About Us
The role your DJ plays in your event is actually a very important one. So, it is important that you feel comfortable and confident in their ability to execute YOUR vision.
Everything we do at Silver Shadow Entertainment, from beginning to end, is approached with a sense of gratitude and dedication to making sure your event is exactly what you want. Success to us is you being a guest at your own event, being able to enjoy your family and friends without a care in the world and looking back on your event with a smile on your face, remembering what a wonderful time you and your guests had.
How we do that is simple. We listen to you. We get to know what you like. Then we use our decades of experience to bring that to life for you!
Planning Your Next Event
Planning your event can be a lot of work, but it should be a lot of fun. Our goal is to provide you with helpful ideas and suggestions that will reduce your work and increase your overall enjoyment. If you have any questions regarding your contract, planner, payments, etc. Please call us weekdays during regular business hours. We are available to answer any questions regarding special music ideas or any other event related services. Please Note: Our office is closed Saturday and Sunday for preparation and performance of contracted engagements.
The Sequence Of Events
In addition to the set-up, the order and time-line of events is a very important part of the overall success of your event. As an entertainment professional, we are experts at helping you plan the very best sequence for all the events and formalities.
While you may get ideas from others, only your Master of Ceremonies can create the perfect sequence for you – one that seamlessly flows from one event to the next, while maximizing guest enjoyment and participation. If you are planning a tentative agenda with any other event professionals (caterer, photographer, etc.) please call us first. We will be happy to share our expertise and experiences that will help you customize the very best party.
Food & Drink
If you would like to provide us with a meal, it is not necessary to include us in your final count with the caterer. Meals are often available for us without the additional cost being incurred by you. We will make this arrangement with the banquet staff upon our arrival. Alcoholic beverages are NEVER consumed by Silver Shadow Entertainment staff. However, providing ice water and soft drinks is greatly appreciated.
The Sound System & Setup
One of the most important factors in the success of your event is where our DJ sound system is to be set. It is critical that the DJ system is placed in an area directly next to the dance floor.
It is not a good idea to surround your dance floor on all four sides with tables. Remember, our speakers need to carry sound to the dance area. If there are tables directly between the speakers and the dance floor, the guests seated at those tables will have an uncomfortable level of sound. Please be sure to provide us with a minimum of a 6′ x 10′ area to set the sound system and speakers.
If you have any guests seated in an adjacent area or room, we can provide additional speakers so that all of your guests can hear the announcements and music at a comfortable level. A nominal charge will apply for this customized speaker option.
Gratuity
Unlike many other service professionals, we do not contractually add service charges or gratuities.
After considering the advanced pre-planning, the level of service and quality of presentation, along with your overall enjoyment, we believe you should decide for yourself what level of gratuity if any you feel appropriate.
