KC Sound is a DJ entertainment company owned and operated by me,
Keith Cremer. All of my music is run digitally from a notebook
computer, giving you the best sound possible.
My music is purchased through
Rhapsody, and has
been pre-edited for explicit content. All musical
requests, no matter the age or genre, will be accommodated with your
blessing.The accompanying
light show is second to none, with a
Revo
LED Lighting System,
Starball LED,
and 2-colored
Laser that are all synchronized to the music.
What I Do
I handle all of your needs
myself, from our first meeting to your reception.When you arrive at your reception, there will be a copy of
the night's itinerary waiting for you at your table just as we have
planned it together.It
may be altered completely that night or strictly followed, whichever
suits your night best.
It is just to give you some rough time frames, as I am sure your head
will be spinning the entire night.Throughout the big event, I will coordinate with the venue
manager,
caterers, photographer and serving staff to
make sure everything goes as planned.No unwelcome surprises will interrupt your perfect reception.
How To Book KC Sound
Once you decide to book me for your wedding
reception, simply give me a call or
email
me.To secure your date, a contract will be issued by mail.
You need only return a signed copy of the contract and a $100.00
non-refundable deposit that will be applied towards the balance.
Two months before the date of your event, half of the remaining balance will
be due as a non-refundable retainer. The final payment is due the
night of your event.
In order to properly plan out your wedding reception,
please download and complete the
wedding reception planner below. It will give you an idea as to the
information I will need from you at our meeting. You may either email
it back to me or simply bring it with you to our meeting.
Why haven't I seen KC Sound advertised in the newspaper or at
wedding expos?
I don't believe that you can really tell anything
about a DJ from a yellow page ad or even a booth at an expo. My philosophy is that word of
mouth is always the best advertisement. A good recommendation from a
former client is worth much more than an appearance at a wedding expo.
Every former wedding couple for whom I have DJ'd is available for
contact as a
reference.
With gas prices constantly on the rise, any distance beyond 40 miles
(one way) will be
considered extended travel, and therefore subject to a $50 travel fee.
At what point during a wedding reception do you start
charging?
Once your guests start arriving at the reception, that
is when I will "start the clock". As an example, if you have a 3pm wedding
and your guests start arriving at the reception at 4pm, and the bride and groom
don't show up until 5pm, the five hour contract time will start at 4pm and end at 9pm.
That all depends on the bride and groom. Some couples will emphatically
say, "NO REQUESTS, PERIOD!" Other couples will say, "Sure, play whatever
they want to hear." Most of the time, I will take requests throughout the
night and try to accommodate those requests. If I don't feel the song is
appropriate to play, I will either make a judgment call or ask you for your
opinion.
Do I have to have a dollar dance? Or bridal party
dance? Or a garter and bouquet ceremony?
When we meet prior to the wedding, we will create a wedding reception
itinerary so that we will have a general idea of what events will take place
throughout the night and in what order. You can choose what dances you
would like to do, what order these events will take place, what songs will be
highlighted, how you want your wedding party introduced, etc.
100% of my music is legally purchased and downloaded courtesy of my
membership to Rhapsody. If
your reception location has free WiFi, as many of the local hotels in the
Williamsport area do, I am able to download requests immediately if I don't
already have them.
Absolutely YES. I insist on having edited music.
Most of the music that I download is already edited by their record label.
However, if an edited version of a song cannot be found, I will download an
unedited version and do the editing myself using a program called
Audacity.
Yes. I keep a backup amplifier and spare Peavey speakers as backups
just in case of an emergency. I also bring a secondary laptop which has my
entire music library on it.
What if my contracted time is up but we'd like to keep the
reception/party going longer? Will you stay longer?
When we meet to create the evening's itinerary, we'll settle on the start and
end time of the reception. As an example, if the reception is set to end
at 9pm, I will approach you around 8:45pm to see if you would like to continue
past the contractual time. I will not leave until you are ready for the
reception to end. Every half hour beyond the contractual time will be
billed at a rate of $50 per half hour. We can simply settle the finances
at the end of the night.
If your event is going to be outside, a secure shelter must be nearby in
order to protect my equipment from severe weather. It is your
responsibility to have an electrical source within 25 feet of where I will be
stationed.
Are you going to get out on the dance floor and party with
us?
Thankfully for you, no. I am the first one to admit that I cannot
dance, nor can I sing (just ask my wife). There are DJ's out there that
will act as the grand marshal of the parade, but that is not my style. I do my BEST work
from behind the DJ
table, where I will continuously evaluate the dance scene and encourage your guests to
participate in a non-obnoxious manner.
I do not carry any blow up toys or instruments, hats, sunglasses, plastic
leis or any other props. I like to let the music itself create the festive
atmosphere. You are more than welcome to provide them for your guests.
Do you do anything besides just play music on your laptop?
Throughout your reception or party, I will be in constant contact with your
photographer and videographer, the catering staff, the banquet manager, and even
you, to make sure we are all on the same page. Nothing is more frustrating
to a wedding professional than to have no idea what is going on or when things
will be taking place. I will have copies of the evening's itinerary to
give to the afore mentioned people so that they can properly plan their time
accordingly. I will also be making announcements of upcoming events,
anniversaries, special dedications, etc.
