Long time since last update.....

Its been a while since we had any time to post. This doesn't mean we have had nothing to post- quite to the contrary, we have been too busy to update anything! The past few months we have been acquiring new equipment, new employees, and getting ready for a busy wedding season. We have welcomed a new DJ- Eric, who will start doing shows on his own in June, and 2 assistants- Jordan and Wyatt, who help with setup and take pictures during the shows. We have also added a new service- slideshows! We have gotten some cool new gadgets to present them and are putting the first shows together to present in June.

Please visit our photo gallery, which has several new albums:

Our slideshow gallery is up too- some of these are still being finessed:

My goal is to try and keep this more updated now that we have most things under control. On a personal note, Kristen's baby sister is getting married in October, and not only are we DJing, Kristen is the maid of honor, which presents its own amount of work- so we are seeing the wedding business from both sides this year!

Our first High School dance!

Saturday night, we headed down to Vermillion to play the Sadie Hawkins Dance at their High School. Kristen stayed home because we are training a few new people who will hopefully be coming on staff very soon. As promised, we debuted our largest system yet and it ended up looking great. The turnout was not great because there were lots of kids out of town for sports and other activities, but the kids who came were great and we had a lot of fun.

We have photos uploaded here:


Next Friday we will be back at the USF Student Union (one of our favorite places) for their Valentine's Dance. We always have a great time with them and they are a fun crowd.

November the Month of Nothing!

Well folks sorry to say, but we had nothing to do in November. Mobile Magic Entertainment was given a Chevrolet Astro Van in the fall. It had a blown motor so we have been working to get that up and running ever since. In December Kristen's entire side of the family came up from CO, AZ, CA for her Graduation from nursing school. It was awesome! It was so much fun to have our family here and to see her finally finish with school. Christmas was fun, we enjoyed eating dinner with Kelly's family in Iowa, and playing with our new Wii. January brought the cold and the Black Tie Bridal show. It was a good turnout and we think we have our booth mastered. In February we have two dances coming up: Feb 9th at Vermillion High School (Sadie Hawkins), and the University of Sioux Falls Valentines Dance Feb 15th. We are bringing our biggest system with every light we own and some monster speakers, we are gonna blow there doors off!
The list of lights we are bringing:
2 Intelligent Scanners
12 Flood Lights
5 Strobe Lights
1 Meteorite
1 Double Derby
2 Mushroom Lights
2 Mirror Balls
4 Pin Spots
2 Police Beacon Lights

The speakers we are bringing:
2 Peavey SP118
2 EV Eliminator II

It is gonna be loud and Fun

Another Bridal Show under our belts.....

Every bridal show we do seems to go better and better. A long night before and lots of rain slowed us down a little bit and we were still putting the finishing touches on our booth when brides showed up, but it all worked out. The slideshow we worked so hard on came out awesome and it was a great addition to our booth. We got to meet some wonderful couples and booked a few shows for next year that we are really excited about doing (including one on the 4th of July with fireworks, how cool is that!!!). It was also a great opportunity to network with other vendors. We set up some reciprocal links with some really talented people and we hope to start referring customers back and forth.

Now that its over with, we are winding down from a busy wedding season and the house is a mess! Everything is everywhere and hopefully we can take the time this winter to get caught up and organized in preperation for what will be a very busy season next year

If you came to visit us, please send us a message! We really did enjoy meeting and talking with all the wonderful couples and families and we hope that some of you will invite us to be a part of your special day!

Go Cougars!!!

Like I said before, it was a busy weekend! While Kelly did a wedding dance, Kristen played for the Homecoming Dance at USF. Even though it was raining quite a bit, there was a great turnout and the kids had a lot of fun. There was a theme, but we couldn't quite figure out what it was. Something about Mardi Gras and 80's prom dresses. The only glitch came when the microphone decided not to work, luckily I didn't have anything worth saying anyways! It was the debut of our second system and the end of a lot of work to get it all together and running. Hopefully they were happy and will have us back again, we had a lot of fun ourselves (all except for schlepping all the equipment out to our cars in the rain!).

Now that we have a second system, its time to start looking for another DJ who is just as talented and professinal as Kelly. We have heard some horror stories and I am afriad it might not be easy to find the kind of person we are looking for. We know that no one will care as much as we do, but hopefully we can find someone who cares almost as much. The extra money we could make is not as important as making sure every show we put our name on is fun, professional, and completely exceptional, and that every couple is happy.

Congratulations Shannie and Chad!

It was quite a busy weekend for us! We helped Shannie and Chad celebrate their marriage on Saturday at the Holiday Inn City Center, a venue we had never played before. They are a lovely couple and friends of ours, so we were honored to be included. Even though it rained all night, everyone stuck around and had a great time. The funniest part of the evening came when Chad had to crawl across the room to Shannie for the garter toss. It was so funny that one of his groomsmen paid him $80 to do it again! That is definitely a first for us.
Also a first for us was a cd player decided to malfunction (one side would not read cd's, we kind of need both sides to work!) The very nice people at Guitar Cebter stayed open late for us so we could pick up another one to switch out during the dollar dance (Kelly is very sneaky). Things could have been worse, but we managed to get everything under control. The most aggrivating part of it was that CD player just came back from being serviced, so Numark is going to hear an earful from us!
