we loose internet. 

Our contracts are also eSignture witch means we never have to print out another set for contracts for myself and the clients to sign. They can be saved online in a word document and stored in a digital format. Because of this we are happy to say that we have gone from using anywhere from 5 and 6 reams of paper to less that 1 ream per calendar year. This number only applies to office paperwork and my personal paper /battery usage for performance. When you add in the paperwork for our other DJ's (4) this number jumps a lot higher. This paper savings also applies to the client not having to print paper as well for an even greater reduction.

In to what we do use is properly recycled and nit simply thrown away with the rest of the garbage. We strive to be efficient in every way we can. The less we use equals less demand and less production witch is better all around. As a small company it may not seem like much but when you add the just a few dozen small companies doing this convergence it does make a difference.

Thanks, for reading! DJ Pat

100 Review Club

  

So happy and excited to be in the 100 review club. What this basically means is that over the last 3 years I have been publically asking my clients to donate some time to write a review of my performance after the fact. This helps me a great deal because this is how future clients gage how I do things and builds a strong foundation of trust with the client and myself.

Lets face it, this day is so important to people that they really want to be sure they are getting the quality of a professional DJ, Wedding Specialist and lighting designer. And not just a good sales pitch and cheap price. In reading past reviews you will notice that I really take the time and cater to the needs of every client and make them feel that I value the quality and flow of their wedding just as much as I do.

Now at this point I do have (date of this posting) I have 126 weddings recorded however, I have sent about a lot more request that I get reviews backs. Some clients that just feel like the wedding is over so they don't need to involve themselves in it and that’s fine. This blog and recognition goes out to all the awesome people that have taken the time to write that review and give me the continued success that I hold today.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!! Love DJ Pat

No You Tube Music

When it comes to location music for your wedding ceremony or special reception song your wanting by a particular artist I cannot stress enough to NOT use YouTube as a source for music research and here are the reasons why. First off, sometime you might find a song that you like but in some cases either the artist or song title is mislabeled and not accurate. Then you try to locate the song through Amazon Or Itunes and you can't find it. This happens quite a bit.

Now why do I try to located the MP3 or WAV through Amazon and Itunes and not playing the track from You Tube? I never run the risk of streaming audio for ANY formality song or dance. Even if the signal is strong you never know. The transfer could still buffer at any time. Plus the audio quality is horrible. Now it may sound ok coming out of your laptop speakers at home but through a professional sound system it will sound horrible. The reason for the is when audio is loaded onto You Tube the compression of the file has to be low to maximize space on the You Tube server. Literally the music will sound like is coming out of a crappy AM radio.

Please remember that as your DJ I want your event to go as sooth as possible and also sound amazing. 

Thanks for reading! DJ Pat

Celebrating the wedding of Matt and Natalie was an amazing adventure. Heavily steeped in a film and TV background this celebration of marriage was of the most epic Hollywood productions. This ceremony and reception was truly amazing! Its nice when I have clients that are not just good people but also gifted with awesome imagination. Matt and Natalie knew exactly what they wanted and I will say that with everyone on board we delivered with all the enthusiasm of a A List production crew. Richard Roper sure to give this one an a+ !
