Great Weddings ‘Don’t Just Happen’

     Great weddings are a  result of specific planning and organization.  Unfortunately most weddings leave guests with a "my wedding won't be like this one" attitude.  Even after securing your vendors everything must be tied together and coordinated.  Couples desiring 'Great Weddings' invest time into their selection of their vendors and have determined in advance these vendors will provide services tailored to their unique personalities. … [Read more...]

Ryan and Krista’s Wedding Review

 Marquis Entertainment MADE OUR WEDDING! Every single moment of working with Marquis and his incredible staff (from the office staff to his assistants) was a pleasure. Marquis is more than a DJ.Along with providing us with unique ideas for our ceremony and reception, he acted as our wedding coordinator, friend, stress relief manager : ) and helped our guests and the two of us have the most unforgettable experience of our lives. From attending our rehearsal and discusing the importance of our ceremony with all of the bridal party, to ensuring that other guests were prepared with toasts, to remembering the name of EVERY SINGLE person relevant to our wedding, Marquis was unbelievable. His energy and kindness radiates through the room and you cannot help but smle when you are around him. … [Read more...]

Nelson/Meyers Wedding at St.Jorge Winery in Woodbridge,Calif.

 Janelle There are barely words to describe how valuable Marquis is to the weddings he does! He is not simply a DJ or entertainer. He creates the timeline, runs the timeline at the ceremony and reception and DJs plus makes genuine connections with the guests, remembers everyone’s names and gets people excited! He is great at communicating with people, from the grandparents to the flower girls and wedding party. He was simply amazing at our wedding and worth every penny! We continuously get comments about what a great DJ we had. From the start of working with Marquis, I was impressed. He was extremely responsive to my calls and emails- and by the wedding day, we felt so taken care of and stress-free. Marquis Entertainment provides exceptional services throughout the Lodi,Woodbridge … [Read more...]

How to select your Wedding Entertainment

It seems as though the majority of couples looking for Wedding Entertainment will generally go 1 of 2 routes. They will either contact several companies by phone to get quotes or book on-line. As in any profession their are distinct differences in terms of experience,knowledge,application and professionalism, none of which can't be displayed through a brief phone conversation or browsing over a website. I meet with all prospective couples to see if we're a good match,get a semblance of their personalities, determine what they'd like their wedding day to be and explain in detail what specific services we offer,none of which can be conveyed during a brief phone conversation or on-line. The entertainment will be the driving force of your wedding and how you make this selection … [Read more...]

Week of Wedding Cancellation

I don't think any of the many wedding professionals or businesses in general find happiness in last minute cancellations regarding higher ticket services or products. Recently we received a call the week of the wedding to notify us the wedding had been postponed. Our first thoughts are the amount of planning,scheduling and reserving the date that were involved. In this case,however before receiving the call I was going to suggest to the bride-to-be to change her date. After numerous conversations with her I felt with the many things going on in her life at this time her wedding wouldn't be the special occasion it should be. When and if she re-schedules I'm sure it will be at a better time in her life to truly enjoy her celebration.  UPDATE!  Our Bride has re-scheduled … [Read more...]

Evaluating Ourselves

Many of us have mastered the art of critiquing and evaluating others. Yet true personal growth comes when we're able to critique and evaluate ourselves. When people say things about us which we don't agree with do we automatically go on the defensive, attempt to change their opinion or think about what was said? When we reach the point that we can look in the mirror and honestly recognize our faults and weaknesses we're on the road to Ultimate Personal Growth.  … [Read more...]

BRIDES – “I’m too busy to meet”

As a policy we don't quote prices over the phone for the following reasons: We haven't had the opportunity to meet the couple in order to get a feel for their individual personalities, determine what exactly is needed and what they envision their wedding day to be. When quotes for entertainment are given over the phone does the couple truly know what they're receiving for that quote ,or even know exactly what they need. I've experienced on many occasions when meeting with couples there were necessities they hadn't even thought or knew about. For the couples who are too busy to meet hire a Wedding coordinator.. … [Read more...]
