Prepares like you would not believe - Hundreds of hours go into planning calls, getting to know each couple, coordinating with other vendors, researching what the radio stations in your area play, compiling potential music to play, downloading anything I don’t already have in my library and practicing new ways to mix in and out of songs

Dresses stylishly and looks professional
Knows exactly what music to play and seamlessly transitions between songs
Arrives early to ensure plenty of time for setup and sound check
Has back ups of all of their equipment
Plays the saxophone
