BIO for Dj Daryl of Wisconsin 

 

Discover What Makes A Great Wedding Dj Welcome to the Wisconsin Party and Events Planning Guide

 

  

Daryl has been a professional mobile disc jockey since 1992.  Daryl actually began his entertainment career prior to 1992 when he was only 16 years old as a lead vocalist and back-up singer, professional emcee, musician and band leader in a travelling family road show band. 

For several years, Daryl was not only a wedding singer and entertained for weddings, but he performed as the lead singer and guitar player for a very successful, well-known and recognized, award winning regional warm-up band that opened for a number of famous and nationally known song artists. 

Despite Daryl’s background as a professional entertainer, sound and lighting technician, emcee, band manager, Karaoke jockey, DJ entertainer, singer and musician, he enjoys providing the DJ service for weddings most of all.  He is dedicated to creating a fun, unique, and memorable experience for his clients.

 

To sum it up, Dj Daryl has a diverse musical background, a deep knowledge and love for all types of music, extensive technological expertise, a lot of experience as an entertainer and a vast array and wide assortment of music, from every era and genre, with a massive music library of over 100,000 song titles.  Finally, Daryl has the ability to “read the crowd” in order to achieve and create an exciting and unforgetable event.

"As the owner of Horizon Entertainment since 1992, I take great pride and joy in the work that I do when I am performing at any event.  Choosing the right wedding DJ isn't easy, however! The right wedding DJ can make your event.  The wrong DJ can break your event!  That's why I do everything I possibly can to make your big day one that you will never forget!  I do everything possible to make my clients happy.  I realize this is their big day so I try and do all of the things they want, including play all of the music they want!"

The Checkbook Perspective 

 

Has anyone ever left a wedding day one minute early because the food was cold or the cake didn’t taste good? How about if the flowers or balloons didn’t arrive? NO! Has anyone cut the day short because the entertainment wasn’t very good? … or worse still, didn’t bother to show up at all? YES!!! Countless times!

                       

                      Modern Bride magazine once said that, nationally, the average bride and groom spent over $15,000.00 on everything to do with their wedding day! Locally, we estimate the cost to be closer to about $10,000.00 ... That means if you get married at 2:00 p.m. and the last song is played at 12:00 a.m. (that’s 10 hours) you will have sent $1,000.00 an hour for the most important day of your life to be perfect!

 

If your deejay isn’t an entertainer and he or she loses the momentum of your show, you gradually lose your guests. By 11:00 p.m. your deejay is now playing to just a handful of people. Soon, you thank the deejay and tell him (or her) to go ahead and shut down for the night, because all of your guests have left!

 

If your show ends one hour early, that’s $1,000.00 that you have spent on the most important day of your life! Add in the cost of the cheap $500.00 deejay, and you’ve spent $1,500.00 on a performance that let you down!

 

Disc Jockeys charge what they perceive themselves to be worth. You get what you pay for in this world and that also holds true when it comes to hiring a wedding deejay. HORIZON ENTERTAINMENT will not compromise quality for price. Our reputation means way too much to settle for less when it comes to the quality of our service. HORIZON ENTERTAINMENT is a professional, full service deejay company. Our continued success depends upon maintaining the integrity and excellence of our service. HORIZON ENTERTAINMENT doesn’t just claim or promise quality … we give quality entertainment and service, every time, all the time!

 

We believe we are worth one hour of your wedding day. We may not always charge it, but we are definitely worth it.  If having the best wedding reception entertainment that money can buy, for your once-in-a-lifetime event is important to you, you have found your entertainment...

Hi Dary!

We have received so many nice compliments about you (the DJ) it has been great.  I always say the music can make or break a wedding and you definitely made ours.  As I said that night, we would recommend you to anyone.  We really appreciated everything, despite the confusion we had, when you first arrived, regarding whether or not the wedding ceremony would be held indoors or outdoors - UGH - but in the end, everything turned out great:)  It was also great spending time, after the wedding, speaking with you...  Weren't you exhausted? Especially where you had to sing for church Sunday morning?  It took us a week to recover from that night!  Congratulations to you and Rose on your 23 years of marriage.  That's awesome and a great accomplishment!  I wish you both the best in another 23 plus years!  And with that said, we certainly do like making positive impressions and if our wedding day made a positive impression on you, that is a great accomplishment, because you've been to plenty!

