We take our role as MC/Master of Ceremonies very seriously, because we understand the importance of a quality MC at any event. This is especially true for more formal events like weddings. As your Master of Ceremonies, we will make announcements as needed during your event to make sure everything flows as smoothly as possible, and we can even encourage and liven up your guests. Your introductions, special dances and events, and all key aspects of your event will be handled professionally, and tastefully.
While the client and the nature of the event will determine the amount of interaction involved, our MC/performance style is generally low key and reserved. Because we understand the ability of music to create different atmospheres and moods, we love letting the music do the talking.
We find out what you want
At Sounds To Go, we always make sure we know what kind of presentation style you are looking for beforehand, so you don't have to worry about us engaging in activities or a presentation that might take away from the rest of your event. We're not game show hosts or stand-up comedians, and we are not at your event doing an "act," so you will not find us trying to fill any of these roles... only trying to create and maintain the atmosphere you desire in a tasteful and professional manner. We understand that you are choosing us to represent you to your guests!
We keep it simple, tasteful, and FUN
Our utmost desire at any event is to have the musical atmosphere we are creating felt and enjoyed by all, while we ourselves are actually seen and heard as little as possible. You, your guests, and the celebratory nature of your occasion are what makes "fun" and makes your event special... we simply provide a backdrop and atmosphere that helps to nurture and enhance these aspects of your event.
We can offer suggestions on ways to keep your guests involved throughout the course of your event without putting anyone "on-the-spot" or making them feel awkward. We realize that it is possible to make your event entertaining without our overtly trying to be entertainers. We all know from experience that there is a fine line between the two that is often crossed where the end result is a "cheesy" or over-the-top DJ performance that can be distracting, or even embarrassing.
We keep the focus on YOU!
The way we see it, if your DJ is actively trying to entertain, chances are very good that they risk taking the focus and attention away from where it belongs (on you and your guests), and putting it on themselves... and that's just not our style.
Don't get us wrong... There is a time and place for everything, and if you are doing a themed-event, or would just like to add a little general craziness using props, games, etc, we will be right there with you to ensure that you and your guests get the most out of your celebration.
In the end, it is up to you to decide how much of a "presence" you want from the person you hire, and we will do our best to accommodate your desired level of interaction, and we will help you determine this during our planning process. Contact us today to see how we can tailor our style to suit the needs of your special occasion.

Low-Key/Formal
- Very little "DJ talk time."
- Announcements as planned and as needed to keep your event running smoothly and on schedule.
- Games, activities, and props only upon request.
- Prefers to remain in the background and maintain an atmosphere as opposed to being a large part of it.
- The focus of your event stays where it should be - on YOU!
Moderate Interaction:
- Moderate amount of "DJ talk time."
- May include more DJ small-talk, jokes/humor, and or a "chit-chatty" type of presentation.
- Games, activities, and props may play a more prominent role.
- More focus on DJ.
High Energy:
- A lot of "DJ talk time," often delivered with a "game-show host" or "motivational speaker" type of presentation.
- Very animated physically, and often moving around among guests and mingling.
- Games, activities, and props are almost a given.
- DJ becomes more of a focal point of the event.
Off the mic
Just as important, if not more so, than what your Master of Ceremonies is (or isn't) saying on the microphone is what they are doing behind the scenes to help facilitate a smooth flowing, successful event. A quality provider coordinates with your other vendors and the venue staff both before & during your event in order to ensure that everyone is on the same page, and that everyone knows exactly what is going to happen when, and what's happening next. Our years of experience with many different types of events, and with many of the areas finest vendors & venues, makes us a great choice when you want your event to run smoothly from beginning to end.
