Be sure to leave it to the professionals and you won’t be disappointed. Different packages are usually available to fit around your budget and be sure to check with your venue first, in case they don’t permit fireworks.

These folks have years of experience and not only do they know exactly what to play when, they can create the atmosphere you’re looking for during your big bash. Make an appointment to meet your DJ face-to-face before the big day, if possible, to discuss your likes and dislikes as well as any song requests you simply can’t do without, including the all-important first dance.

Brilliant at breaking the ice, a magician will have your guests enthralled and chatting as though they’ve known each other for years thanks to their exciting shared experience.