Dear Daryl,

Even though it's been a few weeks now since our daughter's wedding, we are STILL hearing how much fun our guests had at the dance! You are an EXCELLENT DJ and your personality, paired with your professionalism, helped make that day one of the happiest in our family's memory.  If you ever need a word of recommendation, I would be honored to give that.  Thank you for everything you did for us.  I feel as if we had a friend playing the tunes instead of someone whom we just hired.

Most Sincerely,

Kathleen Holly

 

Daryl-

Thank you so much for being such a special part of our day!  You did the greatest job and made everything perfect!  Super job!

Heather and Chad Hunter

 

Daryl,

Thank you soooo much for your DJ service at our wedding!  We thought you were absolutely EXCELLENT!  You handled yourself very professionally and impressed our many guests.  That reception was the type we dreamed about and wanted, which is largely due to you!

Thanks!

Andy and Jillian Troxel

 

Daryl,

Chris & I would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude for the outstanding job that you did for our wedding dance.  We had numerous people compliment us on your outstanding dj performance, quality sound equipment and light show.  They also appreciated the dinner music and your play list.  We feel that you helped make our day extra special.  You have our recommendation in the future and thank you for everything!  We could tell you were having a good time also. 

 

P.S.  Thank you for introducing us and the bridal party [Grand Entrance] before dinner.  We also thought you might like to know, since you and my brother were friends while attending the University of Wisconsin--Platteville,  Chad broke his foot that night, apparently when he jumped off a table.  Chad broke his foot about 12:30 a.m., but continued to dance and put pressure on it until the hall shut us down at bar time!  Chad thought he had sprained it, however, when he woke up the next morning, he couldn't walk on it!

Feel Free to use us as references, anytime!

Thank you so much for the great music you played at our wedding dance April 30, 2005.  We had a great time!  I have never seen my husband dance so much.  I provided you with a short list of music that we liked and you filled in the rest exceptionally well.  Every song you played was great to dance to and we liked them all.  You kept our guests around, enthused and dancing the entire night.  We appreciated all that you did to make our wedding day extra special.  It really meant a lot to us.  Please accept this gift as a token of our appreciation.

Thanks again!

Deb and Frank

Dear Daryl-

Just a quick note to say thank you for the great job you did on Saturday night at our 50th Wedding Anniversary party.  We know this wasn't your usual job as I'm sure you're used to a lot of partying and more dancers.  We wish we hadn't been so tired as we really do like to dance and would have done more of it -- the music was just great!  We also appreciated your keeping the volume at a level where people could enjoy it, yet still talk.  We have had several calls this week where our guests mentioned they really enjoyed the music.  Thank to for doing this at the last minute.  Maybe we will be able to attend a wedding party when you're doing the music.  Hope so!  Thanks again...

Sincerely,

Nancy and Don Hamilton

Thanks again,

Deb Putnam, University of Wisconsin-- Platteville, Events Coordinator for the Chicago Bears Training Camp

 

Hey Daryl-

It's good to have you back.  Wow!  Thank you so much for doing such a super, super job!  I have heard so many good comments about the wide variety of "great sounding" music that was played at the picnic.  Thanks for keeping the volume down also.  I'm sure the wedding party at the church next door appreciated your consideration as well.  We really appreciate all your hard work and look forward to having you back again next year, the first weekend in August.  Mark it on your calendar!  P.S.  If you need references, please don't hesitate to call me.

Hi Daryl,

There's no way I can thank you enough for what you did for us ... but if you ever need references, we're it!  I'd like to take this time to say thank you for making my parents 50th wedding anniversary a very special day.  The music you selected was so appropriate and your singing/Karaoke machine was very enjoyable.  Again, my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hi Daryl,

Just thought I would drop a note to say thank you for doing the sound reinforcement for Precious Jade.  Thank you for being so accomodating and flexible.  It was certainly a pleasure working with you and a pleasure getting to know you.  You're probably one of the nicest guys and best sound technicians we've experienced and had the pleasure of working with.  Thank you for making our show a great success.  I hope we have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Sincerely,

How To Do Just About Everything

How to Find a Great DJ or Band for Your Wedding Reception

 

Words of Wisdom and Advice from DJ Daryl and Horizon Entertainment... 

