Welcome to my website!

 

My name is Daryl Beier.  I am the owner/operator of Horizon Entertainment DJ, a unique full service disc jockey (DJ) emcee, special events entertainment company.


As opposed to other large mobile DJ agencys, I take pride in performing each and every special event personally so when you contract with Horizon Entertainment DJ, you can rest assured that you will be getting a unique and experienced entertainer, a professional with more than 20 years of entertainment experience.


My love of music and entertaining began during my early childhood.  Growing up on a family farm gave me plenty of time to listen to music.  My father, who always had a very strong love of music (and who had always wanted to be in a band himself) encouraged us children to have the same love for music that he always had.  He encouraged us to take up playing a musical instrument at an early age. I decided to take up playing the guitar. By the time my siblings and I were teenagers, we had become proficient musicians and so we fulfilled my father's dream of starting a family band.


We began our early entertainment career singing for churches.  Eventually, this led to our band playing for county fairs and other community events. After several years, our family band became well-known throughout the state of Wisconsin, as well as throughout the Midwest. This soon led our family band to play for even larger festivals, state fairs and becoming the opening act for a large number of famous celebrities, nationally known entertainers and entertaining for crowds of more than 50,000 people.


After getting married and having children, however, everything changed. I was no longer able to devote so much time to managing the band, engaging in band rehearsals, maintaining touring equipment and traveling cross-country with the band. As an alternative, I decided to devote my talent and experience toward becoming a professional special events and wedding DJ, something that I could do on my own, without having many of the time commitments involved with the family road show band.


My first official disc jockey event was actually performing for a wedding in the fall of 1992. Since then, Horizon Entertainment has grown and we can accommodate almost any special event or venue, large or small.  Horizon Entertainment offers a vast range of music that covers every genre and transcends the 1930's right through all of Today's Top Hits!


My interactive Master of Ceremony style, baritone speaking skills and MC speaking ability have been honed and developed as the result of many years of experience working with 100s' of professional entertainers, including professional Disc Jockeys and Emcees, as well as being the band leader of our family road show band.


As a veteran entertainer and the owner/operator of Horizon Entertainment, I hold very high standards, some of which are included here:


•  Horizon Entertainment carrys a wide assortment of backup equipment at all times to every job site for all shows. With Horizon Entertainment you never have to worry about equipment failure.

•  Horizon Entertainment uses a legal music library.

•  Horizon Entertainment will not sub out your show to another DJ company.

•  Horizon Entertainment does not pay banquet hall managers a commission for referring your event.

•  Horizon Entertainment actively does DJ entertainment and music research to stay current!


Horizon Entertainment has provided me with a rewarding business opportunity because it allows me to continue doing what I love to do most... to constantly meet and interact with new people! 


Horizon Entertainment also gives me the opportunity to travel across the beautiful state of Wisconsin...

DJ Daryl Beier has been a wedding and party DJ (disc jockey) for over 17 years!  He has been the disc jockey for nearly 1,000 successful weddings, parties and corporate events!  DJ Daryl looks forward to serving you and your DJ needs as your wedding DJ in Southern, South-central, Southwestern and Central Wisconsin!

 

My name is Daryl Beier.  I have owned Horizon Entertainment since 1992.  My entertainment career all started when I became a lead singer and musician for a regional warm-up band when I was just sixteen years old.  After touring the Midwest for several years with the band, I envisioned becoming a wedding DJ and forming a wedding DJ company that would take "wedding entertainment" to another level, unlike any other company in the South-central/Southwestern Wisconsin region.

 

It all started with an emphasis on having vast amounts of music and then having an "entertainer" compliment the event with years of experience.  Experience as an entertainer consists of 2 primary ingredients or two very important elements … Having a wide knowledge of music and years of experience using a microphone to entertain a diverse group of people or wide-ranging audience.

 

Whether your event is a wedding, anniversary, class reunion, or high school dance, Horizon Entertainment has the most "experience" in these two very important areas to make your event a complete success!!

Wedding Receptions 

Golden Rules of Making DJ Music Memories

 

 Good Wedding DJs work with brides and grooms and vice versa.  Brides and Grooms and Good Wedding DJs should interview one another in order to reflect on tastes in everything to do with a wedding, including the music selection.  The music a DJ plays and the service he provides determines much of the success of a wedding reception.  This can not be stated enough…


Overview


Music plays such an important role and backdrop to all of our lives.  Memories often correspond with whatever song was playing in the background at the time a memory was made. Weddings are fabulous occasions for celebrating a couple's past and future through music.  Therefore, it is a good idea for Wedding DJs, when they interview a couple, to ask about songs they remember from when they first met, what songs and styles of music they enjoy now and the tone they want to set for their wedding reception.

Choose music from sources such as Billboard’s Hot 100, for example, to find songs that fit with the couple's vision of the reception. Include a mix of ballads for slow dancing and popular hits to pack the dance floor.   A Good Wedding DJ will provide a couple with sample playlists which include songs that are currently the most popular for various special wedding dances and special events such as the Grand Entrance, Cutting of the Wedding Cake, Bride and Groom’s First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance, Grand March, Bridal Party Dance, Bouquet Toss, Garter Toss, Dollar Dance/Money Dance, Last Dance, etc.  This will not only give the bride and groom the DJ tools they need to plan their reception, but these lists can also help jog memories about songs they might have otherwise forgotten about, but want to include.  A Good Wedding DJ will always ask the bride and groom for a list of songs they definitely want played, and a list of any songs they absolutely don't want played.


A Good Wedding DJ will ALWAYS Set up his equipment early and test everything to make sure there are no technical difficulties, well in advance of the wedding reception. Arriving hours in advance is never too early!

 

A Good Wedding DJ will ALWAYS start his set off by congratulating the couple, introducing himself and then letting the audience know they can ask for song requests (as long as this is alright with the couple).

 

A Good Wedding DJ will ALWAYS play songs that are appropriate, at their appropriate times and at the right volume levels … slow songs for the married couple's first dance and then faster songs as the night progresses, especially as you come into the mid and later portion of the night.  If the bride and groom leave early to change for their honeymoon, it’s a good idea for the Bride/Groom and Wedding DJ to work this out ahead of time and then let the guests know that the couple will be leaving.
