CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Kelly did a great job and made my wedding fun and memorable. April 2009 Wedding/Reception -Elizabeth K, Tampa, FL
Kelly Shires, the DJ that offered to graciously donate his time for the event, was the consumate professional and talented DJ. He communicated directly with the foundation to be sure of equipment issues prior to the event, so everything ran smoothly the day of. He arrived early and did an excellent job for the event and he was a very nice person. I hope that I have another event that he will donate his time to. -Laura P, Tampa, FL April 2009 WALK a THON
Dear Kelly,
Shaun and I just wanted to say Thank You for your services and we really appreciate it. You did a great job and Shaun was so happy you were able to get that song for him. His mom loved it. Hopefully we will see you soon at my sisters wedding. Thanks again, Amber and Shaun, 1/5/2009 Tampa DJ Kelly Shires
Hey Kelly,
Just wanted you to know once again how impressed everyone was with your work at our Holiday Party on Dec 20th at McDill Military Base. It was such a great success that we have already booked it for this year same place, but December 12th and would love for you to DJ for us again. I am hoping that I am asking far enough in advance that you will have the date open! Nina McDill Military Base Christmas Party DJ Kelly Shires
DJ Kelly,
Because the DJ we normally book wasn't available for our company Christmas party, I looked online and saw all the great reviews for Kelly. We scheduled Kelly to DJ the party. He was not only clean cut and well-dressed, he was personable and very professional. Honestly, I really can't say enough good things about him. All the accolades about him are very well deserved, and HE is the DJ I will contact FIRST for any future parties!! Thank you for doing such a great job for us, Kelly! :) Jennifer M, Tampa, FL 12/15/2008 Tampa DJ Kelly Shires
Kelly was wonderful. Played all songs request, and kept everyone on the dance floor. Did a really great job. Would use him again. -Kim M, Valrico, FL July 2008 Valrico DJ Kelly Shires
Kelly, Thanks so much! You were great with the kids and transitioned perfectly as the party moved to a more mature audience. We definitely want to use you again for our next event. Please feel free to put us down as a reference. Thanks Again, The Payton's

Great music selection and professionalism. Communicated well before and during the event. I would highly suggest using Spin Master D.J. Kelly John H. Palmetto, FL Palmetto DJ Kelly Shires
We were all so pleased that Kelly was there for our special event. He is a true professional, who helped make the evening great. I highly recommend DJShires! Hope D. Sanford, FL 10/13/2007 Sandford DJ Kelly Shires
We were very pleased with Spin Master DJ. He was professional and accomodating in regards to our requests. We had him for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen Party. He played the music my daughter and her friends requested, and also respected the wishes of her parents (no music containing profanity). I would definately use him in the future. Eric K. Spring Hill, FL 2/16/2008 Spring Hill DJ Kelly Shires
I asked DJ Kelly to please make the candle lighting ceremony of my daughters sweet 16's flawless. To be sure the music is played at the right time, the right song with the right candle, and he was FLAWLESS! He had all the teens up and dancing, and really helped make the party a success! He did a great job, and I look forward to hiring him again for future parties! A BIG thanks to Kelly! Lisa Y. Brandon, FL 2/17/2008
Kelly was wounderfull and made our special event memorable and fun. All of the music was fantastic, and Kelly was spot on with all of our special announcements, the first dance, mother groom dance, daughter father dance, just a great time for everyone. We had a flawless experience. It was nice to have a professional that understands the importance of my event. Thank you! Tom K. Tampa DJ , FL 1/12/2008

| All DJs are the same, right? They just play music.
This is a common misconception. Especially with wedding DJs, there is quite a bit of work going on behind the scenes. I am a professional disc jockey and will work closely with catering staff, photographer, and other event personnel to coordinate events. During the dancing portion, I will be choosing the right music based on audience response and experience. I believe your reception should be elegant and enjoyable for all. I will be energetic, but not overwhelming to you and your guests. My service is different than most others; I customize your Event or Wedding to fit your individual needs and requests. I am a highly experienced DJ that will play what you request, for you and your guests to have a memorable and enjoyable Event.

| What to expect on your Wedding Day |
A Sample Wedding Ceremony Program
Prelude - For the prelude, you might select a DJ, pianist or perhaps a string quartet or flutist. The music played in the prelude is usually instrumental or a personal choice. Celestial or light jazz music would be appropriate.
Processional - Whether you choose "Here Comes the Bride" or another accompaniment as you march down the aisle, your processional will announce your arrival. All in attendance will stand as you make your way toward the center point. The DJ or instrument(s) need to be loud enough to hear. A flute would not be recommended. Also, if your wedding ceremony is indoors, be sure the music or instrument isn't too loud, as it will make guests uncomfortable.
Poetry/Scripture Readings - If you choose to include this optional segment, you might consider having soft music or an instrumentalist playing in the background. Most brides use the same DJ or add an instrumentalist who played during the prelude for the readings also.
Unity Candle/Soloist - A popular practice in a wedding ceremony is to light a unity candle. The bride's parents and the groom's parents each light separate candles. Then the bride takes one candle, the groom takes the other and they simultaneously light a new candle symbolizing the union of the two families.
Three scenarios have taken place during the unity candle lighting. Music by the DJ or the Instrumentalists play softly in the background during the lighting or a soloist sings during the lighting. A third option is to have a gentle melody playing during the lighting and afterward have a soloist sing to the couple.
Vows - There are several places within the exchanging of vows where a soloist could sing a song. Before the vows, after the vows or before the rings are all practical and acceptable places for a soloist to sing.
Recessional - The part of the wedding ceremony you've been waiting for! Congratulations! You are husband and wife. Of course, you need music to leave by. The same principles apply to the recessional as did to the processional. All in attendance will stand as you make your way out of the gathering place.
| Proper Placement of Music for Your Wedding Reception
Your wedding reception will generally have some sort of entertainment. Typically, wedding DJ will be used.
Arrival – After the wedding and upon your arrival to the reception hall, the DJ will announce your wedding members and last the groom and bride as man and wife.
Mingling - For the next few minutes, bride and groom will mix and mingle as they make their way to your reserved table. In order to alleviate feelings of awkwardness, light jazzy music should be playing in the background.
Service of Food - At this point, if a formal meal is being served, it will generally take place now. If hors d'oeuvres are offered, guests and the bridal party will simply help themselves throughout the wedding reception. Throughout the meal, soft music should be playing. The DJ will announce that dinner is served.
First Dance - Obviously, you'll want to select a special song for the band or DJ to play for your first dance. This is probably one of the most touching memories you'll have of your wedding reception. The first dance is typically done when you are first announced as Husband and wife, or after the meal is completed.
Best Man's Toast - Just before the cutting of the cake, the best man will generally offer a toast to the couple. While no music is needed during the toast, your wedding DJ needs to be aware of the events, so they can stop and start the music as needed.
Cutting of the Cake - A fun and potentially dangerous portion of the wedding reception! Be gentle with one another. Don't do anything you'll regret later. Music can be used if requested at the cutting of the cake.
Tossing of Bouquet - music is played during the tossing of the bouquet and that of the garter belt.
Departure of Bride and Groom - As your friends and family gather to toss rose petals, rice or bird seed, or to blow bubbles, your special day will make way for a special life with your new mate. Typically this would be the time for a thank you to the congregation from the Bride and Groom to end the night.