 

There’s an old saying which says "The difference between a good carpenter and a bad carpenter is not that the good carpenter doesn’t make mistakes, but that he’s better at turning them into masterstrokes."  You can and should try to prevent mistakes from happening, but it’s a fact of project life that things inevitably can and sometimes do go wrong.  Knowing this, however, should make it easier, not harder, for both brides and grooms not to worry while preparing for their wedding.  Both brides and grooms need to "enjoy" the moment...  Take time to enjoy your wedding preparation plans and don't get overly worried or worked-up about all of the details. That doesn't mean you shouldn't work hard at accomplishing your goals, in order to fulfill your wedding dream plans, but you should go about doing so with a light heart, while accepting diversity and the challenges (along with all of the positive things) that go along with planning for a wedding. 

 

Like the saying earlier about the good builder, it is also true that the sign of a great wedding DJ is one that has the experience, knowledge, foresight and ability to be able to adapt to any situation and make the best of it...  To make potential mistakes go unnoticed or at least appear to be unnoticeable by your guests, to turn them into masterstrokes, if you will.  Ultimately, Horizon Entertainment wants you to be RELAXED and have FUN at your wedding party, to be thinking of your honeymoon, not the details!

 

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? [Matthew 6:27]”

 

"Since I’ve been in the wedding entertainment business ever since I was sixteen years old, I’ve seen a lot of wedding receptions come and go . . . what I mean by that is, I’ve worked with many brides that are very organized and meticulous and know exactly what they want and then I’ve worked with some that, plainly put, are not all that meticulous.  So whether you hire me to DJ for your wedding or hire another DJ company, take what I am about to say to heart, as though it were coming from a friend, someone who really knows about weddings and cares about your wedding, because I would like to leave you with some helpful and friendly words of advice. 

 
Personally, based on many years of experience, for most weddings, wedding receptions, and wedding dances, I typically prefer to do a complete wedding package and here are some of the main reasons why… 
 
Number One, You only get One Chance and One Chance Only to make a Good First Impression . . .  I don’t care who it is or who you are, whether it’s you and your husband, your reception hall staff or your wedding DJ.  In order to make that good first impression, you need to make a conscientious effort to be prepared to do just that!  For me to make the best first impression I can make on your guests, I need to be mentally and physically prepared ahead of time.  What I mean by that is, I need to arrive at the job site as early as time allows, before any of your wedding guests have arrived, to set-up Horizon Entertainmet's massive music library and touring sound and lighting equipment. 
 

It’s quite frustrating to a DJ or anyone else for that matter, when trying to set-up a large amount of equipment only to find guests standing in the way.  Not only is it frustrating, but it's also time consuming.  It’s not only frustrating to the DJ, but it’s also being inconsiderate to your guests.  Not only is it impolite and inconsiderate, but it’s also frustrating to your guests, especially if the DJ's opening and closing exterior doors, letting in hot or cold air and requiring your guests to move out of the way in order to set-up equipment. 

 

Secondly, there is no way to do a proper sound check when your guests are there and trying to visit.  In order to do a proper sound check, the DJ needs to be able turn up the sound system volume to the level at which he will be performing during the dance, not at the sound levels he would be playing for dinner music.  A high performance automobile engine may run well at an idle, but start working it hard, if it’s not properly fine-tuned, it will not perform properly or optimally.  Therefore, if your guests have already arrived, there is no possible way for your DJ to perform a proper audio and microphone check without being inconsiderate to your guests. 

 

Thirdly, a DJ not only needs to set-up a sound system and perform a sound check and mic check, but he also needs to set-up a lighting system and do a light check.  Again, you simply shouldn’t be setting up equipment and have bright disco lights flashing once the guests begin to arrive.  A DJ simply can’t do these types of things without feeling rushed and being impolite to your guests. 

 

Fourthly, if the DJ must rush around in a mad dash to accomplish his purposes before the dance, he will likely be feeling somewhat inconvenienced and your guests are likely to be somewhat frustrated by the DJ, as well.  Again, this isn't a good way to set the tone for the evening.  The more rushed a DJ feels before the start of the event and the less time he has to prepare himself mentally and physically for an evening of fun (not stress), the less successful and less likely he will be to put on a stellar performance! 

