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.
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.
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.
Clicking on the links below will give you some ideas when selecting music for these events.

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.
Do you charge for your setup time?
No. Any time that it takes for me to setup or take down my equipment is not your financial responsibility.
Do you charge extra for extended travel?
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.
At this time, I do not offer any version of karaoke as an entertainment option.
From where do you get all of your music?
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.
Is your music edited for explicit content?
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.
