3 weddings on 1 Saturday in 3 Counties and 2 states.

Fun Times DJ was hired for 3 weddings on 10/5/13.  They took place at the Radisson in Kenosha, WI, the Arboretum Club in Buffalo Grove, IL and the Park Hyatt in Chicago, IL.  Each wedding was very different as the slogan of Fun Times DJ is "We make your wedding sound like YOUR wedding!"  We do this with our copywritten Wedding Questionnaire.  Give us a call at 847-406-3535 to set up a consultation.

Who do you trust?

Your instincts are probably correct. I recently had a bride contact me regarding her wedding reception after the DJ she found on Craig's List disappeared. though she was excited about the under market price of $500 they had agreed to she was in near tears as she called me worried about her wedding which was only as she stated 146 days away.
Whether it is price, attitude or shifty answer believe in yourself. Just like finding your soon to be new spouse, trust your instincts.

Honoring your loved ones at your wedding.

At your wedding there is a fine line on how to pay homage to someone you love who has passed.  You don't want to take away from the fun of the event but you want to show that you wish they were there.  Above is one simple and beautiful way to do that.  I have seen floating roses in a fountain and a kind mention during the ceremony.  I have also been around what became disasters like playing a photo montage of the mother of the bride who had died during the father/daughter dance.  Dedicating a song to someone who has died at your reception can be a bad idea as well. 
Have this in mind..."What are your expectations for that moment?"  I have witnessed a group of people crying at a wedding when a couple insisted on a tear jerking tribute. 
Wouldn't they want you to have a fun wedding?  YES!  Take care of the meaningful tributes at the ceremony and keep party time, party time.
Thoughts?  Things you have witnessed or done...post them here.

Fun Times DJ now offers Photobooths!

Our photobooths are more fun!

Above you see a picture of one of our photobooths.  We are so pleased to be able to offer our customers a superior product for weddings all over Chicagoland.  You can also save money on your photobooth by booking Fun Times DJ for your wedding.

Call Fun Times DJ now at 847-406-3535 to get Fun Times DJ and our Must Have Photobooths!

Here 10 reasons to get a Photobooth!

1. EVERYBODY LOVES A PHOTO BOOTH

In the photo booth, everyone is photogenic! Your guests will

definitely thank you for having a photo booth and you will have

some outstanding photos to smile at after. When else will you get

to see crazy Uncle Joe and Aunt Betty loosen up with some

oversized sunglasses, bow ties and top hats?

2. OUR LIGHTNING-SPEED TURNAROUND TIME

Betcha can’t find another company who will provide you with a disc

of images

the night of your event and upload the photos online for

your guests to view and download

the very next day! We not only

post the photo strips, but also the high-resolution images - so your

guests can view, download and print their favorites. If they

REALLY love their photos, they can blow them up to poster-size

and frame them over the mantle!

3. OUR TOP-NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE

We guarantee you won’t meet a more passionate, helpful and

friendly staff anywhere else! This is no side job – this is our fulltime

career and passion. Photo booths are our specialty… so don’t

even

think of going to anyone else! We will work out all the details

with you from start to finish so when your event comes, you can sit

back, relax and rest assured that everything will run smoothly!

4. OUR FABULOUS PHOTO BOOTHS

We're certainly no pop-up tent with a camera on a tripod… We take

a lot of pride in our photo booths – they are “our babies!” We

spend LOTS of time updating and improving them for the better.

The sleek, modern design with black satin fabric curtains will fit into

any venue. You will surely be impressed!

5. BIGGER IS BETTER

These are no old fashioned two-seater photo booths that feel

cramped and claustrophobic… we have seen 13 adults inside our

photo booth! The fabric curtains can push outward so we can

accommodate as many guests as are willing to “get cozy!” From 1

to 13, your guests are sure to have a great time and take some

great pictures!

6. OUR FUN PROPS

In our prop box we have hats, sunglasses, leis, mustaches,

oversized lips, whiteboards, bow ties… and we even hand-make

clever signs! “Wedding Crasher,” “I Got The Moves Like Jagger,”

“Team Bride / Team Groom” and “Here For The Beer” - just to

name a few! Our creatively silly signs will keep your guests coming

back to the photo booth over and over again!

7. OUR AWESOME PHOTO STRIPS

We work with you to design a memorable personalized logo for the

bottom of your photo strip, so guests can cherish their time at your

event! Choose from our design samples or we can create a

custom logo that fits your event’s theme!

