Why A/T Entertainment, LLC?
​
We offer our services to just about any event you have in mind, though more often than not, we find ourselves catering to those searching for DJs for their wedding. With that in mind, if we focus on that special day, most couples would agree that the most important part of their wedding is when they say "I do".
​
The most important part of our job is ensuring everything falls in place; whether it's the moment before walking down the aisle, or making your first appearance as newlyweds at the after party, our job continues until the very end of your reception. That's A/T Entertainment.
​
When searching for a DJ, it is important to understand the work behind making sure your day is as memorable as you had imagined it. A/T Entertainment doesn't just show up to your reception and play music for 4 to 6 hours; we will spend many hours prior to your special day preparing for your event. We ensure to keep an open line of communication with you as we prepare for your big day. This includes things like: organizing your music and specific playlists. Developing schedules. Placing together your introduction list. Reviewing and going over first dances. Preparing wedding games. Testing equipment and backup systems. Packing equipment. Loading equipment. Unloading equipment. Setting up equipment. Coordinating with event planners, venue owners, photographers, videographers, caterers, and other wedding vendors all before your reception even starts.
​
Your dress, flowers, and table decorations will be gorgeous! The ceremony will be beautiful and the food will taste amazing! All of these things will create your ambiance, but they won’t entertain your guests.
​
At A/T Entertainment, we will have started playing background music well before your guests arrive. Your bridal party introduction music is cued up and ready to go with your introduction list at hand. We will be the first to introduce and welcome you for your first public entry as newlyweds.
​
From there you will be guided into your first dance, (depending on your schedule), and then dinner will be announced. During dinner, soft background music will be played, and either we or someone of your choosing will host the toasts. After dinner, We will introduce other traditional dances like father/daughter, mother/son, and/or any other special dances you have requested… then it’s time to get the party started!
​
YOUR GUEST CAME TO BEAR WITNESS TO TWO LOVED ONES SHARE THEIR VOWS AND EXCHANGE RINGS IN A BEAUTIFUL AND THOUGHTFUL CEREMONY.
THE ENTERTAINMENT IS YOUR THANK-YOU GIFT TO YOUR GUESTS.
​
A/T Entertainment will have prepared a music set containing your special songs and requests that will be missed throughout the night. We will continue with special dances, and also keep an eye on the schedule. We will emcee your traditional special events like your garter toss, bouquet toss, wedding games, and cake cutting. We are not simply playing music as DJs but ideally, we are the hired host of your reception! At the end of the night, we will play your last dance, thank you and your guests for a great evening, and shut down the system. Then we are back to packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking again.
​
There is a possibility you will probably spend more on food and flowers than you do on your DJ and that's okay, but in a month after your wedding, most of your guests won’t remember the cake, the food, the flowers, or your table decorations, but they WILL remember what a great time they had celebrating your wedding and being entertained by A/T Entertainment.