 

As for me, I prefer to be completely set-up at least a half-hour before your first guests arrive.  This gives me time to wind down and cool down by getting a drink of water and relaxing.  In addition, it also allows time for me to go and freshen up, put on some cologne, even brush my teeth if I want and then get dressed into my tuxedo.  Now that I know everything is set-up and working properly and I’ve had time to clean-up and get dressed into my tuxedo, I’m into the groove! I’m ready to party!  I have the right mental attitude!  I’m in the right state of mind and I can again begin preparing for the evening by going over the list of events found in my wedding reception guide sheet that were laid out far in advance of your reception. 

 

Now that I’m refreshed . . . I'm dressed in my tuxedo!  I'm ready to go with my sound and lighting equipment!  Everything is sounding great and working perfectly (before your guests have arrived, of course:) . . . I’m mentally prepared, psyched up and ready for an evening full of fun and celebration!  I can now put on a big smile, mingle with your guests, work with your photographer and videographer, write down a few more notes, take down a few song requests early in the evening and even get to know a few of your guests . . . before your dance ever starts!  Again, this sets the tone for the entire evening! 

 

Once you and your husband arrive, we can plan ahead to do a Grand Entrance!  We can pick out a song that you would like to enter the reception hall with!  I can then request that your guests stand and applaud as I announce your names and you enter the hall with your bridal party!  These are the types of things that make a positive impression on your guests and they set the tone for the entire evening. 

 

Remember, We only get One Chance to make a Good First Impression on Your Guests!

 

From the time your first guests arrive and enter the reception hall, I continue to work your audience by making announcements, when appropriate and as needed, while playing up-tempo background music that is quiet enough for people to talk above, yet audible enough that they have an enjoyable time listening and tapping their toes along to the music!  I can’t count how many times, I’ve received so many positive comments and feedback, especially from some of the older guests on the various types of great sounding background music that I play.  In addition, I am available for your entire evening to make other announcements, such as the cutting of the wedding cake and to play an appointed song for all such special occasions, while encouraging your guests to grab their cameras and video cameras to capture precious moments and special events, to make future memories! 

 

Finally, the wedding reception hall will often have me request that your guests be seated before dinner.  The wait-staff may want me to announce to your guests that they will be serving the head table first, then the immediate family, etc.  If you have a buffet line, for example, the reception hall may ask me to announce that your guests remain seated until their table is released by a reception hall wait-staff member.  Next, you too may want me to make special announcements, such as (if you choose) asking the blessing or saying grace before the meal.  I furnish a SHURE professional UHF wireless microphone for this purpose, which may also be used for making the Best Man's Toast, Maid/Matron of Honor's Toast, etc.  Once dinner is over, the tables and chairs have been put away and the dance floor has been cleared, since I’m there working anyway, you are free to start your dance any time you choose! 

 

If this is the way you would like to see your wedding dance go or at least something like it, then you have found the perfect wedding DJ for your reception!"

What Many Wedding Planners are Saying...

Hire the Very Best Disc Jockey You Can Afford and Make Your Wedding Reception Memorable!!!

 

The Internet is a powerful tool and a great place to find affordable wedding entertainment products and services, but one must know the proper questions to ask so that saving money does not compromise the quality of service. Valuable questions, as well as answers to those questions can be found on this website; in addition, for more information on how to Hire the Best Wedding Djs in Wisconsin you may want to follow the links to other sites found on this website.

 

In the Disc Jockey world there are two types of shoppers ... The uninformed and ill-prepared and the well-prepared and well-informed. The uniformed or ill-prepared shopper only goes about looking for the lowest possible price, not taking into consideration the background, experience, expertise or personality of the Dj, much less the music selection or even the quality of the Disc Jockey’s sound and lighting equipment; they then base their entire purchase decision on cost information alone. On the other hand, the well-prepared and well-informed shopper looks for the highest quality Dj or at least a high quality performer who knows how to execute a successful event at a reasonable, fair and affordable market price. Meanwhile, the less informed shopper will likely be surprised or perhaps even shocked when they hear wedding Dj rate quotes exceeding $1,000.00 for a wedding reception. 

 

Typically, however, it is often the uninformed and ill-prepared shopper that ends up with the “Cheap Dj” … The deejay that not only turns out to be a major disappointment, but often shows up late for the event, is poorly groomed, doesn't wear the proper attire or have the music selection the bride wants and uses poor sounding audio equipment. When it comes to the most important day of her life, the new bride often learns the hard way, from this type of experience, that reputation is everything and far more important than savings.
