We always have your first dance!

We all have fun going over music for your wedding day in a meeting two months before your wedding day.  After that meeting we place your first dance on a flash drive as well as a cd.  Infact we so this with all of the important dances.  As Meghan Trainor would say, "No Treble".

Reserve Fun Times DJ for your wedding today by calling 847-406-3535 (DJDJ).

Your story apart of your wedding.

At Fun Timed DJ we make your wedding sound like your wedding. We do it by asking specific questions about how you met and the songs that help to tell your story and bring back fun thoughts.  With this information we can make an evening more fun and relatable to you and your guests.  For  instance, Josh and Amanda were married and their cake cutting song was "Stand by Me" which was also the song they first slow danced to together in the seventh grade.  This created a perfect wedding moment!  

Make your wedding reception more meaningful, call Fun Times DJ at 847-406-3535 today.

Less cliche songs for weddings...

Right now at Fun Times DJ we are sitting down with our June weddings to help couples make their wedding sound like their wedding. What we mean by that is we find out favorite, important songs and artists from each couple and work from there. Then we start to solidify song choices for cocktail music, cake, bouquet, etc.
this helps wedding to sound like any other. (in other words it is time to stop using songs like "Single Ladies") It

Here are a few of those choices that couples have made.

Bouquet: "Where Them Girls At" David Guetta

Garter: "Business Time" Flight of the Concordes, "Lady" Lenny Kravitz

Cake Cutting: "Honey Bee" Blake Shelton

Call us at Fun Times DJ today to schedule a consultation to help make your wedding a reflection of you!
