One of the most important parts of an event is the music. This may seem like a good place to save money and just use a playlist, but if you\u2019re considering\u00a0 iPod vs DJ, what is most important to guarantee a great event?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The music sets the tone, provides the energy and can regulate the ups and downs of a party.\u00a0 Although using an iPod with a good playlist might seem easy enough, it can\u2019t compare with the skills of a dedicated DJ to ensure your corporate event is a success.\u00a0 At EPIC Entertainment, we\u2019ve seen it all and share these reasons why a professional DJ is the best choice.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Leave Me This Way<\/strong> \u2013 the audiovisual staff at your event site might be willing to set up some speakers, plug in your iPod, hit \u201cplay,\u201d and then\u2026leave. Typically, they will not monitor your music other than possibly changing the volume or turning it off if you need to use a mic. That is IF they are even in the area when you need them.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s Get it Started In Here<\/strong> – even though you may think you know your audience well or have a playlist that you love, you never know exactly how your guests will react to the songs.\u00a0 Some groups enjoy a slow start while others need a big pop hit to get everyone on the dance floor.\u00a0 Only an experienced DJ can gauge the crowd and see which songs are working, find them immediately, and get the party started.<\/p>\n You Make Me Feel Like Dancing<\/strong> \u2013 similarly, parties ebb and flow. Guests get tired and need some slow songs to recuperate, while not wanting to actually go sit down. A professional DJ will read the crowd, notice more people moving on or off the dance floor for different types of music, and tailor the songs accordingly throughout your event.\u00a0 Additionally, only a DJ can accommodate special requests from the guests and add songs that aren\u2019t even on your iPod playlist.<\/p>\n Something to Talk About<\/strong> \u2013 an experienced DJ can also serve as an emcee for your event and interact with your guests when needed.\u00a0 Whether to introduce speakers, manage Karaoke, or just encourage everyone out onto the dance floor, a professional DJ knows how to engage the crowd and set the tone for your event.<\/p>\n Shine a Light<\/strong> \u2013 many DJs can also add and\/or manage additional effects and responsibilities for you.\u00a0 From the obvious consultation regarding the playlist, to lighting, fog effects, video screens, and other exciting effects that can create an ambiance and tone for your event.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t leave the importance of music shuffling on an iPod.\u00a0 Ensure your event\u2019s success with a professional DJ.\u00a0 At EPIC Entertainment we have a roster of recommended DJs who know how to engage the crowd, monitor the music, and keep the party going for as long as you\u2019ve booked the room.\u00a0 So give us a call and you\u2019ll be in love with the DJ, too.<\/p>\n [author-box-2]<\/em><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the most important parts of an event is the music.
