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).

Tribute to relative who passed at a wedding.

Pictures below are from a wedding at the Zion Moose Lodge in Zion, IL.  There was a packed dancefloor to Freebird as a tribute to the Groom's uncle.  You must always be careful when paying homage to a deceased relative.  The mood of your wedding must be protected, we can help!  One of the advantages of using Fun Times DJ is that we sit down with you two months before your wedding and go over everything so you can relax knowing that everything went smoothly, even when things could be bumpy.  

Give us a call at 847-406-3535 and let's discuss your perfect wedding day.

Tradition can be fun!

Tradition can be fun!  At this wedding a must play was "Taking Care of Business" by BTO.  As you can see, the family came together to sing along and dance.  That is what a wedding is about, right!

When planning your wedding day, ask your parents or relatives if there are any must play sings or traditions that need to be honored.  Maybe you even create your own tradition!

We Make Your Wedding Sound Like Your Wedding...

As this couple were formerly announced Husband and Wife we played the song "Gone Gone Gone" by Phillip Phillips. It was a meaningful song to them and when we sat down to go over music it was the perfect choice. Call Fun Times DJ today to achieve your perfect wedding that matches you. 847-406-3535. www.funtimesdj.com

Outdoor weddings...

They sure can be fun...but there are challenges.
Good weather of course is the variable that can be hoped for but not planned on. In 20 years of DJing weddings I can tell you that we have only had one ceremony moved inside and one reception that was rained heavily on but the tent protected all. Fun Times DJ might be good luck!
Insects can be another challenge. Mosquitoes on the guests, flies on the food or every seven years secedas in the air, very loud. Planning ahead can minimize their impact.
Neighbors. Make sure you invite them. Another thing you can do to play it safe is to lower the times in the day. Instead of 6p to 12a do 3:30p to 9:30p.
Have a great wedding and get a DJ to make sure it is the right mix of outdoor casual with the right amount of wedding formal.
I know one...Fun Times DJ. With coverage all over Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin with the majority of our work done in Chicagoland. 847-406-3635. www.funtimesdj.com

Here we go!

You leave the church, head to the banquet hall. Is everything going to be how you want it? Make sure you have personal appointments at the time of booking and at least 30 days before your wedding day. That way you can be confident and relaxed on one of the most important days of your life. For a DJ that thinks this way visit www.funtimesdj.com.

It's tradition but is it mandatory?

Garter and Bouquet, cake cutting, Dollar dance, Chicken dance, Apron dance, Grand march, Or what ever our grandparents did. Yes they were tradition but no, they do not have to be a part of your wedding. Keep in mind it is your day So why waste time fretting a moment at your wedding.
You can also come up with creative alternatives to those traditions such as The longest married couples dance instead of a bouquet toss. Whatever you choose make sure it is a reflection of you and your husband or bride. At Fun Times DJ we will have those conversations so you can have fun and be relaxed your wedding day.
Need some ideas? Give Fun Times DJ a call at 847-406-3535 and visit us at www.funtimesdj.com.

Helpful Hint!!!!!

Wherever you are is where they will be!  If you are on the dancefloor, your guests will be too!  Try not to go outside and smoke.  Make sure your photographer does not steal you from your party.  Have someone else get your drinks.  The day of your wedding you are a "people magnet".  Guide your entourage to the dancefloor and like LMFAO say "wiggle wiggle wiggle".  It will make your guests way more danceable.  They are at your wedding because they want to be with you after all.

Now Pick up the phone for more helpful hints and book one of the most requested DJ's in Chicago.

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....

We play some of the most prestigeous locations in Chigoland!

This was a view of a wedding just before introductions at the Palmer House Hilton.  This was one of a series of weddings that were linked to Kate and Michael Nierengarten.  You will also find Fun Times DJ on the Drake --eferral list, needless to say...not a long list.  Call us today and stop worrying about your guests being entertained and having fun at your wedding!  847-406-3535

So you got engaged on Christmas...

I always thought it was a classy thing to do.  A marriage is a joining of two families, so proposing in a family setting makes perfect sense.  In January there will be a ton of bridal shows, don't let pushy vendors make you purchase services based on their schedule...it is your day.  While booking a vendor with plenty of advance time is the right thing to do, (for your own sanity) don't say yes to fast to a pushy sales pitch with 100 brides behind you.  Use a bridal show to get a quick overview of the wedding professional and make notes to set appointments with those who spoke to your needs/dreams. 
Then before you know it the day will be here and everything will be perfect!

Here are some recommendations...