8. THEY MAKE GREAT PARTY FAVORS

The days of the disposable camera on the table are long gone…

What better than an instant, interactive, personalized memento

from your special occasion? Ask about our acrylic standing

frames… they can even double up as place cards, too!

9. BUILT-IN ENTERTAINMENT

Yes, the DJ will keep your guests movin’ and groovin’ on the dance

floor, but let’s face it your guests can’t be cuttin’ a rug ALL night.

So to break up the dancing let them enjoy the photo booth! They

get to pick out props, take silly photos, pick up their prints, see

others’ photos on the live slideshow, leave a silly caption in the

scrapbook, and then show off their photos to family and friends.

Kids love us too… you probably won’t be able to get them OUT of

the photo booth! Adults and kids alike will have an absolute blast!

10. UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES

After your special day is over, the only thing that lasts are the

photos… so give your guests as many photo ops as possible! We

will capture moments that a traditional photographer wouldn't

typically capture. When your guests figure out there is no "real

person" to impress behind the camera, they ham it up for the

camera! We guarantee, your photo booth photos will be one of the

best keepsakes of your night!

Think of it this way...

What is the one thing at your wedding that no one can avoid?  Well, you can not have the chicken, you can show up late and miss the ceremony, you can not be in the limo, you can also avoid the wedding cake.  The DJ though, is unavoidable.  His/her speakers help to fill up the room, or empty it.  Whether it is grandma or your college friends a good DJ should get people dancing.  A great DJ did his homework in advance and makes everyone enjoy a day all about you.  A great DJ keeps reminding people why they are there with songs and references that are about you and your new spouse. 
Make your wedding sound like your wedding and everyone will know it was the best wedding they were ever at!  If this sounds like what you are looking for for your wedding and guests call 847-406-3535 for Fun Times DJ. 

Congratulations to Engaging Event by Ali for launching your new website!  Ali and her team were named in the top 10 of Chicago Event Planners by Chicago Magazine.  Over the last seven years Fun Times DJ has been on their short list of trusted music provider/party staters!  Thank you Ali and best of luck in 2012!

Kids at your wedding?

What is it about a ceremony that makes babies cry?  They are so adorable...until they are balling and fidgeting during your nuptuals.  At the reception it is alot easier to forget about kids but at a ceremony they will let you know they are there. 
It is completely acceptable for you to make at the very least your ceremony just for adults.  By the way, how come that parent never takes the kid outside?

For more ideas and tips, visit http://www.funtimesdj.com/

What is a fair price?

Take a look at other companies in your area.  The price of a DJ is very regional.  Just ask people in Nebraska compared to New York.  Throw out the most expensive and the most inexpensive for similar services.  The most expensive, if they have nothing to truly show for the added cost and the least expensive because of the worrying you will do leading up to your wedding to see if they are really trustworthy.  Then make your decision based on who makes you feel the most comfortable and matches your requirements and desires for your wedding.

Happy wedding planning!

To smash or not smash...

Above is a picture of Samantha and Kevin Johnson as they share their wedding cake January 15, 2012 at Strawberry Creek Golf Club.  Eventually they did frost each others face. But beware!  Make sure you really know your spouse if you do.  I have seen it lead to a couples first argument as husband and wife.
Post here your thoughts on whether or not you would....

Getting married in Chicago?

Feel secure with the entertainment for your wedding when you choose the company that was the choice for the publisher of Chicago Style Weddings, Drew Walker of US99, Sherman of Q101, Joanne Genette of Kiss FM and Engaging Events by Ali! 
Fun Times DJ has been in business since 1998 and building a solid reputation of making every wedding unique to each couple.  You do not have to play the cliche songs!

Fun Times DJ WOO, People dancing WOO, Great Party WOO!

We recently had a very Cubs themed wedding.  The couple even had Ronnie Woo Woo show up and give a speech.  Making your wedding special and unique to who are is the goal!  Your wedding will be more memorable and fun.  Your guests should easily see that your wedding is a true reflection of you as a couple.  One way is to hire a wedding coordinator who can bring it all together like Ali Phillips from Engaging Events by Ali.  She and her staff will help you create the perfect wedding reception...for YOU! 
Another way is to book Fun Times DJ.  They have a copywritten wedding questionnaire that you need to see before you book with anyone else.
As Ali Phillips says..."Happy Wedding Planning!"
