Derek,
Thanks again for the awesome wedding! I meant what I said in my speech that we truly acquired more than we had bargained for with you because you were there for us more than one would expect from a lifelong friend. That being said, more importantly, your skills as an entertainer far exceed those of any so called DJ that I have seen. The pictures from the wedding speak for themselves. I am still getting compliments one month later from guests of all ages who never stepped on a dance floor prior to our wedding, but found themselves out there having a blast. Thanks again for all you did for us, we look forward to checking you out at future venues!

I would recommend Derek from Music on the Move to anyone!! His quality of service was exceptional! Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night!! He played everything we wanted to hear! He is so easy to work with and he goes out of his way to work at your convenience! Thanks Derek!! You made our wedding unforgettable!!

Music on the Move did an awesome job at my reception. Any questions or issues I faced were answered in a timely fashion. They made themselves available to me as a resource agent and helped with other aspects of my wedding not concerning music. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a killer time at their reception, thank you!!!

The whole experience was wonderful. We had so many of our guests compliment us on the music and atmosphere. The DJ did an excellent job working in our requests and expanding on our tastes, very alert to guest responsiveness to songs and seamless transitions. The preparation process went very well, we had no concerns coming up to the wedding day. The DJ kept the evening moving at a good pace and far surpassed our expectations for quality for the cost. Would definitely recommend.

Purdue University Student Event
I would like to thank all of the students who came out for the "2009 Welcome Back" event hosted by Target. I was amazed to see how many students from Purdue University participated! I would also like to thank all of those at Periscope that made the event possible! I had a lot of fun playing for the students as they entered the store. The whole experience brought me back a few years! I'm guessing over 500 of you showed up and danced in the aisles as you shopped! Best of luck to all of you this school year and I look forward to doing it all again next year!

Tips for picking a wedding DJ!! PLEASE READ
This section's tips by: ADJA (American DJ Association)
Selecting Your Music
Choosing the right music is one of the most important decisions you make in planning your event. Music sets the tone for your whole event, from the first song to the last song. While the process can seem intimidating, with a little support it can be a wonderful opportunity for self-expression.
Here are some things to think about when planning your music:
* Start the selection process early. The best DJ's are booked well in advance. The busy wedding months in many metro areas are March through June and September through December. Also keep in mind that Saturday nights are more in demand than other times.
* Look for a DJ that can play styles to suit all your guests. Your event should reflect your tastes, but you want everyone to have a great time. Look over your guest list and think about what they might like to dance and listen to. Of course, your friends are very important, but you should consider your relatives and your parents' friends as well. Be sure to choose DJ's who can provide the variety of music you want. A great DJ will make each one of your guests feel that at some point in the evening the DJ was playing just for them.
* Look for DJ's who can serve as a resource about every aspect of the entertainment for your special day. Talk with the DJ about repertoire, volume levels and audience participation. Ask lots of questions and be specific about your expectations. Don't hesitate to ask for suggestions. Your DJ should listen carefully to your ideas and concerns. It is their attention to detail that will ensure that your event will be all that you dreamed.
What to expect from a service
Chances are this is your first time hiring a Disc Jockey Service. Many people are tempted to ask (What is your price?) for their first question when interviewing a prospective disc jockey service. This is not the best way to start your interview. Price is important but not the determining factor. You want to get all of the information and the most for your money. One potential DJ may charge less because the company is less experienced or is not as well equipped to handle your function. Some DJ services charge more because their service has a great reputation and may have many bookings. They may also have an exceptional sound and light show and many years of experience. Remember the law of supply and demand.
